Question 1 of 60

A System Administrator has been seeing a lot of SSLv2-Weak_Cipher attacks reported on the network and wants to increase the severity of the events. How can this be accomplished?

Answer

Suggested Answer

What do the various Protection Levels in the X-Force Virtual Patch and Trust X-Force Defaults mean? feature is enabled by default but can be disabled). On Security Network Protection (XGS) sensors, this same Protection Level can be specified for each IPS
Object in the Intrusion Prevention Policy.
Note: Intrusion Prevention Object "" Threat level protection
X-Force Virtual Patch Protection Levels
✑ None
Do not enable any signatures by default. This option is for a user that wants complete control over which signatures get enabled.
✑ Moderate
The moderate policy enables most attack events for a good level of security protection with minimal chance of false alarms. The moderate policy is designed for users who intermittently monitor security events and minimally manage the IPS configuration.
✑ Aggressive
The aggressive policy enables a high percentage of attack events for a high level of security protection with a chance of false alarms. The aggressive policy is designed for users who perform testing and tuning before IPS deployment, and who closely monitor security events and occasionally fine-tune the IPS configuration.
✑ Paranoid
The paranoid policy enables almost all attack events (including events from the latest XPUs) for a very high level of security protection with significant chance of false alarms. The paranoid policy is designed for users who perform considerable testing and tuning before IPS or XPU deployment, and who closely monitor security events and frequently fine-tune the IPS configuration.

Question 2 of 60

A System Administrator wants to configure an XGS so that when the SSH_Brute_Force security event is triggered against machine Server1, any further traffic from the source IP address contained in the security event alert is dropped for a timed period.

How should the System Administrator configure the XGS to perform this?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

Question -
Why are some events allowed after setting a block response?

Cause -
Most network attacks are carried out in a single packet or in several packets that are reconstructed into a single "session." For these attacks, the Block response in the XGS Intrusion Prevention policy is appropriate to use, and is translated into a block packet response and/or into a block connection response.
Certain events, however, are classified as "non-sequitur." Non-sequitur events are events that require a succession of packets to occur before the signature is triggered. For example, a port scan signature may require a succession of ten port probes before the signature would trigger. In this case, many of the offending
"packets" would have already passed through the system.

Answer -
For these types of signatures, you must set the Quarantine response in addition to the Block response under the Default Repository > Shared Objects > Intrusion
Prevention > select signature > Edit > enable the quarantine response under the Quarantine tab > Save. The quarantine response blocks the offending IP for a period of time, ensuring that the remaining probes do not get through. The standard block packet or drop connection responses (set by the Block response) are ineffective in stopping this kind of activity when not used in conjunction with Quarantine.
List of non-sequitur events include SSH_Brute_Force.
