Full Content Inspection: Enabling the DOJ Mission with Secure and Flexible Web Application Delivery and Hosting Environments
Matt Darlage, Senior Network Security Engineer, JMD OSS
This session is a real-world technical presentation depicting how the DOJ is evolving as an enterprise web application delivery and hosting provider using inline web application firewalls, reverse proxies, SSL termination, and content inspection services (anti-virus, intrusion prevention). Deployment of these services for publically accessible web applications creates a centralized user access path and security enforcement point through DOJ's TICAP gateway and their use enables DOJ to leverage efficient internal user access paths as well as facilitate information sharing between law enforcement applications distributed across DOJ and its partner locations. This presentation will dive into the challenges of being the DOJ enterprise web application delivery and hosting provider, the technical evolution of existing DOJ web application hosting models, and how advanced content inspection security services and monitoring mechanisms are making the DOJ enterprise more secure, flexible, and customer-centric.
