摘要:
A method and system for creating security policies for firewall and connection policies in an integrated manner is provided. The security system provides a user interface through which a user can define a security rule that specifies both a firewall policy and a connection policy. After the security rule is specified, the security system automatically generates a firewall rule and a connection rule to implement the security rule. The security system provides the firewall rule to a firewall engine that is responsible for enforcing the firewall rules and provides the connection rule to an IPsec engine that is responsible for enforcing the connection rules.
摘要:
A security system that allows an outbound security policy for the connection security to be automatically derived from an inbound security policy for connection security is provided. The security system for an inbound security policy has security suites that each specify one or more security algorithms. Because the security system offers an outbound security suite that matches an inbound security suite, the computing devices that have the same inbound security policy have matching inbound and outbound security suites.
