  4. Homeland Security Grant Projects Critical IT Infrastructure Protection Program

  5. Program Overview • Program encompasses 12 separate but related projects that focus on prevention, detection, and response to cyber threats and incidents against critical State of Michigan IT infrastructure • All projects meet the goals and objectives required by Statewide Homeland Security Strategy • Funded by grant dollars from Department of Homeland Security

  6. Critical Infrastructure IT Protection Projects • What: Fixed Generators for State’s Data Centers • What: Security events correlation collected by isolated systems (IDS, firewalls, SMTP anti-virus scanner, etc) • What: Firewall technologies for the internal State network placed at each of the hosting centers to provide protection for internal zones • What: Intrusion detection devices and systems for internal protected zones and the extranet made visible to the IDS systems • What: Network portal system that provides encryption to user data without the need for client side applications. Commonly referred to as SSL VPN • What: Permanent, dedicated and secure, remote-controlled network monitor/analyzer shared between the connections to the Public Internet and server farm infrastructure at the Tier III hosting centers

  7. Critical Infrastructure IT Protection Projects • What: Decoy Server using honeypot technology provides early detection of internal, external, and unknown attacks • What: Network penetration tests to identify vulnerabilities • What: GIS information system for DIT Emergency Coordination Center • What: Software to reduce spam email entering the State’s email systems • What: Software preventing access to web sites that are deemed risks to the State's network and systems; spyware filter • What: Implement documented formal methods for the application of forensic risk analysis and risk management of information systems
