4 Overview The is an appliance-based system used for performing scheduled IT assessment scans and deeper dive diagnostics. This guide is designed to provide an overview and specific steps required to install and configure the and schedule the collection of network and security assessment data, SQL Server assessment data, Internal Network Vulnerability assessment data, Layer2/3 Discovery and Network assessment data, Local Login Anomaly assessment data, HIPAA Compliance assessment data, and PCI Compliance assessment data to be used with other Network Detective modules. Components of the This is the Inspector software application that operates on either the Network Detective Hardware Appliance or on a user supplied Microsoft Hyper-V based system. Optional Network Detective Hardware Appliance This is an optional hardware component that can be purchased from RapidFire Tools to host and operate the. It is a small, portable appliance which plugs into the target network through an Ethernet connection. Inspector Diagnostic Tool This tool is used for configuring and troubleshooting the Inspector. The Diagnostic Tool should be run on the same network as the Inspector to perform diagnostics checks such as for Inspector connectivity or for available updates. Network Detective Application This is the same Network Detective desktop application and report generator that is used with any other Network Detective modules. This application contains additional features to manage the Inspector remotely. 3

5 Features One key purpose of the Inspector is to perform scans from the point-of-view of the client s internal network. Below is an overview of the scans that can be performed by the. Network Assessment Network Scan Note that this feature requires the Network Assessment Module. The full Network Assessment Scan from the point-of-view of the. The resulting scan can be used to generate reports from the Network Assessment module. Layer 2/3 Discovery of Network Devices (Exclusive to the Inspector) Run when the Network Assessment Network Scan is executed. Scans network devices for Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity information. The scans are used to generate Layer 2/3 diagram and detail reports. Internal Vulnerability Scan (Exclusive to the Inspector) This scan takes advantage of the point-of-view provided by being connected to the client s internal network. Data is collected about Open Ports and Protocol Vulnerability that would be exploited once a hacker is in the network. The Internal Vulnerability Scan focuses on INSIDE attacking INSIDE whereas the External Vulnerability scan checks for OUTSIDE attacking EDGE (INSIDE). Internal vulnerability scans are similar to external vulnerability scans; however, are performed from inside the target network. They look for vulnerabilities that are normally blocked externally by firewalls. Within a network, un-patched or vulnerable systems may exist that an external scan may not capture. This scan option performs a vulnerability scans with additional options which may be more intensive than the external equivalent. Please be aware that the scans may be resource intensive and should be run during non-business hours if possible. 4

6 HIPAA Compliance and Risk Assessment Scans Note that this feature requires the HIPAA Assessment Module. These network and local scans can be scheduled and executed by Inspector in order to identify ephi, network vulnerabilities, security vulnerabilities, and local computer vulnerabilities necessary to perform a HIPAA IT Risk Assessment. PCI Compliance and Risk Assessment Scans Note that this feature requires the PCI Assessment Module. These network and local scans can be scheduled and executed by Inspector in order to identify credit/debit card Primary Account Number (PAN) data, network vulnerabilities, security vulnerabilities, and local computer vulnerabilities necessary to perform a PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) Compliance and IT Risk Assessment. External Vulnerability Scan External Vulnerability scans are performed at the external Network Edge to check for security holes and weakness that can help you help make better network security decisions. The External Vulnerability Scan performed by Inspector includes a full NMap Scan which checks all 65,535 ports and reports which are open. This is an essential scan and is a standard security check to ensure a viable security policy has been defined, implemented and maintained to protect the network from outside attacks Automated Assessment Reporting Automatic Report Generation enables you to use the Inspector to schedule and generate of a number of assessment reports associated with the following: Network Assessments Security Assessments SQL Server HIPAA Compliance Assessments PCI Compliance Assessments Remote Updating of the The is easy to update remotely. Updates include bug fixes, new features, and additional scans types. 5

7 Automated Scanning and Scheduling Best Practices It is recommended that Network, Local Computer, External Vulnerability, Layer 2/3 Discovery and Network, and the Local Collector Push for Login Anomaly Reporting scans are scheduled to be performed on a weekly basis. It is recommended that Internal Vulnerability scans are scheduled to be performed on a monthly basis or after any significant IT infrastructure change has taken place. 6

Following are the steps necessary to set up automatically generated reports for the PCI Compliance Module: 1. Using Network Detective, create a new assessment that is of the type PCI Risk Assessment. 2. Associate your Inspector with the Site that this new PCI Assessment is created. 3. Complete all the requirements for a successful PCI Risk Assessment within this new assessment. This includes external scans, network scans, local scans, and all appropriate inform-based surveys and worksheets. When this step is complete the user should be able to generate all PCI reports. The user is free to use the Inspector during this initial PCI Assessment to gather the scan information as appropriate. 4. Once satisfied with a complete assessment, press the Finish button. Confirm that you wish to upload the data to the Inspector to be used with automatic report generation. 5. Start a new Assessment that is of the type PCI Risk Assessment. 6.
