Understanding Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA)

Understanding Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA)

Introduction As the digital landscape expands and cyber threats become more sophisticated, traditional security models struggle to keep up. To address these evolving challenges, the concept of Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) has emerged as a compelling approach to safeguarding critical resources and data. This article delves into the principles underpinning the Zero Trust model, examines its pros and cons, and provides insights for organizations looking to embrace this paradigm shift in cybersecurity.

Zero Trust Unveiled Introduced by Jon Kindervag of Forrester in 2010, "Zero Trust" is a cybersecurity model built on the principle of "never trust, always verify." [1] Under the Zero Trust approach, all users and devices are required to authenticate and obtain authorization before accessing services or data. Imagine a network akin to a series of security checkpoints where every user and device must present identification and seek permission at each juncture.

Demystifying Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) is an IT network framework rooted in zero trust security principles. ZTNA places a strong emphasis on robust access controls and stringent verification for any device or user seeking entry to a network or system. Regardless of whether users are inside or outside the network, stringent authentication and authorization protocols must be met to access network resources.

In the realm of conventional network security approaches, perimeter-based strategies have been common. For instance, organizations often trust their internal networks, allowing employees and internal systems open access to data and system devices. However, over the past decade, hackers have exposed the limitations of these perimeter-centric defenses. [2]

Zero Trust Networking takes a more meticulous and cautious approach to security. The zero-trust framework can be distilled into seven core pillars: [3]

Identity and Access Management (IAM):
IAM serves as the bedrock of zero trust, crucial in implementing the architecture. It entails verifying the identity of users and devices attempting to access network resources. This verification involves methods like multi-factor authentication (MFA), biometrics, single sign-on (SSO), and client certificates. By permitting only authorized entities access, IAM reduces the risk of breaches and unauthorized access.
Device Security:
This pillar focuses on ensuring that devices entering the network adhere to stringent security criteria and organizational policies. These prerequisites might involve using the latest security software/patches, malware-free status, and the absence of jailbreaking.
Network Segmentation:
Zero Trust advocates for dividing the network into isolated segments, thwarting lateral movement by attackers. This strategy ensures that even if one part is compromised, the rest remain secure. Access between segments adheres to the principle of least privilege.
Application Security:
Ensuring applications are securely designed, granting access only to the necessary functions for each user or device, is critical under ZTNA.
Data Security:
Protecting data is paramount; data must be appropriately encrypted during storage and sharing. Access to data is strictly controlled and monitored, limiting entry to authorized users.
Visibility and Analytics: Zero Trust emphasizes continuous monitoring, providing real-time insights into user behavior, device health, and access patterns. This enables swift threat detection and risk mitigation.
Automation and Orchestration: Automation streamlines security tasks, bolstering incident response and reducing human error.

Advantages of Zero Trust Architecture As cyber threats escalate and traditional security measures prove inadequate, Zero Trust networks emerge as robust shields for sensitive data and vital assets. These networks mandate perpetual authentication, monitoring, and authorization for every user, device, and application, transcending the confines of perimeter-based security. Key benefits include:

Enhanced Security via Micro-Segmentation: Zero Trust diminishes inherent trust, bolstering security by segmenting networks into isolated units. Each user is authenticated before accessing a segment, curbing the attack surface and minimizing breach impact.
Guarding Against Insider Threats: Zero Trust reduces the risk of insider threats by rigorously confirming user identities and enforcing least privileged access. Security is applied uniformly to all users, as the model assumes no entity, even insiders, can be fully trusted.
Granular Access Controls: Zero Trust enforces precise access limits based on factors like user identification, device health, and behavior. This minimizes unauthorized access and lowers the attack surface.
Adaptive Authentication and Strong Policies: Adaptive authentication methods, like multi-factor authentication (MFA), strengthen security while offering a favorable user experience. Strong policies further ensure minimal compromise.
Improved Visibility and Monitoring: Zero Trust networks facilitate real-time monitoring, rapidly identifying security issues and anomalies.

