The Integration of The Cloudflare WAF

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a standard that ensures website visitor’s traffic is always sent using HTTPS ensuring that all traffic is protected during transit. This initiative was adopted in 2012 by the IETF and has grown in popularity all around the world. Because the traffic is encrypted with TLS/SSL, it can be used by attackers to bypass various cybersecurity capabilities such as a site firewall. To address this lack of visibility into encrypted traffic in motion, the CST at Fermilab acquired the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF). To help in the implementation and integration of the Cloudflare WAF, I was directed to learn about and aid in this process. This has been a profound learning experience into the on-goings of project management, web application firewalls, collaboration, and networking.

Designing a Comprehensive IDS Strategy for a Zero Trust Architecture Environment

Zero Trust Architecture or ZTA is a cybersecurity model for enterprises to structure their networked resources around to maintain total security externally and internally. In a Zero Trust environment, no part of the network is considered "trustworthy" and thus should be scrutinized and monitored extensively as is done in traditional "Trust But Verify" schemes at the network's perimeter. In this way, Zero Trust Architecture is a superior model for securing access to networked resources at the enterprise level. Fermilab, in pursuit of a better security posture, has decided to embrace this model of architecture for its network. Attaining this goal requires tremendous infrastructural, policy, and procedural adjustments that will affect all the lab's personnel and resources.
