4. Agenda What is compliancy? Audit Collection Services (ACS) Extending the functionality Non-Windows security monitoring Database model and reports ACS and WMI Tips and tricks from the field Lots of DEMO’s !

5. What is compliancy ? “Conforming to a specification or policy, standard or law that has been clearly defined” Prove instead of trust Government policies (HIPAA, SOX) versus internal policies Compliance: centrally collect, monitor, archive and report security events Auditing: maintain audit trail of internal security related activities Scalable and Secure: infrastructure must guarantee collection and integrity of huge volumes of security events

6. Infrastructure Optimization Security Mgmt Security Auditing Security Compliance

7. Introducing Audit Collection Services (ACS) Centralized monitoring across Windows, Linux and Unix Configuration change monitoring Monitor and Manage Microsoft and third party virtualization platforms Proactive Platform Monitoring Application & service level monitoring Problem resolution knowledge base Track and report service levels Service level dashboards Application and Service Level Monitoring Standards based Open and extensible platform for customized support Interoperability with 3 rd party management systems and help desks Interoperable and Extensible Platform Centralized Security Auditing Collection and consolidation of security events Reporting to meet audit requirements Default and custom reporting

8. ACS fundamentals Key Design Principles: Near real time exporting of all security events versus batch copy Immutable collection policy – tamper resilient Network friendly, lightweight, compressed event forwarding Scalable (collection points and event volume) Schematized events for improve analysis and reporting Efficient on-line storage High performance High scalability

9. ACS architecture Monitored Servers Audit DB Audit Collector Events subject to tampering Events under control of auditors Data Archival Monitored Clients

10. ACS Key Components The Forwarder is a separate service from Operations Manager that listens to the EventLog service and processes Security events near real-time to a Collector. The local security log is the forwarder queue in failover and connectivity outages. SLDC compression 128-bit RC4 encryption Kerberos if domain-joined TLS/SSL with certificates Port 51909 to Collector Default Network Service Acct. RolesDescriptionSecurityRequirements Windows XP Win2000 w/SP4 Win2003 Vista Win2008 Forwarder The audit database is the central repository for a single Collector. The database maintains data insertion and partition maintenance. The audit database has a 1-1 ratio with an active Collector. SQL Security or Windows Integrated Security End users require db_datareader rights only Windows Server 2003 or 2008 SQL Server 2005 Standard with SP1 SQL Enterprise and SP2 recommended Audit Database SCOM Reporting SQL 2005 SSRS The Reporting Server can reside locally on the audit database however it is recommended to run remotely on a separate server for performance reasons. Reports can be accessed via Operations Manager Reporting or SSRS Report Server Collector The Collector processes events from forwarders and manages the queue to the Audit Database. The Collector hosts the EventSchema and Filtering controls. TLS/SSL between Collector & Audit database Port 1433 inbound to Audit Database Windows Server 2003 or 2008 Operations Manager 2007 Supported Configurations http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb309428.aspx

11. Secure Communication All connections are mutually authenticated Kerberos if forwarder is domain-joined TLS/SSL if forwarder is configured with certificate All data is compressed and encrypted SLDC compression 128-bit RC4 encryption Ensure delivery of all audits Alert on Availability and Integrity Event 4631 Forwarder Disconnected Event 4335 Event Gap Stream Detected Event 4336 Forwarder Rejected Certificates Kerberos 51909 (CAC5)

12. Security Management Responding to day-to-day threats Provided by Management Packs Monitors, rules, views.. Notifications.. Develop your own management pack elements by identifying key events or look at third party solutions Free management pack for key Windows Server auditing scenarios: STAMP

13. Security Auditing Reporting on historical facts Forensic analysis Provided by reports Microsoft provides reports out-of- the-box Third party reports available Develop your own reports by identifying key events and using Visual Studio Report models for ACS available as of R2 On the CD image

14. Filtering Number 1 factor that influences load is the number of events being collected Filtering is a bottom up approach and must take into consideration audit collection and reporting requirements

15. Audit Plan Developing a comprehensive audit policy is a multi-step process: Determine “what” should be audited Identify how the information is returned Implement Audit Policy and SACLs Windows Server 2003, 9 audit cat. Windows Server 2008, 50+ sub cat. Collection, triggers and analysis Start planning this in advance!

