  1. Cisco Secure Remote Architectures Bobby Acker – CCIE #19310

  2. Session Topics Client-Based Remote Access Using Anyconnect Clientless Access Using WebVPN Portals Endpoint Security Using Secure Desktop New ASA 8.0/ASDM 6.0 Features

  3. Remote Access Using the Cisco Anyconnect Client

  4. Secure Connectivity EverywhereExtending the Self-Defending Network Partners / Consultants Controlled access to specific resources and applications Client-based SSL or IPsec VPN Clientless SSL VPN Mobile Workers Easy access to corporate network resources Public Internet Clientless SSL VPN ASA 5500 Client-based SSL or IPsec VPN Day Extenders / Home Office Roamers Seamless access to applications from unmanaged endpoints Day extenders and mobile employees require consistent LAN-like, full-network access, to corporate resources and applications

  5. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsCisco AnyConnect VPN Client for secure remote productivity • Extends the in-office experience • LAN-like full-network access, supports latency sensitive apps like voice (via DTLS transport) • Access across platforms • Windows 2K / XP (x86/x64) / Vista (x86/x64) • Mac OS X 10.4 & 10.5, Linux Intel • Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Edition (Coming soon) • Always up to date • Remotely installable and configurable to minimize user demands • No-hassle Connections • No reboots required • Stand-alone, Web Launch, Portal Connection • Start Before Login (2K/XP) • MSI – Windows Pre-installation package

  6. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsCisco AnyConnect VPN Client – GUI Details (Statistics)

  7. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsDatagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) • Limitations of TLS (HTTPS/SSL) with SSL VPN tunnels • TLS is used to tunnel TCP/IP over TCP/443 • TCP requires retransmission of lost packets • Both application and TLS wind up retransmitting when packet loss is detected. • DTLS solves the TCP over TCP meltdown problem • DTLS replaces underlying transport TCP/443 with UDP/443 • DTLS uses TLS to negotiate and establish DTLS connection (control messages and key exchange) • Datagrams only are transmitted over DTLS • Other benefits • Low latency for real time applications • DTLS is optional and will automatically fallback to TLS (HTTPS)

  8. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsCisco AnyConnect VPN Client – XML Profile (Start Before Login) … <ClientInitialization> <UseStartBeforeLogon UserControllable="false">false</UseStartBeforeLogon> <BackupServerList> <HostAddress>cvc-asa-02.company.com</HostAddress> <HostAddress>10.94.146.172</HostAddress> </BackupServerList> </ClientInitialization> <ServerList> <HostEntry> <HostName>CVC-ASA-02</HostName> <HostAddress>cvc-asa-02.company.com</HostAddress> </HostEntry> • The Client Initialization section represents global settings for the client. In some cases (e.g. BackupServerList) host specific overrides are possible. The Start Before Logon feature can be used to activate the VPN as part of the logon sequence. • Collection of one or more backup servers to be used in case the user selected one fails. Can be a FQDN or IP address.

  9. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsCisco AnyConnect VPN Client – Troubleshooting • Windows will utilize the Windows Event Viewer. Review the log messages in Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client. • Logging on Mac and Linux will utilize their ‘syslogs’ • Linux default location /var/log/messages • Mac location /var/log/system.log • Firewall port requirements – • UDP Port 443 (DTLS) • TCP Port 443 (HTTPS/SSL) • TLS will always be negotiated first, then it will further negotiate DTLS so you will see these messages in the log. • A SSL connection has been established using cipher xxxx. • A DTLS connection has been established using cipher xxxx.

  10. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsCisco AnyConnect VPN Client – Troubleshooting (Windows Event Viewer) • An example of how Windows Event Viewer will look.

  11. For End-Users, Access for All ApplicationsCisco VPN - Client comparison * Windows 2K / XP/ x86 / Vista x86, Mac OS X 10.4, Linux Intel 2.6.x, and Solaris ** Windows 2K/ X P x86 & x64 / Vista x86 & x64, Mac OS X 10.4 & 10.5, Linux Intel 2.6.x, and Windows Mobile 5&6 support planned (additive license) – Non Windows support and alternate connection modes available, including DTLS for ASA 8.0+ only

  12. Clientless Access Using Cisco WebVPN Portals

  13. For End-Users, Seamless Access Anywhere Personalized application and resource access • Personalized homepage • Localizable, RSS feeds, personal bookmarks, etc. • Delivers web-based and traditional applications • Sophisticated web and other applications delivered seamlessly to the browser • SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) – verified with RSA Access Manager • Intuitive user experience • Drag and Drop file access and webified file transport • Delivers key applications beyond the browser • Smart Tunnels deliver more applications without admin privileges

  20. Endpoint Security Using Cisco Secure Desktop

  21. Unique Security Challenges on the Endpoint SSL VPN Brings New Points of Attack Supply Partner Extranet Machine Employee at Home Unmanaged Machine Remote User Customer Managed Machine Before SSL VPN Session • Who owns the endpoint? • Endpoint security posture: AV, personal firewall? • Is malware running? During SSL VPN Session • Is session data protected? • Are typed passwords protected? • Has malware launched? Post SSL VPN Session • Browser cached intranet web pages? • Browser stored passwords? • Downloaded files left behind?

  22. Comprehensive EndPoint Security Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) now supports checking for hundreds of pre-defined products, updated frequently Anti-virus, anti-spyware, personal firewall, and more Administrators can define custom checks including running processes Posture policy presented visually to simplify configuration and troubleshooting (Pre-login sequence and Dynamic Access Policies) Cisco Secure Desktop consists of four features: Host Scan (Windows) Advanced Endpoint Assessment provides remediation and periodic rechecking capabilities (licensed option) Secure Vault (Windows 2K/XP) Cache Cleaner (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)

  23. Supported Checks Registry check File check Certificate check Windows version check IP address check Leaf Nodes Login denied Location Subsequence Visual policy simplifies administrative configuration Cisco Secure Desktop Pre-login Decision Tree

  24. Comprehensive EndPoint SecurityDynamic Access Policies (DAP) • The Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) is defined as a collection of access control attributes associated with a specific tunnel or session. • The DAP is dynamically generated by selecting and/or aggregating attributes from one or more DAP records. • The DAP records are selected based on the endpoint security information of the remote device and/or the AAA authorization information of the authenticated user. • DAP will be generated and then applied to the user’s tunnel or session.

  27. Cisco Secure Desktop (Secure Vault)How it Works Clientless SSL VPN Cisco Secure Desktop Step One: A user on the road connects with the concentrator and the Cisco Secure Desktop is pushed down to the endpoint automatically. Step Two: An encrypted sandbox or hard drive partition is created for the user to work in Step Three: The user logs in ASA 5500 Step Four: At Logout the Virtual Desktop that the user has been working in is eradicated and the user is notified Note: CSD download and eradication is seamless to the user. If the user forgets to terminate the session auto-timeout will close the session and erase session information Employee-Owned Desktop www…
