Resilient security

Question

This course reviews key issues in managing security in IBM Resilient. Topics cover a broad range of issues such as how to defang a URL, change ciphers and protocols, how to work with keyvaults, keystores and secrets as well as how to encrypt and backup the keyvault password.

Agenda

1. Defanging URLs
• This video demonstrates how to "defang" your URLs in IBM Resilient to help assure users do not inadvertently click on malicious links.
  
2. Changing Ciphers and Protocols in IBM Resilient
• This video demonstrates how to change the ciphers and protocol in IBM Resilient. There is a review of which ciphers and protocols are used by default using the nmap application, followed by a demonstration of which files need to be edited in order to adjust the ciphers and protocols being used.
  
3. Keyvaults, Keystores and Secrets
• This video discusses keyvaults, keystores and secrets within IBM Resilient.
  
4. Encrypting the keyvault password
• This video describes how to encrypt a keyvault password in IBM Resilient. The keyvault password is stored as an unencrypted file by default but can be encrypted using gpg to protect it and decrypted whenever needed.
5. Backing up the keyvault
• The keyvault stores all passwords used within IBM Resilient. If the keyvault were lost, it would result in a considerable loss of data. For that reason, the Resilient platform runs a backup of keyvault files to the system database anytime passwords are added or removed and after each system upgrade. This video shows how to use the resutil keyvaultrestore command to restore keyvault files from the system database.
