Description

Network security at IHEP is becoming one of the most important issues of computing environment. To protect its computing and network resources against attacks and viruses from outside of the institute, security measures to combat these are implemented. To enforce security policy the network infrastructure was re-configured to one intranet and two DMZ areas. New rules to control the access between intranet and DMZ areas are applied. All hosts at IHEP are divided into three types according to their security levels. Hosts of the first type are isolated in the institute and can just access the hosts inside of IHEP. The second type hosts access Internet through NAT. The third type hosts will directly connect to outside. An intrusion detection system works with firewall so that all packets from outside IHEP are checked and filtered. Access from outside will go through firewall or VPN. In order to prevent virus spread at IHEP and reduce the number of spam mail we installed a virus filter and spam filter system. All of these measures make the network at IHEP more secure. Attacks, virus and spam mails decrease dramatically.
