I have a thing for courageous dongles

my attitude is that they are all a joke so we might as well go with a cheap one that isn't a pain in the rear end to run like SEP. Maybe something that logs all process execution so I can shove that in the siem and do some real work since they won't like me do a global rollout of sysmon

i made a quick diagram because i feel like i'm not very good at explaining

The problem you've got here is that you're having your customer's tablets trust your root, but then having that root sign all the customers keys.

So your customer's tablets would trust not just their own, but all other customer's keys, via your root. Poof, no more security.

I don't know how this is supposed to make anything easier. Instead of having to add the cert their server generates, they have to add your root cert. Whatever, that still makes them add a cert, right?

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
FYI for people who care about SSL/TLS configurations, the Qualys SSL Labs tester is now marking servers that offer TLS 1.0 and 1.1 as grade "B" at most. if you want to get an "A" grade you will need to serve only TLS 1.2 and above. this is in line with the latest TLS configuration recommendations from Mozilla which also recommend TLS 1.2 as the minimum supported version (configuration generator matching those recommendations here). also, all of the major browser vendors have announced they are disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 by default in the first half of this year so make sure your servers enable at least 1.2 if not 1.3.

if you serve TLS 1.0 in tyool 2020 (nobody cares about 1.1 the set of devices that support 1.1 but not 1.2 is miniscule) you either do not care about your TLS configuration or do not care what Qualys has to say about it.

yeah I am pulling for defender but the only way I'm getting approval for that is with ATP because they demand some kind of centralized visibility. E3 licensing doesn't include it and I doubt we're going to E5 so its an extra bolt-on that I might not be able to afford

i just assume that this is what literally every program does if you leave that "send anonymous usage statistics to help make the program better!" box hidden deep within the settings menu checked

e: and also probably even if you uncheck it because they never thought anyone would uncheck it so they didn't test that

depends on what else you're doing with them, if it's just making an auth token that the same server which made the token needs to later validate for session-tracking reasons, it's probably fine.

What kind of visibility? if you’ve got SCCM, it manages the client pretty well with a few caveats (like not pulling logs centrally, no central quarantine, etc) but those are all pretty minor and could be easily picked-up by windows log forwarding. Most requirements I’ve seen just care that scans happen and alerts are forwarded to a central console.

its the log forwarding, really. We're super fragmented with 50+ domains that we're still trying to collapse down in to one, and probable another 50% we don't even know about yet. no existing windows event forwarder infrastructure exist and trying to push stuff with GPOs will only hit a fraction of the clients. Whatever we use needs to be able to ship client logs to something centrally that we can dump in to the siem without hassle or extra deployment poo poo

The point can be made that not having you chasing your loving tail on another product for 50% of your work hours is worth the money.

I mean it's this but also oligopoly pricing when you're on top of the market is good for quarterly reports.

that's fine from a security standpoint, sort of. the actual problem becomes one of orchestration, because everything consuming the JWT needs to trust the keypair. how do you scale that to multiple signers?

1. add another key to a hardcoded list of trusted keys
2. copy the keypair around
3. trust another keypair that signs the keys that actually do the signing

(1) obviously eventually falls down with scale, but can get you pretty far (2) is terrible (3) is a rudimentary CA

and of course you have to have a decent rotation and revocation workflow figured out for when a dev inevitably uploads a server's private key to github

you want to search through SEP logs? then you're going to have in ingest this loving mess



Each of those is a unique csv log feed with its own schema, zero adherence to anything resembling a common information model, and even basic attributes like the client container aren't consistent across them so you're doing join lookups all over the place to figure out who the gently caress owns the server that just got a doublepulsar IPS hit because the IPS logs will only tell you the hostname and IP address and nothing else
