Site-to-site IPsec VPN with two FortiGates

In this example, you will allow transparent communication between two networks that are located behind different FortiGates at different offices using route-based IPsec VPN. The VPN will be created on both FortiGates by using the VPN Wizard's Site to Site - FortiGate template. In this example, one office will be referred to as HQ and the other will be referred to as Branch. 1. Configuring the HQ IPsec VPN On the HQ FortiGate, go to VPN > IPsec Wizard . Select the Site to Site template, and select FortiGate . In the Authentication step, set IP Address to the IP of the Branch FortiGate (in the example, 172.20.120.135 ). After you enter the gateway, an available interface will be assigned as the Outgoing Interface . If you wish to use a different interface, select it from the drop-down menu.

Be fraud aware - What are phishing, smishing and vishing.

You may have heard the terms phishing, smishing or vishing before, but what exactly do they mean? At their core, all three terms are a type of financial fraud which tricks unsuspecting victims into giving out sensitive personal information, handing over money or installing malware onto their device. The only difference between each term is the channel via which you can be targeted; phishing refers to scam emails, smishing refers to scam text or WhatsApp messages and vishing takes place over the phone.

Cisco Releases Security Updates for Cisco ASA 5506-X, 5508-X, 5516-X and Firepower// Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvp36425

A vulnerability in the cryptographic driver for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software (ASA) and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reboot unexpectedly. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) ingress packet header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted TLS/SSL packet to an interface on the targeted device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload, which will result in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Note: Only traffic directed to the affected system can be used to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability affects systems configured in routed and transparent firewall mode and in single or multiple context mode. This vulnerability can be triggered by IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. A valid SSL or TLS session is required to exploit this vulnerability. Cisco has...
