Endpoint Firewall for Local Security Hardening in Academic Research Environment

摘要

This article presents a security system proposal, providing a low-level endpoint security and network activity monitoring. Its focus is to provide a necessary information for local administrators, who does not necessarily have the knowledge of networking infrastructure or access to it, according to the security policies of a parent organization. This paper presents a system designed for academic research environments, where it serves as a tool for an extended security in protection of sensitive data used in research and development against the local and remote threats.
