A Sun Cobalt RaQ550 already comes with some tools to detect portscans and buffer overflows. These tools are nice to have and are a step into the right direction. However, they do not offer the desired degree of protection which one would expect.

To prepare and to defend your valuable business assets against hacks we assembled a comprehensive, multi-layered Intrusion Detection and Prevention software which offers the best integrated protection available for SunCobalt RaQ550.

Our Security Package for the RaQ3 and RaQ4 has been in service for over two years and we installed it on hundrets of RaQs. Very few of them have been compromised and in all cases the Security Package quickly alerted the administrators that something strange was going on.

We finally released the Security Package for the RaQ550, too, which incorporates all known services of the RaQ3 and RaQ4 Security Package, but also goes one step further: Instead of the Ipchains based Firewall we now install an Iptables based Firewall which offers a slightly better degree of protection and allows more fine tuning of the Firewall rules in an easier fashion.

The question, which only you can answer is: Can you afford to do without?

This is what we offer:

When establishing an Intrusion Detection System Process, a defense in depth process concentrating on software, networks, and hardware is the key to success as SANS claims. Our approach to that follows these lines and creates several layers of protection.

In short this includes the following software packages (detailed description further down):

• Installation of all missing patches
• Upgrade of OpenSSH
• Installation of our custom built Firewall
• Installation of Portsentry in "Honeypot"-mode
• Installation of LCAP to prevent loading of kernel modules
• Installation of Logwatch
• Installation of FCheck (similar to Tripwire)
• Installation of automated CHKROOTKIT

All these programs are available as Open Source software and have been modified by us to suit the specific needs and environmental conditions on a SUN/Cobalt RaQ.
