Security Features

Enterprise-Grade Security Layers

Our system is structured with multiple layers of protection that align with real-world cybersecurity practices. Below is a breakdown of the key features and tools integrated into our simulated environment.

Firewall & Proxy Configuration

Implements strict access control and traffic filtering policies to secure entry points.

HAProxy Load Balancer

Distributes incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances for redundancy and uptime.

Snort IDS

Real-time intrusion detection for monitoring network packets and preventing unauthorized access.

Shibboleth SSO

Provides secure single sign-on for user authentication and log tracking.

Hybrid Cloud Integration

Combines AWS and Azure for redundancy, data recovery, and scalability.

Automated Incident Response

Generates alerts and creates support tickets automatically upon detecting system anomalies.

Defense-in-Depth Strategy

Our security design follows a defense-in-depth approach, ensuring that no single failure compromises the system.

Network Layer

Firewalls, proxy servers, and network segmentation restrict unauthorized access.

Application Layer

Secure server configurations and controlled access to web services.

Detection Layer

Snort and IDS/IPS provide continuous monitoring and intrusion detection.

Response Layer

Automated ticketing and alerting enable rapid incident response.
