Study Notes
Chapter 10: Content Security
- This chapter covers Content Security Fundamentals, Cisco Secure Web Appliance (WSA), Cisco Secure Email (ESA), and Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA)
- Exam objectives covered in this chapter include Domain 4.0 Content Security:
- Implement traffic redirection and capture methods
- Describe web proxy identity and authentication, including transparent user identification
- Compare the components, capabilities, and benefits of local and cloud-based email and web solutions (ESA, CES, WSA)
- Configure and verify web and email security deployment methods
- Configure and verify email security features such as SPAM filtering, anti-malware filtering, DLP, blacklisting, and email encryption
- Configure and verify secure Internet gateway and web security features
- "Do I Know This Already?" quiz assesses if the chapter should be read thoroughly or to jump to the "Exam Preparation Tasks" section
- Table 10-1 maps major headings to quiz questions for quick review
- AsyncOS is the underlying operating system for Cisco Secure Web Appliance, Cisco Secure Email, and Cisco SMA
- AVC engine analyzes and categorizes unknown URLs, blocks websites, and determines risk levels
- Deployment modes for Cisco Secure Web Appliance include transparent and explicit forward modes
- Mail transfer agent (MTA), mail delivery agent (MDA), mail user agent (MUA), and mail submission agent (MSA) are components of email systems
- Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) operates as the mail server
- Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) components such as the Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) deliver emails to recipient mailboxes
- Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) components such as the Mail Submission Agent (MSA) receive email messages from email clients
- Mail User Agent (MUA) acts as the user's email client or reader
- A secure web appliance can detect and stop threats in cloud applications by working with cloud access security brokers (CASBs)
Cisco Secure Web Appliance
- Appliance includes web proxy, threat analytics engine, anti-malware engine, policy management, and reporting
- Protects users from malicious websites and malware
- Organizations can restrict access to specific websites (e.g., for work)
- Web Reputation Engine analyzes URLs, categorizes them, and blocks high-risk sites
- Reputation scores range from -10 to +10
- Supports typical web filtering
- Provides application visibility and control (AVC) to inspect and block unauthorized applications
- Supports antivirus scanning (e.g., McAfee, Sophos, Webroot)
- Features file reputation (updated every 3-5 minutes)
- Supports DLP to inspect web content and prevent data loss
- Supports file sandboxing for analysis of suspicious files
Cisco Secure Web Appliance Modes
- Explicit forward mode: Client traffic is explicitly directed to the proxy, bypassing standard DNS resolution
- Transparent mode: Client is unaware of the proxy, which handles requests transparently; often uses protocol like WCCP for traffic redirection
Cisco Secure Web Appliance Interfaces
- M1 (management): Used for managing the appliance
- P1/P2 (data/proxy interfaces): Required when utilizing two interfaces for web proxy traffic on different subnets. Can be combined with M1 interface.
- T1/T2 (Layer 4 traffic monitoring): Used for promiscuous monitoring of Layer 4 traffic (TCP and UDP). Either used separately or together.
Cisco Secure Email
- Deployed in various forms (physical, virtual, or cloud)
- Acts as the email gateway, controlling all email connections
- Uses SMTP for email transactions
- Email components include MTA, MDA, MSA, MUA
- Cisco Secure Email manages SMTP, accepting, and relaying messages
Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA)
- Centralizes management and monitoring (reporting) of Cisco Secure Web Appliances and Cisco Secure Emails
- Simplifies deployment and administration
- Enforces acceptable-use policies and improves threat protection
Additional Topics
- Key topics detailed: AsyncOS, different configurations, various components/features/uses of the web/email security appliances
- Exam preparation tasks detailed for preparation
