Configuring ports and IP whitelisting

Within the DeltaBlue platform, users have the ability to fully configure both internal and external ports to enhance security and tailor accessibility according to specific requirements. This feature allows for comprehensive customization, enabling users to utilize common ports internally while exposing them differently to the public.

Customizable Port Configuration

The platform facilitates the customization of port configurations, enabling users to assign different external ports for accessing services that run on standard internal ports. For instance, an application may run Secure Shell (SSH) on port 22 internally, while being accessible via a distinct public port such as port 2204. This flexibility in port configuration enhances security by obfuscating the exposure of services and mitigating potential attacks directed towards the application.

Enhanced Security through IP Whitelisting

In addition to port configuration, users can further bolster security by implementing IP whitelisting rules. This functionality allows users to specify certain IP addresses or ranges that are granted access to designated services. By whitelisting trusted IP addresses, users can restrict access to authorized entities, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.

Benefits of Customization and Whitelisting

• Increased Security: Customizable port configurations and IP whitelisting provide an added layer of security, making it more challenging for malicious actors to target and exploit vulnerabilities within the application.

• Granular Access Control: Users have granular control over access permissions, allowing them to specify precisely which IP addresses are permitted to interact with designated services.

• Mitigation of Attacks: The customization of port configurations and IP whitelisting mechanisms serve to mitigate various types of attacks, including port scanning, brute force attacks, and unauthorized access attempts.

• Compliance with Security Policies: The ability to tailor port configurations and implement IP whitelisting aligns with security best practices and regulatory compliance requirements, ensuring adherence to established security policies.

In summary, the configurable port settings and IP whitelisting capabilities within the DeltaBlue platform empower users to optimize security measures, safeguarding their applications against potential threats and unauthorized access attempts.
