SSL VPN log auditing

The SSL VPN log auditing function allows you to audit user access records, operation logs, resource accesses, and authentication failures. You can also export and save the reports as an Excel file.

User access records auditing

The user access records display details about the access information of SSL VPN users, such as the username, IP address of the SSL VPN user, virtual IP address, login time, logout time, online duration, IP address of the firewall device, number of user operations, and number of accessed resources. It also supports flexible user access records query.

Configuration guide

From the navigation tree of the SSL VPN auditing component, select User Access Records under Log Auditing to enter the user access records page, as shown in Figure 102.

Operation log auditing

The operation log auditing allows you to audit operations of SSL VPN system operators based on the information of username, executed operation and related parameters, operation time, and IP address of the firewall device. It also supports flexible operation log query.

Configuration guide

From the navigation tree of the SSL VPN auditing component, select Operation Log Auditing under Log Auditing to enter the operation log auditing page, as shown in Figure 103.

Firewall specifications

HP Firewall, often positioned as a key component in enterprise network security, is designed to protect sensitive data and maintain secure communications across various environments. The primary role of a firewall is to monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic and make decisions based on a set of security rules. HP Firewalls utilize a combination of hardware and software to create a robust security framework that helps organizations manage their network perimeter effectively.

One of the main features of HP Firewall is its advanced security protocols that provide deep packet inspection. This technology scrutinizes packet contents beyond the header information, analyzing data flows for signs of malicious activity. By employing Stateful Inspection, HP Firewalls maintain a state table that logs active connections, allowing the firewall to evaluate packets in the context of established sessions. This helps optimize resource usage while delivering high-performance security.

Another characteristic of HP Firewall is its integration with HP's broader security ecosystem. By working seamlessly with other HP security products, such as HP Secure Access and HP Advanced Malware Protection, organizations can deploy a multi-layered security strategy. This integration enables centralized management, streamlining security policies and improving response times against threats.

HP Firewalls also feature next-generation capabilities. This includes intrusion prevention systems (IPS) that actively monitor network traffic for suspected threats and automatically take action to block potential breaches. Additionally, these firewalls come with application awareness features, allowing organizations to enforce policies based on specific applications rather than simply based on port or protocol. This granularity enhances control over minimal use of bandwidth while simultaneously mitigating risks from unwanted applications.

Furthermore, HP Firewall models are equipped with user identity management, allowing organizations to apply security policies based on user roles and the specific needs of the business. This significantly improves the overall security posture as it adds another layer of control.

Scalability is a notable characteristic of HP Firewalls, making them suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises. Organizations can expand their security infrastructure as needed while maintaining efficiency.

In summary, HP Firewalls deliver advanced security features, scalability, and seamless integration within the HP security ecosystem. Their emphasis on deep packet inspection, real-time monitoring, and user identity management make them a powerful asset in the defense against cyber threats, ensuring that organizations can protect their critical data and maintain the integrity of their network environments.