Disadvantages of Zero Trust Network Architecture Although Zero Trust networks revolutionize cybersecurity by rejecting implicit trust and enforcing continuous verification, they come with certain drawbacks. Here are some key challenges and strategies to mitigate them:

Complexity and Implementation Challenges: Transitioning to ZTNA can be complex, especially for organizations with extensive IT infrastructures. Meticulous planning and gradual deployment can mitigate these challenges.
Increased Management Overhead: Frequent authentication and access checks can burden IT teams. Automation and advanced tools can alleviate this overhead.
Increased Security Investment: Implementing ZTNA requires investments in security technologies. Thorough evaluation and cost-benefit analysis can optimize these investments.
User and Device Onboarding Complexity: Proper onboarding processes and automation can streamline the onboarding of users and devices.
Potential False Positives: Fine-tuning monitoring systems and leveraging machine learning can reduce false positives.
Resistance to Change and Training Needs: Proper training and communication are essential to overcome resistance to the new model.

In conclusion, Zero Trust Network Architecture offers robust cybersecurity by abandoning implicit trust in favor of continual verification. Organizations can mitigate its challenges through meticulous planning, efficient tools, and strategic communication. By embracing the security benefits of ZTNA, organizations can protect their critical data and assets amidst evolving threats.

Summary: The article discusses Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA), an approach to cybersecurity that focuses on continuous authentication, authorization, and access controls. ZTNA challenges traditional security models by eliminating implicit trust and verifying all users, devices, and applications seeking access to resources. The article outlines the seven core pillars of ZTNA: Identity and Access Management, Device Security, Network Segmentation, Application Security, Data Security, Visibility and Analytics, and Automation and Orchestration. The advantages include enhanced security, protection against insider threats, granular access controls, adaptive authentication, improved visibility, and monitoring. However, there are also disadvantages such as complexity, increased management overhead, higher security investments, and potential false positives. The article suggests strategies to mitigate these challenges, including meticulous planning, automation, and training.

Securing VIO Server
======================================================
To use ssh, comes pre-installed with vio 1.3 onwards,
$ oem_setup_env
# ln -s /usr/bin/ssh /usr/ios/oem/ssh
# ln -s /usr/bin/scp /usr/ios/oem/scp
# exit
$

Stopping Telnet & Ftp
$ stopnetsvc telnet
$ stopnetsvc ftp

Blocking any unused network sockets
The VIOS comes with a predefined set of rules, defined in /home/ios/security/viosecure.ctl.
The IP filters are activated by issuing a
$ viosecure -firewall on -reload

and they can be listed with the command
$ viosecure -firewall view

If /home/ios/security/viosecure.ctl is missing (due to whatever reason),
you can still activate IP filters by issuing
$ viosecure -firewall on -force -reload

To block any traffic to port 80, 20 and 21, apply the following commands as padmin:
$ viosecure -firewall deny -port 80
$ viosecure -firewall deny -port 20
$ viosecure -firewall deny -port 21

and check your results with another "view" command.
$ viosecure -firewall allow -port 20 -remote
$ viosecure -firewall allow -port 21 -remote

Q:Having a few problems understanding the mapping between physical location codes, HMC location codes, and AIX (virtual?)
  location codes. Mainly this is a problem with I/O devices (no micropartitioning). Does anyone know a good doc/redbook
  that goes through this?

A:the p520/5520 hardware guides cover this, as does the infocenter on the HMC Anyone have a link to the hardware guide?
  I keep getting stuck in the 'Hardware Information Center' and can't find AIX location codes in there. For instance the
  AIX install tells me hdisk0 is at 08-08-00-3,0. How do I map that location to the HMC Uxxxx.ccc.sssssss,Bus 2,Slot C4
  (or wherever) location code?

1. Run IOS commands as root
According to IBM you should never work as root on VIO servers. However, if you login as user padmin and type

oem_setup_env

you get the root credentials (without even been asked for a password).

By default the ioscli commands are not available for the root user. All ioscli commands are in fact calls of /usr/ios/cli/ioscli with the command as argument. You see this if you list the aliases of the padmin user.

Knowing this you can use all ioscli commands as user root by appending /usr/ios/cli/ioscli. Instead of »lsmap -all« you would type

root@vios# /usr/ios/cli/ioscli lsmap -all

If you set an alias

alias i=/usr/ios/cli/ioscli

you could even type

root@vios# i lsmap -all

IOS - Information and Maintenance1. List all ioscli commands

$ help

You can type

$ help <command>

to display a command's syntax, e.g

$ help lsmap
Usage: lsmap {-vadapter ServerVirtualAdapter | -plc PhysicalLocationCode |
   -all} [-type BackingDeviceType ... | -net]
   [-field FieldName ...] [-fmt delimiter]
   Displays the mapping between physical and virtual devices.

