Want to become an ISA Firewall Ninja? The ISA Firewall "go to" guy who shows the "hardware" guys "what the time is" when it comes to actually securing your corporate network? If so, then you need to attend Tim Mullen's (aka, Thor) ISA Ninjitsu: Designing, Building and Maintaining Enterprise Firewall
Training presented by Timothy Mullen, Microsoft Windows Security MVP with special guest Jim Harrison from the Microsoft ISA Server Sustained Engineering Team. Supplemental course and technical materials provided by Dr
Learn to secure and separate your 802.1x wireless infrastructure using Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004. This webcast provides an overview of wireless protocols such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and 802.1x networking standards. We also discuss the relationships among Certificate Services, ISA Server, remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS), and group policies
Jim Harrison and Chris Gregory, both from Microsoft, have a great ISA firewall talk and demonstration scheduled for Friday morning, 9:00AM Eastern Time. What’s unique about their presentation is that it’s all about audience participation. They’ll show you how to configure a Wireless DMZ so that you segment wireless clients from the rest of the network, and they’ll be using WPAv2 with certificate authentication

In part 1 of this two part series on how to create an untrusted wireless DMZ segment on the ISA firewall, we discussed the basic infrastructure elements required to make the solution work. We then went into detail on how to create a split DNS infrastructure to support the wireless DMZ segment. In this, part 2 of the two part series, we’ll finish up by going over the ISA firewall configuration details to complete the solution.
The new ISA firewall’s enhanced support for directly attached DMZs has led to a lot of questions on how to allow intradomain communications through the ISA firewall from one network to another. This is a great question because you can now create multiple directly attached perimeter networks and allow controlled access to and from those perimeter networks. You can now safely put domain member machines on these DMZ segments to support a variety of new scenarios, such as dedicated network services segments that enforce domain segmentation. This article shows you have to create an Access Rule that allows the required protocols through the ISA firewall.
Are you forced to put the ISA firewall in a DMZ segment of your conventional stateful filtering firewall? Firewall politics getting you down? Don't worry! Even if they won't let you use the full firewall power of the ISA firewall, you can still squeeze out some significant stateful application layer inspection by using the unihomed ISA firewall in the "hardware" firewall's DMZ segment. This article has all the step by step info you need to get the job done.
In the first part of this series on DMZ networking with ISA firewalls (ISA 2004), we discussed the DMZ concept and the differences between a typical DMZ segment and a perimeter network segment. Included in the discussion was a description of a four NIC setup on the ISA firewall, where one NIC was attached to an external network, the second NIC was attached to the Internal network, the third NIC was attached to a DMZ segment and the fourth NIC was attached to a perimeter network segment. In this article we will look at the details of creating and configuring the DMZ and perimeter network segments.
The ISA 2004 firewall (ISA firewall) makes it easy to create multiple DMZ networks directly connected to the ISA firewall. In contrast to the ISA Server 2000 firewall, where you had a simple networking model of "internal versus external", the ISA firewall’s new multinetworking feature allows you to configure multiple network types, and create Access Rules and routing rules between those networks. The new ISA firewall’s networking capabilities put it on par with just about any other network firewall on the market today. There are many possible DMZ networking topologies you can create with the ISA firewall. One topology that has worked very well for us is shown in the figure below. The ISA firewall DMZ configuration includes two ISA firewalls and four security zones.
This article describes how to publish a public address DMZ host using Access Rules. This method allows you to use the public addresses your servers have already been using and leverage the full stateful application layer filtering power of the ISA Server 2004 firewall. Unlike traditional packet filter based firewalls (PIX, Netscreen, SonicWall, etc.), the ISA Server 2004 firewall performs stateful filtering and stateful application layer inspection on all communications moving through the firewall. Check out this article for a full discussion and step by step details on how ISA 2004 firewalls accomplish this amazing feat!
In this document, we will go over detailed procedures required to configure Microsoft Exchange Servers and the ISA Server 2004 firewall to support the front-end Exchange Server on a trihomed DMZ segment and the back-end Exchange Server on the Internal network. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so get started now and you'll be done by the end of the week!

In the first part of this article series, we will cover how to allow Inbound L2TP/IPSec NAT Traversal Connections through a Back to Back ISA Server Firewall DMZ.
This tutorial will go over how to configure a spam appliance or server in the DMZ on an ISA Server 2004 Firewall. The product that will be shown in this example is the Barracuda Spam Firewall model 300 built by Barracuda Networks.
In this, part 4 of our continuing series on back to back ISA firewall configuration, we will examine how you can publish the DMZ Web server and pre-authenticate the connection at the front-end ISA firewall using RADIUS authentication.
In this, part 1 of a four part article series on configuring a back to back ISA firewall solution with a domain member in the DMZ segment, we will discuss concepts in DMZ and perimeter network design.
Over the years there have been a number of questions about how to configure the ISA firewall in a “hardware” firewall’s “DMZ”. I have to admit that this question never made much sense to me, since I couldn’t figure out why the fledgling ISA firewall admin would want to create such a configuration. It seemed to be a simple affair to place the ISA firewall either in parallel or in a back to back configuration with the “hardware” firewall in front of the ISA firewall, allowing the ISA firewall to provide its superior level of protection nearest to the protected resources.
In this, part 6 and the last part of my series on how to create multiple security perimeters using ISA firewalls, we’ll finish up by covering the following topics:
Create the Server Publishing Rule allowing inbound SMTP from the anonymous DMZ SMTP Server to the back-end Exchange Server; Create the Server Publishing Rule allowing Secure Exchange RPC Communications to the Back-end Exchange Server; Create the Outbound Access Rules
In this, part 4 of the series, we’ll continue configure the ISA firewall with Web Publishing Rules to allow incoming connections to the front-end Exchange Server’s Web sites.
