AB  - Geographically distributed and heterogeneous networks like 
  internet with millions of entry points, users and transmission paths, depict 
  a typical insecure network. The points where an organization’s 
  private network interfaces with the internet are vulnerable to potential security 
  attacks. Almost all organizations take care to protect their networks through 
  firewalls, proxy servers and the like but recently even these so called secure 
  networks are being subjected to numerous intrusions. The logs generated by the 
  firewalls are so huge that it is even more difficult to find the source of attack 
  in the event of a security breach. In this study, researchers present a progressive 
  approach to strengthen the security of a private network beginning from the 
  server level till the gateway interface to the internet. Routers in front of 
  the firewall can be configured using context based access control in order to 
  perform an initial security screening. Further, the design of a log analyser 
  is discussed which details the process of collecting and analysing logs from 
  firewalls and application gateways, in an efficient and less time consuming 
  manner.
