To properly secure sensitive data, you need multiple cybersecurity measures in place, including antivirus (AV) and backup solutions. If your dedicated server stores medical data or other confidential information, you should consider integrating the Cisco ASA firewall to harden your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\">What is a Firewall?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A firewall is a hardware or software application that allows incoming and outgoing network traffic on a system in accordance with defined security rules. A firewall properly configured to negate or mitigate the <a href=\"https:\/\/cheatsheetseries.owasp.org\/cheatsheets\/Threat_Modeling_Cheat_Sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biggest risks<\/a> for your server environment will conserve processing power needed to maintain the dedicated server\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/dedicated-hosting\/imh-dedi-cpu-specs\/\">CPU performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"common\">Common Types of Firewalls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple types of firewalls for stopping cyber attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traditional<\/strong>, or \u201cstateful inspection,\u201d firewalls block traffic based on state (e.g., \u201clisten\u201d), port number, and protocol. In the past, these were the most common, while other methods were taken to provide better protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unified threat management (UTM)<\/strong> firewalls are beefed up with intrusion prevention and AV scanning capabilities for a fully fledged security package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both have their place in modern use cases today. However, web applications with publicly accessible API calls and executable code, like PHP, are vulnerable to advanced malware. This led to the popularity of web application firewalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"waf\">Web Application Firewalls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Web application firewalls (WAFs)<\/strong> operate as reverse proxies and use signature-based detection to block malicious activity. They protect installations at layer 7 (application) of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model against:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Code injection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zero-day attacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cross-site scripting (XSS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unauthorized access to APIs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Denial of service (DoS) attacks targeting apps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"host\">Host-Based WAFs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Host-based WAFs are installed on the system. The benefits are that they\u2019re easy to implement, and many popular options for Linux systems are free:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ConfigServer Security &amp; Firewall (CSF)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ModSecurity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fail2ban<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside is that since host-based WAFs are installed on the system, they share resources with the applications they\u2019re meant to protect. Even if the WAF protects your data during a DoS attack, your app\u2019s performance and users\u2019 experience will likely suffer. They also require some setup to work with your server hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cloud\">Cloud-Based WAFs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud-based WAFs are software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, not installed on your web server but deployed in front of it via DNS. Sucuri is great for larger businesses that lack manpower and need instant access to cybersecurity analysts in the event of a cyberattack. It\u2019s also pricier compared to host-based firewalls. Cloudflare also includes some WAF features. Both are often used in conjunction with a host-based WAF to greatly reduce traffic load and improve speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ease of use is somewhat negated if you don\u2019t have visibility into exactly how the WAF is protecting you against vulnerabilities specific to your application(s). You\u2019re also trading some server cyber risks for those of the security platform you\u2019re using. Lastly, it is sometimes possible to bypass a cloud-based platform for a stealthy infection, rendering cloud-based solutions ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our solution for businesses wanting to get the most out of their InMotion Dedicated Server Hosting: a Cisco hardware firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"asa\">What is the Cisco ASA Firewall?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 5500-X<\/strong> series firewalls protect protocols such as DNS and SSH from man-in-the-middle (MITM), DDoS, and related cyberattacks at OSI layers 3 and 4 (network traffic and data transfer, respectively). The network-based firewall is a hardware appliance installed and maintained alongside your dedicated server in our data center of your choice for significant advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traffic has no choice but to go through the firewall for stateful inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hardware appliance is unaffected by server operating system (OS) vulnerabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doesn\u2019t use server resources to fight cyber intrusions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perfect for gating unauthorized incoming traffic from private APIs, applications, and other resources in multi-server environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The SourceFire acquisition resulted in the Cisco ASA 5506 firewall being an all-in-one solution with next-generation firewall (NGFW) features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FirePOWER next-generation intrusion prevention system (NGIPS) services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advanced WAF rules specific to installed apps and user permissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for AV scanning and removal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to that a strong system backup solution, and maybe some security HTTP headers (Content Security Policy and HTTP Strict Transport Security), and you\u2019ve achieved a solid defense in depth approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Network-based firewall solutions are generally the most expensive due to data center storage requirements and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cisco\">Cisco ASA Firewall vs Sucuri WAF<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a short summary that dedicated server administrators can use for comparing the next-generation firewall vs WAF.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Cisco ASA Firewall:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Network-based hardware appliance installed in the data center with your dedicated server<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully-featured security solution that cannot be bypassed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highly configurable to suit your business needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires learning more about the Linux command line interface (CLI) and Cisco OS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configuration assistance available from our Managed Hosting team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great for larger corporations wanting top-notch security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Sucuri WAF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cloud-based web application not installed on your Linux machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be bypassed and must be used in conjunction with host-based solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manageable from a graphical user interface in the web browser<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proprietary and may have limited configuration to fill your needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Includes security analyst support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great for medium-sized businesses looking to outsource some cybersecurity support\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"start\">Getting Started with the Cisco ASA Firewall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more about getting started with a Bare Metal or cPanel-managed dedicated server packaged with a Cisco ASA 5506 firewall?
