Abstract

With a remarkable growth and expansion of Internet, the security issues emerged from intrusions and attacks such as computer viruses, denial of services and hackings to destroy information have been considered as serious threats for Internet and the private networks. To protect networks from those attacks, many vendors have developed various security systems such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access control systems. However, managing those systems individually requires too much work and high cost. Thus, integrated security management and establishment of consistent security policy for various security products has become more important. In this paper, we propose integrated security management system called WISMSF(Web based Integrated Security Management System for Firewalls) to monitor and control various kinds of firewalls. WISMSF consists of three components - clients, integrated engine, and agents. It supports the transparent management functions of security products, easy ways of defining security policies, and simple expansion of managed ranges.
