Sistema de seguridad perimetral para el edificio ZEUS de ARCOTEL basado en tecnologías UTM de código abierto

Abstract

According to the statements made by many experts, information security is currently one of the main concerns of organizations. Something that is perfectly logical and understandable if one considers the increasing number of reported incidents of computer attacks on the assets of companies, mainly against information, much of confidential and sometimes belonging to third parties (suppliers, customers, etc.). Security gaps or vulnerabilities, as they are also known to allow cybercriminals to fraudulently access very critical information such as medical data, personal or banking, who do not hesitate to take advantage of this advantage to obtain their own benefits almost always at the expense of exposing private information unscrupulously. The reality, why IT security is considered a high priority issue that is motivating the implementation of prevention and defense mechanisms against the various computer threats that exist to prevent attacks that put your processes and services at risk. The present project contemplates a technological solution implemented in the ARCOTEL for the unified administration of threats or UTM by its acronym (Unified Threat Management) based on the Open Source PFsense tool. For its development, a set of ethical hacking and pentesting tests were carried out that allowed to characterize the existent vulnerabilities and to define a baseline in the security of the Institution and starting that deploy a set of control strategies to avoid possible incidents that could cause some damage in the network of the institution.