   -all Displays mapping for all the server virtual adapter
   devices.

   -vadapter Specifies the server virtual adapter device
   by device name.

   -plc Specifies the server virtual adapter device
   by physical location code.

   -type Specifies to display virtual devices whose backing
   device matches the type given.

   -net Specifies supplied device is a virtual server
   Ethernet adapter.

   -field Specifies a list of fields to be displayed.

   -fmt Divides output by a user-specified delimiter.

2. IOS Version

$ ioslevel
1.5.2.1-FP-11.1

$ ioslevel
1.5.2.0
$

3. Apply IOS Fixes
Put the IOS fixes somewhere in a local directory or on an NFS server (e.g. /mnt/iosfixes). Then run

$ updateios -dev /mnt/iosfixes -install -accept

4. Reboot the VIO Server

$ shutdown -restart

Virtual Devices: Storage1. List unmapped disks

$ lspv -free
NAME PVID SIZE(megabytes)
hdisk24 none 8631
hdisk25 none 8631
hdisk26 none 8631
hdisk27 none 8631

Warning: If you use vendor specific device drivers (such as the SDD or EMC drivers) you see all hdisks as free. You have to limit the list to your logical devices, e.g.

$ lspv -free | grep vpath

2. List all Disk Mappings

$ lsmap -all

3. Create a Virtual SCSI Host Adapter
This has to done on the HMC for the profile of the VIO server: You create a new Virtual SCSI Host-Adapter and assign it
only to your client LPAR.

The same slot ID should then be assigned to a new client adapter in the client LPAR's profile.

You can do these steps dynamically to avoid a restart of the VIO server. Use the Dynamic Logical Partitioning option
for that. If you go for the dynamic option don't forget to do the same assignments in the profiles aswell, otherwise
your LPAR loses all storage after a new start of the VIOS!

After dynamically adding the server hostadapters you have to rerun the configuration mamager before you can see the
new vhost device:

$ cfgdev

4. Remove a Virtual SCSI Host Adapter

$ rmdev -dev vhostX [ -recursive ]

The option »-recursive« can be used to remove all still attached child devices.

Then remove the adapters dynamically from the VIO server aswell as from the VIOS' profile.

5. Assign a Disk/LV to a Virtual SCSI Host Adapter
To map hdisk22 to vhost1 just type

$ mkvdev -vdev hdisk22 -vadapter vhost1
  vtscsi19 available

The VIO server assigns the next free number (19 here) and creates the mapping device vtscsi19. But you can specify your own name for the mapping device by making use of the »-dev« option:

$ mkvdev -vdev hdisk22 -dev vthdisk22_barney -vadapter vhost1
  vthdisk22_barney available

If you use LVs rather than whole disks or LUNs the same rules apply:

# default mapping device
$ mkvdev -vdev lpar21_lv03 -vadapter vhost1
  vtscsi19 available

# custom mapping device
$ mkvdev -vdev lpar21_lv03 -dev vtdisk21_lv03 -vadapter vhost1
  vtdisk21_lv03 available

6. Unassign a Disk/LV from a Virtual SCSI Host Adapter

$ rmvdev -vtd vtscsiXX

Virtual Devices: Network1. List Shared Ethernet Adapters

$ lsmap -all -net
SVEA Physloc
------ --------------------------------------------
ent12 U9117.570.65E12FB-V2-C20-T1

SEA ent13
Backing device ent3
Physloc U7311.D20.651372C-P1-C01-T2

2. Create a Shared Ethernet Adapter
To create a Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) you need:

a physical adapter as backend: <PHYS>
a virtual adapter as defined in the VIOS' profile: <VIRT>
an internal VLAN ID: <VLAN>
If you use the Shared Ethernet Adapter Failover capability of recent IOS releases you also need
a second virtual adapter as defined in the VIOS' profile: <CONT>
for the control channel:
# simple:
$ mkvdev -sea <PHYS> -vadapter <VIRT> -default <VIRT> -defaultid <VLAN>

