⫸ Port Scanner - An application that identifies ports and services that
are at risk on a network.
⫸ IDS - An application that detects when network intrusions occur
and identifies the appropriate personnel..
⫸ Virus Scanner - An application that protects a system against
viruses.
⫸ NAT Server - Presents public IP addresses to the internet on behalf
of computers on a private network.
⫸ Proxy Server - Can be used to enable hosts to access Internet
resources. Can increase the performance of a network by cachig Web
pages, which can reduce the amount of time required for clients to
access Web pages.
⫸ Isolation Mode - Ensures that wireless clients can only
communicate with the wireless access point and not with other
wireless clients.
, ⫸ PEAP - Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. A secure
password-based authentication protocol created to simplify secure
authentication.
⫸ LEAP - Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. An
authentication protocol used exclusively by Cisco.
⫸ RAID Level 0 - Disk striping. Stripes data across the drives to
improve disk read/write efficiency. Does not provide redundancy.
⫸ RAID Level 1 - Disk mirroring or disk duplexing. Any data written
to disk one is also written to disk two. Provides redundancy.
⫸ RAID Level 5 - Disk striping with parity and data across all disks
in the array. Requires at least three hard disks.
⫸ Protection against PBX attacks - Turn off remote maintenance
features when not needed. Use strong authentication on the remote
maintenance ports. Keep PBX terminals in a locked, restricted area.
Replace or disable embedded logins and passwords.
⫸ Technical Controls - Used to restrict data access and operating
system components, security applications, network devices, protocols,
and encryption techniques. Include all authentication mechanisms.
⫸ Detective Controls - Used to detect intrusion when it occurs.
