Chapter 10: Detecting and Isolating Malware Security Threats
In the following example, a rule or filter called “worm1” is created. The source endpoint
for worm1 is IP address 192.168.0.2 with any destination over TCP port 1275. When a
match is found, the rule drops the packet. The filter has a precedence of 500.
(SafeGuardOS) (policy-malware) #filter worm1 from host 192.168.0.2 to any TCP
1275 action deny 500
(SafeGuardOS) (policy-malware) #
In the next example, filterfix1 allows any endpoint to access Microsoft’s update page:
(SafeGuardOS) (policy-malware) #filter filterfix1 from any to domain
windowsupdate.microsoft.com TCP 1275 permit
(SafeGuardOS) (policy-malware) #
Attaching the Policy to the User Roles
Attach the malware remediation policy to the various user roles that are defined in the
system. Use the malware-policy command in user-role submode, with the following
syntax:
malware-policy name
In following example, we attach the malware policy to the two default roles
“unauthenticated” and “authenticated”.
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # user-role unauthenticated
(SafeGuardOS) (user-role) # malware-policy Allow-to-Remediation-Server
(SafeGuardOS) (user-role) # exit
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # user-role authenticated
(SafeGuardOS) (user-role) # malware-policy Allow-to-Remediation-Server
(SafeGuardOS) (user-role) #
Configuring for Domain Name Service (DNS) Server Support (optional)
If specifying a domain name as the destination on a filter, SafeGuard OS offers some
additional customization to support DNS, as follows:
■ Configuring DNS Server IP Addresses
■ Configuring a Refresh Rate
precedence
number
Each policy filter has an associated precedence
which sorts the filters with in the policy. The
precedences have a valid range of 1(highest)
to 65535 (lowest). If a precedence number is not
supplied, the system assigns a precedence. For
an overview to precedence numbers and auto-
precedence, see Displaying Policy
Configurations on page 327.
Syntax Description name A name that identifies the policy.
