CLI: Example for Configuring Cloud Access Security Awareness

Cloud access security awareness can be configured on enterprises' security gateways to control enterprise cloud applications in a refined and differentiated manner.

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, the FW serves as the enterprise egress gateway. Employees are classified into R&D employees and marketing ones. User groups research and marketing are created for R&D and marketing employees, respectively, and the authentication configuration is complete. Cloud access security awareness must be configured on the FW to control the use of enterprise cloud application DingTalk:

  • R&D employees can use DingTalk for instant messaging but cannot transfer files or browsing, preventing disclosure of key information.

  • Marketing employees can use DingTalk for instant messaging and browsing but cannot transfer files.

Description

Cloud access security awareness profile

  • Name: profile_casa_research

  • Control item: Allow instant messaging but block file transfer or browsing.

To control the use of enterprise cloud application DingTalk by R&D employees.

  • Name: profile_casa_marketing

  • Control item: Allow instant messaging and browsing but block file transfer.

To control the use of enterprise cloud application DingTalk by marketing employees.

Security policy

  • Name: policy_sec_research

  • Source zone: trust

  • Destination zone: untrust

  • Employee: research (R&D user group)

  • Action: permit

  • Cloud Access Security Awareness: profile_casa_research

Allow R&D employees to access the Internet and reference the cloud access security awareness profile profile_casa_research to control the use of enterprise cloud application DingTalk by R&D employees.

  • Name: policy_sec_marketing

  • Source zone: trust

  • Destination zone: untrust

  • Employee: marketing (marketing user group)

  • Action: permit

  • Cloud Access Security Awareness: profile_casa_marketing

Allow marketing employees to access the Internet and reference the cloud access security awareness profile profile_casa_marketing to control the use of enterprise cloud application DingTalk by marketing employees.

Procedure

  1. Set the IP address and security zone of the interface.
    1. Set an IP address for interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and assign the interface to the untrust zone.

      <FW> system-view
      [FW] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
      [FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] ip address 1.1.1.1 24
      [FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
      [FW] firewall zone untrust
      [FW-zone-untrust] add interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
      [FW-zone-untrust] quit
      

    2. Set an IP address for interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/3 and add the interface to the trust zone.

      [FW] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/3
      [FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] ip address 10.3.1.1 24
      [FW-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] quit
      [FW] firewall zone trust
      [FW-zone-trust] add interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/3
      [FW-zone-trust] quit
      

  2. Create cloud access security awareness profiles profile_casa_research for R&D employees and profile_casa_marketing for marketing employees.
    1. Create cloud access security awareness profile profile_casa_research for R&D employees.

      [FW] profile type casa name profile_casa_research
      [FW-profile-casa-profile_casa_research] application name DingTalk_FileTransfer action block
      [FW-profile-casa-profile_casa_research] application name DingTalk_Browsing action block
      [FW-profile-casa-profile_casa_research] quit
      

    2. Create cloud access security awareness profile profile_casa_marketing for marketing employees.

      [FW] profile type casa name profile_casa_marketing
      [FW-profile-casa-profile_casa_marketing] application name DingTalk_FileTransfer action block
      [FW-profile-casa-profile_casa_marketing] quit
      

  3. Configure security policies.
    1. Create security policy policy_sec_research and reference the user and the cloud access security awareness profile to control the use of DingTalk by R&D employees.

      [FW] security-policy
      [FW-policy-security] rule name policy_sec_research
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_research] source-zone trust
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_research] destination-zone untrust
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_research] user user-group /default/research
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_research] profile casa profile_casa_research
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_research] action permit
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_research] quit
      

    2. Create security policy policy_sec_marketing and reference the user and the cloud access security awareness profile to control the use of DingTalk by marketing employees.

      [FW-policy-security] rule name policy_sec_marketing
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_marketing] source-zone trust
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_marketing] destination-zone untrust
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_marketing] user user-group /default/marketing
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_marketing] profile casa profile_casa_marketing
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_marketing] action permit
      [FW-policy-security-rule-policy_sec_marketing] quit
      [FW-policy-security] quit
      

  4. Commit the content security profiles.

    [FW] engine configuration commit
    Info: The operation may last for several minutes, please wait.
    Info: Casa submitted configurations successfully.
    Info: Finish committing engine compiling.

Verification

After the configuration is complete, use DingTalk on an R&D employee's PC and a marketing employee's PC. If the access requests are controlled as configured, the profiles and security policies have taken effect. If not, check the configuration.