16. Noise Filtering How do I filter out events at the collector? Collector uses WQL query as filter to limit events going into DB Use AdtAdmin.exe located in the collector’s directory: %systemroot%\system32\security\adtserver The /SetQuery parameter implements the new filter which removed events before being inserted into the ACS database Adtadmin /setquery /collector:[Collector Name] /query: "SELECT * FROM AdtsEvent WHERE NOT ((HeaderUser='SYSTEM' OR HeaderUser='LOCAL SERVICE' OR HeaderUser='NETWORK SERVICE') OR (EventId=538 OR EventId=566 OR EventId=672 OR EventId=680 OR (EventId>=541 AND EventId<=547))“

17. Sizing and Planning Log and Database Drives [Average number of disk I/O per event for (transaction log or database file)] * [Events per second for all computers] * [disk RPM] * 60 sec/minute = [number of required drives] * 2 (for RAID 1) Online Storage Requirements ((IncomingEventsSec * 400b * 60sec * 60min * 24hr) / 1073741824) * [RetentionPeriod] = total size of database in GB VariableValue Average number of logical disk I/O per event for transaction log 1.384 Average number of logical disk I/O per event for database file 0.138 Events per second for all computers Estimated by using the script and the To estimate the number of events per second for all computers procedure Disk RPMVaries, determined by disk device

18. ACS and Gateways Common scenarios for gateways Untrusted forest or domain Secure DMZ Workgroups Corporate Domain Work Groups Untrusted Domain Secure DMZ Trusted Domain Port 1433 Un-trusted domain Port 51909 Port 5723

19. Deploying Forwarders With Powershell Two scripts on the CD Can be used to enable or disable ACS forwarder for multiple agents at once Example here: http://contoso.se/blog/?p=433

20. ACS Enhancement in R2 Support for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 New Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 integrated ACS reports Improved report performance New multi-staged indexing design that further enhance robustness and performance Support for Cross Platform by CY 2H09

21. Out-of-the-box ACS functionality

22. Monitor non-Windows Security One option: partner solution Syslog Gateway runs on any OpsMgr agent that has ‘ACS forwarder’ enabled Translates non-Windows security events into Windows formatted security events Plugs into the existing ACS environment and ‘event stream’ Offline Storage Syslog Gateway nonWindows Devices Windows Devices Data Controlled and Trusted once ACS collects from Gateway

23. System Center Cross Platform ACS enablement

24. System Center Cross Platform ACS solution details

25. Windows Security events List of Windows event IDs: http://www.securevantage.com/Products/ACSResourceKit.aspx Event Source:Security Event ID:632 User:INOVATIV\garyadams Computer:DC01 Description: Member Name: CN=johndoe,CN=Users,DC=INOVATIV,DC=local Member ID:INOVATIV\johndoe Target Account Name:Domain Admins Target Account ID:INOVATIV\Domain Admins Caller User Name:garyadams

26. Non-Windows Security events Security event mapping Syslog data source Facility = 4 Severity = 2 Priority= 34 PriorityName = security.critical TimeStamp = Nov 27 04:49:50 HostName = 192.168.3.81 Message = “This is a test…” Event translation Facility = Attribute1 Severity = Lookup Table Priority= Attribute2 PriorityName = Attribute3 TimeStamp = Attribute4 HostName = MachineName Message = Attribute5 Windows event EventID = 3 Severity = Failure MachineName = 192.168.3.81 Attribute1 = 4 Attribute2 = 34 Attribute3 = security.critical Attribute4 = Nov 27 04:49:50 Attribute5 = “This is a test…”

