Study Notes

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)

IPsec is built into Windows, not an extra software
It's not just for VPNs
Provides encryption and integrity for network services
Requires mutual authentication for access
Used to control access to TCP/UDP ports based on user groups in Active Directory
Can be used to create protected networks like internal VLANs
Works with host-based firewalls for improved security

IPsec Features

256-bit AES packet encryption
Packet digital signatures for integrity and proof of origin
Mutual authentication with Kerberos or certificates

IPsec Benefits

Encrypts common protocols like RPC, SMB, DNS, LDAP, RDP, VNC, and PowerShell Remoting
Limits access to network services based on user groups for Zero Trust security
Protects network services even outside the main perimeter firewall
Creates secure connections even without a VPN
