Audience

The audience for this document includes network design engineers, network operations personnel, and security operations personnel who wish to implement the Cisco SD-WAN security infrastructure to establish secure Direct Cloud Access (DCA) within SD-WAN enabled remote sites.

Define: About the Solution

In traditional wide-area networking, Internet traffic from a branch or remote site is sent to a central location such as a data center or regional hub site. This allows for the traffic returning from the Internet to be scrubbed by a data center security stack before being sent back to the branch. This is traditionally done due to the prohibitive cost of deploying a security stack in every branch or remote site location.

However, as the demand for Internet traffic increases, more companies are utilizing cloud services such as SaaS (e.g. Office 365, Box) and IaaS. In addition, more applications are Internet-based, more business employees are teleworking, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices are demanding bandwidth as well. Backhauling traffic to a central site across the transport tunnels for Internet access causes increased bandwidth utilization from branch to the central site, along with increased latency, resulting in a degradation of overall application performance.

The solution is to enable local internet exit for guest and employee traffic at the remote site by deploying and maintaining Cisco SD-WAN within your WAN infrastructure. This allows you to manage your Cisco SD-WAN WAN network centrally via Cisco vManage GUI and leverage the security capabilities embedded natively in the Cisco SD-WAN single-pane of management.

Benefits of Enabling Local Internet Exit within the Remote Site

Some of the benefits of enabling local Internet breakout within the remote-site include,

     Improved Internet experience by eliminating latency in backhauling traffic to a central site.

     Enhanced crypto throughput and better application performance for corporate applications due to reduced load on IPsec encrypted WAN links.

     Reduced bandwidth consumption at the central site, which thereby also reduces WAN costs.

     Simplified Cisco SD-WAN template and policy configuration at the remote site to enable local Internet exit of specific application traffic, keeping business-critical applications on premium WAN links.

     Controlled access to the Internet per VPN basis, by leveraging segmentation to allow for separation of employee and guest traffic.

Within an Internet exit enabled branch or remote site, users and branch network can be secured by implementing Cisco SD-WAN security features within the remote site devices via the vManage GUI. The security capabilities available within the security policy dashboard on vManage include Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness (Application Firewall), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), URL Filtering (URLF), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), and DNS/Web-layer Security. 

Based on common customer deployment scenarios, predefined workflows are added into vManage to facilitate ease of deployment for the following use cases, such as:

     Compliance Use Case: This use case caters to any organization that services customers, accepts credit card payment to be PCI compliant.  In addition to the data being encrypted and sent over an IPsec tunnel, all packets are subjected to a stateful firewall and an IPS solution.

Security features leveraged in this use case include Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS).

     Guest Access Use Case: This use case caters to companies wherein guests bring in BYOD devices and connect to an open or password protected Internet connection.  To avoid any litigation, companies are liable to inspect and provide a good content filtering solution.

Security features leveraged in this use case include Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness and URL Filtering (URLF).

     Direct Cloud Access (DCA): This use case caters to customers who need to route some SaaS application traffic for optimal performance via local Internet exit and the rest of the Internet traffic via the HQ. The cloud traffic is inspected for malware.

Security features leveraged in this use case include Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and DNS/Web-layer Security.

     Direct Internet Access (DIA): This use case caters to organizations wherein all Internet traffic from a remote site exit via the local branch Internet exit and is inspected for malware, along with content filtering etc.

Security features leveraged in this use case include Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), URL Filtering (URLF), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and DNS/Web-layer Security.

 

In addition, you can also build your own custom policy by combining a custom variety of security features.

Within this solution, the security features available within the Direct Cloud Access (DCA) use case is explained.

Benefits of Deploying SD-WAN Security

Some of the benefits of deploying Cisco SD-WAN security policy within the remote site include:

     Simple and automated security solution: The intent-based workflow is designed for ease of configuration and deployment of the SD-WAN security solution. The workflow allows you to fill out the template to include all of the security capabilities and deploy it to multiple WAN Edge devices at the same time.

     Cisco SD-WAN security solution eliminates the need to deploy any addition security appliance within your SD-WAN network, thereby, avoiding any additional costs or complications associated with designing, configuring and managing those appliances.

     Centralized management: Deploy, troubleshoot and monitor the SD-WAN overlay solution with security capabilities across the WAN Edge devices centrally via the Cisco vManage GUI.

     Comprehensive SD-WAN security: With security capabilities enabled on your WAN Edge device, you can secure the remote site with:

     Enterprise firewall with application awareness restricts access to certain Internet destinations based on IP address/ port/ application family and more for remote employees and guests, with improved application experience.

     Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with deep-packet inspection mitigates network attacks by providing your network with the intelligence to accurately identify, classify, and stop or block malicious traffic in real time.

     Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) leverages global threat intelligence, advanced sandboxing and real-time malware blocking to prevent breaches by continuously analyzing the file activity across the extended network to quickly detect, contain, and remove malware.

     DNS/Web-layer Security with Umbrella Integration leverages cloud security platforms to improve security visibility, to detect compromised systems, and to protect users on and off the network by stopping threats over any port or protocol before they reach your network or endpoints.

Design: Cisco SD-WAN Secure Direct Cloud Access

Out of the four intent-based use cases available within the vManage security policy, the use case discussed in this guide is secure Direct Cloud Access (DCA).

Use Case - Secure Direct Cloud Access

Within the direct cloud access use case, the primary requirement is to allow users to route some or all of the critical or non-critical SaaS application traffic directly from the remote site WAN Edge router via the local Internet exit. This helps to offload some of the SaaS traffic from premium WAN connections and improve application experience.

The second requirement is to thwart any potential threats that could come from cloud hosted applications and its associated file download. In this use case, Enterprise firewall with Application Awareness is configured to inspect and limit access to cloud applications, Snort IPS/IDS to inspect & block known attack or malware signatures, Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) to prevent download of malicious content or file, and DNS/Web-layer security as an additional layer of protection at the DNS layer.

Figure 3.   Traffic Flow – Direct Cloud Access Use Case

The Cisco SD-WAN features leveraged within this use case include,

     Secure Segmentation via VPN/Zone to segment user traffic into zones and VPN/VRF.

     Centralized data policy to redirect some or all of the segmented user cloud traffic via local Internet exit.

     (optional) Application Awareness Route (AAR) policy to track network and path characteristics of the data plane tunnels between the WAN Edge routers and use the collected information to compute optimal paths for cloud-based SaaS traffic.

     Enterprise Firewall with Application Awareness, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and DNS/Web-layer Security to maintain a secure Direct Cloud Access (DCA)

 

Technical tip

In this deployment guide, enterprise firewall policy with application awareness is leveraged for traffic allow/drop and it works similar to a localized security policy that defines the conditions that data traffic flow originating from the source zone must match to continue to the destination zone. Firewall policies can match IP prefixes, IP ports, protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP), and application names or families. Matching flows for prefixes, ports, and protocols can be allowed, dropped, or inspected, and their packet headers can be logged. Non-matching flows are dropped by default. However, note that applications listed in the "application/application family list to drop" will be blocked regardless of the action associated with them. It is currently not possible to create a firewall rule to allow for flow of specific applications in the 16.12/19.2 release.

Prerequisites: Cisco SD-WAN Secure Direct Cloud Access

This section covers the prerequisites specific to secure Direct Cloud Access (DCA).

Process 1: Successful Deployment of Controllers and WAN Edge Devices

Step 1.     Make sure the controllers and WAN Edge devices are successfully deployed and operational.

Related image, diagram or screenshot

Technical Tip

Make sure to choose platforms that support the SD-WAN security features running the minimum required IOS-XE SD-WAN code with supported memory. For details refer to the design guide – Security Policy for Cisco IOS-XE SD-WAN Devices.

Process 2: Enable Local Internet Exit for User SAAS Traffic using Centralized Policy

Step 1.     Make sure to enable the NAT feature on the Internet transport VPN 0 Interface. The NAT feature translates the user IP address to the Internet facing Interface’s IP address.

Related image, diagram or screenshot

Step 2.     Configure centralized data policy to redirect certain application (cloud) traffic to transport VPN 0 NAT Interface. Within the data policy, application traffic matching a list of applications (SAAS_Application) is leaked from service-side VPN 1 to a NAT enabled interface in transport VPN 0. The Default Action is set to Accept.

Note: In this example, NAT Fallback feature is not enabled.

Related image, diagram or screenshot

Technical Tip

NAT Fallback feature is not supported today on IOS-XE SD-WAN WAN Edge devices. Note, regardless of whether the feature is enabled or not, the saved policy will still contain the fallback tab.

When the Fallback tab points to neither True/False, it means the tab is not enabled. When the feature is enabled, Fallback is set to True, as shown in the example figure below.

Related image, diagram or screenshot

 

Based on your requirement, add in additional sequence rules within the traffic policy. In this policy, applications matched under SAAS_Application include Gmail, Office 365 and Facebook. Note, you can also enable local Internet breakout from the remote site by configuring a NAT DIA route to redirect traffic from service-side VPN to global, or NAT enabled transport VPN 0 Interface. For the step-by-step procedure to build NAT DIA route or centralized data policy, refer to Cisco SD-WAN: Enabling Direct Internet Access.