27. ACS and non-windows devices

28. Windows Management Instrumentation Available on the ACS collector AdtEvent WMI namespace Exposes key attributes to a collected security event CreationTime EventID EventMachine PrimaryUser String01-String[..] Use custom rules/monitors or powershell/vbscripts to query

29. Using ACS to alert real-time

30. Sample script using WMI provider Dim dateTime, objWMIProvider, objEvents, auditEvent strCollector = "." strWQL = "SELECT * FROM AdtsEvent WHERE EventId=528" Set dateTime = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime") Set objWMIProvider = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strCollector & "\root\default") Set objEvents = objWMIProvider.ExecNotificationQuery(strWQL) While True Set auditEvent = objEvents.NextEvent() dateTime.SetFileTime(auditEvent.CreationTime) Wscript.echo "RDP logon to a server!" wscript.echo Wscript.Echo "Logon Time: " & dateTime.GetVarDate & " (UTC)" Wscript.Echo "Server: " & auditEvent.String04 Wscript.Echo "User: " & auditEvent.PrimaryDomain & "\" & auditEvent.PrimaryUser Wscript.Echo "IP Address: " & auditEvent.String02 Wscript.Echo Wend

31. Audit Collection Reporting Two reporting views: “AdtServer.dvAll” and “AdtServer.dvAll5” FieldDescription. IdThe primary key of the dtEvent table. EventIdThe event ID number. SequenceNoThe event sequence number from the event log. S/FS=Success, F=Failure. CategoryCategory name for the event (Logon/Logoff, Object Access,.. CreationTimeThe time the event was generated. CollectionTimeThe time the event was received by the collector. AgentMachineThe computer hosting the forwarder that sent the event. EventMachineThe name of the computer in the event header SourceThe source and log name for the event. PrimaryUser PrimaryDomain PrimaryUserLogonIdThe primary user logon ID for the event. ClientUserThe client (impersonated) user referred to in the event. ClientUserLogonIdThe client user logon ID for the event. StringId01 - 22The string in the appropriate position.

32. Authoring a custom ACS report

33. SQL Query Used in Reporting Demo SELECT 'RDP' AS LogonType, Logon.CreationTime AS LogOnTime, LogOff.CreationTime AS LogOffTime, Logon.String04 AS Computer, Logon.String02 AS IP, Logon.PrimaryDomain AS LogonDomain, Logon.PrimaryUser AS LogonUser FROM (SELECT * FROM AdtServer.dvAll WHERE EventId=528) AS Logon LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM AdtServer.dvAll WHERE EventId=538) AS LogOff ON Logon.PrimaryLogonId = LogOff.ClientLogonId WHERE Logon.String01 = '10' ORDER BY LogOnTime

34. Extending the Functionality Create dashboards using the extensibility of the platform Service Level Dashboard v2 Savision Live Maps OpsMgr solution accelerator for Visio (NEW) Use the objects delivered by Microsoft management packs or third party vendors to model your dashboard Easily provides a “security overview at a glance”

35. Extending the Functionality

36. Creating a security dashboard

37. Providing Access to Auditors Two parts to it Database Lock down the database with SQL permissions Create an AD global group for the auditors (and the collector account) Reports Change security permissions on the ACS-related folders/reports to only allow the AD global group to access them Step-by-step guide available

38. Tips and Tricks From the Field Monitor the integrity of the security system Plan SQL database rights Plan ACS collector ‘service account’ Create custom rules to.. report on (interactive) logins with the ACS collector ‘service account’ report on password changes of the ACS collector ‘service account’ report on AD group membership changes of ‘Auditors’ report on editing of SQL database rights report on disconnected or misconfigured ACS forwarders Your compliancy solution is only as strong as the weakest link

39. Tips and Tricks From the Field Use SQL enterprise Document every aspect of your ‘solution’ Collector ‘load’ will decrease when using “noise filters” Separate SQL reporting services server or not? Server configuration Use 64-bit Use dedicated hardware / management server Plan your disks for the ACS database Use SQL enterprise edition (if SQL 2005) Use SCOM 2007 R2 or apply hotfix 949969 and 954329 to SP1
