So I tried Google Bard…

This article was written by Google Bard with the prompt “write a blog post on the importance of zero trust”.  Pretty neat but I really do question the ethics around using AI for media/publication generation.  Anyways here is what Bard gave me:



Zero trust is a security model that assumes that no device, user, or service should be trusted by default. Instead, every request for access to a system or data should be verified and authenticated.


Zero trust is based on the principle of "never trust, always verify." This means that organizations should never assume that any user or device is safe, even if they are inside the network perimeter. Instead, they should always verify the identity of each user and device before granting access to any resources.


Zero trust is a critical security model for organizations that operate in today's digital world. The traditional security model of "trust but verify" is no longer effective in the face of modern threats. Zero trust helps organizations to protect themselves from a wide range of threats, including:


* Insider threats: Zero trust can help to prevent insider threats by verifying the identity of every user and device before granting access to any resources.

* External threats: Zero trust can help to prevent external threats by verifying the identity of every user and device before granting access to any resources.

* Malware and ransomware attacks: Zero trust can help to prevent malware and ransomware attacks by verifying the identity of every user and device before granting access to any resources.


Zero trust is a complex and challenging security model to implement. However, it is essential for organizations that want to protect themselves from the latest threats.


Here are some of the benefits of implementing zero trust:


* Improved security: Zero trust can help to improve the security of your organization by making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your systems and data.

* Increased compliance: Zero trust can help to increase your compliance with regulations by making it easier to track and audit access to your systems and data.

* Reduced costs: Zero trust can help to reduce your costs by making it easier to manage and maintain your security infrastructure.

* Improved user experience: Zero trust can improve the user experience for your employees by making it easier for them to access the systems and data they need to do their jobs.


If you are looking for a way to improve the security of your organization, zero trust is a good option to consider. It is a complex and challenging security model to implement, but it can provide significant benefits.

Fix Cisco ISE Messaging Service

Cisco Identity Services Engine 2.6 introduced the concept of the ISE Messaging Service as an encrypted, lightweight protocol to replace syslog communication between the ISE nodes for logging purposes.  The ISE Messaging Services runs over TCP/8671.  In 2.6 Patch 2 and later, the Cisco ISE Messaging Service is enabled by default.   The overall implementation of the ISE Messaging Service has been buggy (but has gotten much better in recent versions) in both new ISE builds and upgrades.  One solution is simply to disable the ISE Messaging Service within Administration > System > Logging.  But then the ISE logging traffic isn't encrypted and the legacy syslog delivery method is not as efficient as the ISE Messaging Service so we will focus the rest of this article on how to identity and fix the ISE Messaging Service. Problem Identification Usually problems with the ISE Messaging Service involve a blank Live Logs page.  You know authentication is working as you have devices/users

ClearPass MPSK per Device Type with Profiling

Image
Multiple Pre-Shared Key or MPSK helps solve for IOT or other endpoint device types that are not 802.1X capable.  The Aruba ClearPass default implementation of MPSK (the configuration created by the wizard) requires manually registering, enrolling, and managing individual PSK keys per endpoint using the ClearPass Guest dashboard.  While the most secure approach, excluding any sort of API based automation, this can obviously be a nightmare to manage and support due to the sheer number of PSKs.  This approach instead delivers a unique PSK per device type (printer, thermostat, etc.) so that each flavor of endpoint would have its own PSK.  If one PSK was compromised, then only those endpoints would need to be manually re-configured.  PSK rotation would also be limited to only those specific device types allowing rotation to take place slowly over several weeks rather than all devices at the same time on the SSID with a traditional single PSK; lessoning the burden on IT staff and minimizing
