OS Hardening
The Mediant 8000 software automatically performs “hardening” of the Operating
System on all its boards to minimize the risk of service disruption on any Mediant 8000
component by malicious user (hacker).
For SC boards, OS hardening is implemented according to the DoD IASE Security
Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIGs) and includes the following:
Unnecessary Solaris services and daemons are shut down.
Permissions on OS configuration and binary files are adjusted to prevent their
modification by malicious users.
TCP/IP stack is tuned to prevent DoS attacks (including SYN and Smurf attacks).
For the Media Gateway (TP-6310 and TP-8410) and ES boards, OS hardening is
achieved via the use of non-generic real-time OS and real-time design of the software
that implements only services that are imperative for the board's operation.
