Building Compliance Rules for Ordered Lists in CLI Configurations with Itential - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Today’s networks are comprised of a mixture of network solutions that are managed by traditional command line interfaces (CLI) and API-based network controllers. As configurations change over time, it’s important that network teams have a flexible set of tools that help them manage these configurations to ensure they are adhering to current best practices and security policies to prevent outages and diminish security risk. Some of the most critical configurations use lists of elements, like Access Control Lists (ACLs), that must be ordered correctly, or they can lead to network problems. However, legacy tools are limited in their ability to define rules for lists that can ensure compliance. With Itential, network and security teams have a modern toolset to help quickly build Golden Configuration templates with rules to ensure list ordering, and then automate the process of running compliance audits that can integrate with your systems to orchestrate processes such as managing ServiceNow Incident tickets and notifying groups of non-compliant devices, and even automatically remediate those devices. In this live demo, Rich Martin, Director of Technical Marketing at Itential, will demo step-by-step how teams can: • Create a Golden Configuration template for CLI managed devices. • Apply rules for strict ordering for an Access Control List. • Apply rules for loose ordering for a NTP server list. • Utilizing restrictions for items appearing in a list. • Automating and orchestrating compliance audits using defined rules.