Technical tip

Due to First Packet Match (FPM), some application traffic may not be routed by the NAT DIA data policy, as it requires a number of packets to go through, before an application is matched.

 

In this guide, both the app-visibility and flow-visibility policy was enabled.

 app-visibility                                                                     

 flow-visibility

 

Technical tip

If you are deploying centralized data policy to enable DIA within the remote-site and also plan to configure umbrella Integration via the DNS/Web-layer security policy with target VPN as a service-side VPN, then the DNS Server IP address on the host machine must point to one of the IP addresses on the Edge device belonging to an interface which is part of the same VRF that umbrella belongs to.  For instance, if the Target VPN in DNS/Web-layer Security (Umbrella integration) is configured as VPN 1 and an Interface within VPN 1 is configured as 10.1.1.1, then the DNS Server IP address on the host machine must be configured as 10.1.1.1.  To use your local DNS server on the host/ client machine and still enable DIA and Umbrella integration on the WAN Edge router, then enable IP NAT route on the WAN Edge device and skip configuring centralized data policy.  For the step-by-step procedures to build the NAT DIA route or centralized data policy, refer to Cisco SD-WAN: Enabling Direct Internet Access.

 

Cause: Within the Data policy, nat-vpn0 action bypasses umbrella integration. The centralized data policy kicks in before the Umbrella redirection.

Process 3: Upload Software Virtual Image to Enable Snort

If you plan to deploy security features such as Intrusion Prevention/ Detection System (IPS/IDS), Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) or URL Filtering within the remote-site WAN Edge device, then begin by downloading the UTD Engine TAR file from the Cisco website to enable these features. Make sure to upload the downloaded TAR file to your vManage software repository prior to building the security policy.

Once the configured security policy is deployed in a WAN Edge router, then the TAR file is automatically downloaded from the vManage repository into the WAN Edge device to enable the required virtual services (IPS/ AMP/ URL Filtering).

Step 1.     Upload the correct Cisco security virtual image (UTD Engine TAR File) to vManage. To make sure a compatible image is downloaded from the Cisco website, login to vManage GUI and navigate to Monitor > Network.

When the security policy is activated, the UTD image is automatically downloaded from the vManage virtual images software repository into the device’s flash drive over a control plane connection.

Technical Tip

To delete the software image from your vManage software repository, select the software image, click on the three dots - More actions icon and click Delete. Also, note the UTD image can be upgraded via vManage to a later code as long as the latest code is uploaded to the Software Repository.

Process 4: (Optional) Create a Security App Hosting Profile Template

As explained in the design section on attaching a configured IPS/ AMP/ URL security policy within the device template, a sub-template titled Container Profile must be added. The container profile template allows you to enable/disable NAT for your virtual services (IPS/ AMP/ URL Security) and allocate resources for the virtual services.

The container profile template contains:

     Resource Profile that is set to Default, which allocates one core.  For higher throughput, you may set the resource profile to High, which allocates two cores.

     NAT functionality can be enabled if virtual services must go out to the Internet for manual signature updates or if there is a need to send syslog’s to an external syslog server that is not necessarily in the Data Center.

Note: If you do not wish to alter the values, skip building the template and use the default Security App Hosting Profile template wherein NAT is by default turned ON and the Resource Profile is set to Default.

To create a new template, proceed to the steps below,

Step 1.     Navigate to Configuration > Templates.

Step 7.     Click on Advanced tab, to whitelist signatures within Signature Whitelist and set the Alerts Log Level.

Signatures are whitelisted to reduce the number of false positives i.e. to reduce the chance of a non-harmful file being detected as a malware.

The signature whitelist format on vManage is Generator Identifiers (GID): Signature Identifiers (SID).  For additional information on whitelisting signatures refer to the Security Policy for Cisco IOS-XE SD-WAN Devices Design Guide.

Related image, diagram or screenshot

 

Technical Tip

One of the methods to find the GID and SID associated with a given signature rule in a signature set prior to deploying IPS functionality on the remote-site WAN Edge router, is to download the signature package from Cisco Software Central and then rename the downloaded file format from .pkg to .tar. Next, extract the renamed TAR file twice and click on the Rules folder contained in the unzipped file to view the signature rules associated with the signature sets. Within each signature rule, you can look for Signature ID (SID) and Generator ID (GID) associated with the Signatures to be whitelisted. The other is to copy SID’s and GID’s from the generated alert logs or to download the .pkg file into the edge devices flash drive, then enter command utd threat-inspection signature active-list write-to bootflash:<filename.txt> threat-inspection profile <ips profile>.

 

Note: You can also choose to import whitelisted signatures, by clicking on the Import button to retrieve file a from an accessible storage.