# Shared Ethernet Adapter Failover:
$ mkvdev -sea <PHYS> -vadapter <VIRT> -default <VIRT> -defaultid <VLAN> -attr ha_mode=auto ctl_chan=<CONT>

Example: To create a Shared Ethernet Adapter on top of an virtual adapter ent11 using VLAN 20, the physical adapter ent2 as backend, and the virtual adapter ent13 for the control channel type:

$ mkvdev -sea ent2 -vadapter ent11 -default ent11 -defaultid 20 -attr ha_mode=auto ctl_chan=ent13

3. List Links on Physical Ethernet Adapters

$ netstat -cdlistats | grep -Ei "\(ent|media|link status"
ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent3) :
Link Status : Up
Media Speed Selected: 100 Mbps Full Duplex
Media Speed Running: 100 Mbps Full Duplex

4. Set an local IP Address
To configure an local IP 192.168.1.2 address to en0 use

$ mktcpip -hostname <HOSTNAME> \
   -inetaddr 192.168.1.2 \
   -interface en0 -start \
   -netmask 255.255.255.0 \
   -gateway <GATEWAY>

5. Remove an local IP Address
If you want to remove the IP configuration from en0, type

$ rmtcpip -interface en0

Some New Virtual Disk Techniques
The AIX Virtual User Group (Central Region, U.S.) recently hosted an informative webinar presented by Janel Barfield. Download the presentation or listen to a replay. The topics covered in the presentation and replay go nicely with some AIXchange blog entries (here and here) I previously wrote.

By listening to the webinar, I learned a few other techniques that we can all benefit from. For instance, in my VIO server, I tried creating a file-backed virtual disk (obviously on this test box I was using rootvg; if this were a production machine I'd create another volume group and use that instead):

mksp -fb fbpool -sp rootvg -size 1G

This added a new file system to my rootvg:

lsvg –lv rootvg

fbpool jfs2 4 4 1 open/syncd
/var/vio/storagepools/fbpool

In my environment I did an lsmap –all | more and found a client to try this with. I ran:

mkbdsp -sp fbpool 500m -bd test_disk -vadapter vhost2

Here's the output I saw:

Creating file "test_disk" in storage pool "fbpool".
Assigning file "test_disk" as a backing device.
vtscsi5 Available
test_disk

I wanted to see what would appear in the file system that I just created, so I ran:

ls -la /var/vio/storagepools/fbpool

total 1024008
drwxr-xr-x 3 root system 256 Nov 03 15:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 256 Nov 03 15:18 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 206 Nov 03 15:24 .test_disk
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Nov 03 15:18 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 524288000 Nov 03 15:24 test_disk

Interestingly, that .test_disk file contains some XML data describing the disk that I just created:

more /var/vio/storagepools/fbpool/.test_disk

When I look at the mapping that exists after creating the disk, I can see:

lsmap -vadapter vhost2
SVSA Physloc Client Partition ID
--------------- -------------------------------------------- ------------------
vhost2 U7998.61X.100BB8A-V1-C15 0x00000007

VTD vtscsi2
Status Available
LUN 0x8100000000000000
Backing device hdisk3
Physloc
U78A5.001.WIH0A68-P1-C6-T1-W5005076801303022-LD000000000000

VTD vtscsi5
Status Available
LUN 0x8200000000000000
Backing device /var/vio/storagepools/fbpool/test_disk
Physloc
U78A5.001.WIH0A68-P1-C6-T1-W5005076801303022-LD000000000000

This shows me that now I have the new virtual disk with the backing device being handled by the newly created file. When I run cfgmgr in my partition that uses vhost2, I see a new disk. AIX running in my partition doesn't differentiate between the file-backed storage or my normal hdisk-backed storage (hdisk1 is my newly created disk in this instance).

# lspv
hdisk0 00004daa45ffe3fd rootvg active
hdisk1 none None

# lsdev -Cc disk
hdisk0 Available Virtual SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available Virtual SCSI Disk Drive

I can now use this disk as I would any other on my machine.

On the topic of virtual optical disks, one point brought up in the webinar was that instead of running multiple unloadopt/loadopt commands when using virtual optical disks, you can just use loadopt –f to force the disk image to load, even if a disk image is already loaded. This makes it simpler when using more than one CD to load the OS for instance, as you don't have to unloadopt before running the loadopt –f command when switching between disk images.
