Testing Jet Infosystems

Specialists of Jet Infosystems company completed testing of the solution Trend Micro Deep Security 7.5 intended for information system protection of the corporate level in April, 2011. The carried-out bench tests confirmed that the product is complex means of protecting from the specific threats characteristic of virtual environments. Testing was held at the stand of Jet Infosystems company under control of VMware vSphere 4 (ESX) including:

• the server of management Deep Security Manager (it was developed both in virtual environment, and on the selected physical server);
• the preconfigured Deep Security virtual machine (Virtual Appliance);
• software agent for installation on the protected OS (testing was held on the Windows, RHEL and Solaris operating systems).

Within testing special attention was paid to check of functionality of the product developed taking into account features of virtual environments. Trend Micro Deep Security 7.5 is integrated with VMsafe API and provides protection of virtual machines of VMware against a malicious code without the need for installation of agents. The technology allowing to transfer loading which is created by work of an antivirus and means of an intrusion prevention on each virtual machine separately, on the selected Deep Security virtual machine (Virtual Appliance) was checked. Besides, in Virtual Appliance are tested not only protection against malware for all ESX host, but also function of the firewall, detection and prevention of network attacks.

Testing of the client software which can be established in a virtual and physical medium and does not use special functions of a hypervisor is also held:

• the firewall with tracking of a status of connections;
• mechanisms of detection and intrusion prevention,
• protection against malware,
• control of integrity and management of event logs.

During tests the solution based on Deep Security was integrated with the systems of the class SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), in particular with ArcSight ESM. Specialists of Jet Infosystems company confirmed that thanks to support of the CEF standard integration of a product with ArcSight ESM does not require the special connector and provides easy connection of the solution to this system.

Experts especially noted availability of the unified clear interface for implementation and solution management both in virtual environment, and in physical. The management system of Deep Security Manager considers rules of the firewall, a signature for protection of web applications, signatures of network attacks, functions of control of integrity.

Testing for scalability in a cloud environment

Trend Micro aimed to execute the test of scalability of one of own products (Trend Micro Deep Security). Fast superficial calculation showed that accomplishment of this task would require 35 Dell 710 servers with a possibility of virtualization. Find so many available servers – a difficult task for any company, and purchasing so many servers for the sake of monthly testing, there could not be also a speech.

Therefore it was decided to ask for the help oblaa. Infrastructure of Amazon Web Services (AWS) using which it was succeeded to receive necessary quantity of less large resources became the suitable solution. (In this case small copies were ideal for modeling of large architecture "manager-agent", and each copy modelled a great number of agents.

It must be kept in mind that just it will not be possible to open an account and to make a request for 1000 small copies. The staff of Amazon contacts the client by e-mail to define a required ratio of types of copies, platforms, zones of availability and regions which will be profitable to both your project, and AWS. Right after determination of a configuration we developed necessary instruments of fast increase or reduction of scale of our test environment. AMI (templates) and tools using the application programming interfaces for detection and monitoring of resources treated them.

Trend Micro did not pass strangeness of the AWS platform, such as distortion of the time diagram at active use of the CPU resources, incorrect information on the CPU resources for small copies in CloudWatch and inevitable "wars of the prices" for point copies. Because of the special nature of tests not everything went according to the plan. Occasionally at increase in scale there were error messages from the application programming interface of AWS with a formulation "not enough resources". Useful will have spare options on a case when the necessary type of a copy or the region are overloaded.

In the course of the solution of different tasks the AWS platform showed good search capabilities and fast problem solving with scalability. Having an opportunity to quickly receive hundreds of virtual machines from one AMI, we could increase and reduce scale depending on test conditions.
