Cisco ASA- Is there a way to dynamically build and access list on a Cisco ASA firewall?

We have a Cisco ASA firewall that was configured long time ago without any access list. Since there is no access list, the firewall permits any traffic in and out of the network which is obviously a security concern. What is the best way to create an access list/firewall policy without breaking the applications that traverse this firewall? Is there a way to dynamically build an access list on Cisco ASA? We have a ton of traffic going through these firewalls so it would take a very long time to put a sniffer on the network and identify the traffic flows. Any ideas on how to create a “loose” access-list/firewall policy that can protect the network at a minimum? We want to create a simple access list that can at least protect the network from most basic forms of attacks without breaking our applications.

network engineer courses help cut budget?

let me know at least what area i should start

Thank You

Can you help me proof read this essay for computer class?

I did not understand that it’s as important to have as much security for a small home office as it is for a large business. My thought was if you were a large company sure you need great security but for a smaller company just put Norton Virus in and everything is secure. I now know that weather you have a large network or a small network, size is irrelevant in terms of importance of network security. A hacker could sit right outside your house and hack into your business finances, product ideas, emails and more. It is important to protect your system from any unauthorized access and misuse. Networks are very vulnerable due to facilitating remote access. Security is essentially to prevent loss.

Not only is it good to have top-notch security on your system. But in order to keep ahead of a hacker it is important to constantly review and maintain your system. It’s not enough to create security and leave it to do its job. It must constantly be updated.

There are lower end routers that can do their job that run anywhere from around
$40 – $50. This is very reasonable priced and may do the job but just remember you get what you pay for. Though you may not be able to afford it as a home user, a Cisco router would be a great choice if you were big on security.

A good firewall is very important too. There are two types of software firewalls. One type is that you install on your computer and it keeps you protected. The second type is the hardware firewall, which is a box that sits on your network keeping hackers and others out of your private life. Anti Virus is very important when connected to the internet to protect your computer from harmful code and software.

Always stay on top of your security for your business or it could put a halt on things later.

One thing I will take away from this class is all of your guy’s ideas about how to setup a SOHO. This will help me think of setups in the future for many years to come. I learned a lot from the people in this class and reading there post’s.

Is it “safe” to run without firewall software when connected to a site via a VPN connection?

I’ve found that after “upgrading” my Windows Vista laptop to Vista SP1, Cisco VPN client no longer works unless I disable ZoneAlarm firewall software. After doing this, Windows reverts to enabling Windows Vista firewall.

The articles I can find online about Windows Vista firewall services aren’t very complimentary. Claims are that it’s difficult to configure, and that it doesn’t protect a system against “call home” type malware.

My question is: if I’m in a VPN connection to a remote system, is there any need for firewall software? Do the remote system’s firewalls protect me from “call home” type malware apps, assuming a “best practices” corporate network? I’m assuming the encryption applied to my IP packets by the VPN protocol make packet sniffing difficult for hackers on the net.

I can enable the Windows Vista firewall while in the VPN connection, but is this sufficient for “good” security?

In my quest to gain Cisco certification, I have a question.?

I am working on a peer to peer network and I have done the following:

P2P

1.Using a crossover cable connect the two N.I.C cards.
a.Install NIC drivers
2.set the IP addresses
a.set the IP address to 192.168.0.1 on the left computer
b.set the IP address to 198.162.0.2 on the right computer
3.Set up work group/ name computers
a.Install service pack 2
b.Got to system properties under control panel
c.Set the work group to “WORKGROUP” both computers
d.On the same window name the computes “left” and “right”
4.Create same users for both computers
a.Create a user account for Cody(admin for right)
b.Create a user account for Jordan(admin for left)
c.Create a user account for Braught
d.Set all the passwords as password
e.Disable guest user
5.Turn off fast user switching
a.Go to the user accounts under the control panel
b.Select the change how users log in arrow
c.Uncheck both boxes
6.Turn off firewall
a.Go to the security center under control panel
b.Turn off firewall
7.complete user identification wizard
8.start Peer to Peer networking
a.got to administrative tools
b.click on services
c.and start the peer networking option

My problem is that I can not get the computer known as “left” to acknowledge computer named “right” so I can have a user on “left” be able to access the same named user on the other computer to adjust documents.

In other words, I want to be able on both computers have 1 documents folder that is able to be changed and accessed by the user, on both computers.
I can not use a router or switch. I am using Microsoft Pro with service pack 2.
