CAT SIS NETWORK ACTIVATION SIS ID(2012) -- A Case Study of Successful Implementation and Usage

In a massive step forward, Caterpillar has partnered with the worldwide dealer network to create SIS 2.0. With a responsive, cloud-based design, SIS 2.0 allows you to login from any device, giving you parts and service information at your fingertips right when you need it.

A local assessment uses the default sessions.properties file. CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4's remote assessment capability can also utilize the Sessions file and requires configuration of each session type; connection parameters used to create a secure connection to the remote endpoint. A session configuration requires a number of entries, which will vary depending on the connection type. This connection is not necessary when selecting the centralized (in-network) method of assessment.

Preparing an endpoint for a remote configuration assessment is NOT needed when planning to complete a local assessment (CIS-CAT resides on the machine that is assessed) or a network / centralized assessment (CIS-CAT resides on a network share and assessed machines access it from the share). A Microsoft Windows endpoint requires primarily WinRM and SMB enabled. Depending on how the connection is made, a few more requirements are also necessary.

To better protect those users who are members of the local Administrators group, Microsoft implemented UAC restrictions on the network. This mechanism helps prevent against "loopback" attacks. This mechanism also helps prevent local malicious software from running remotely with administrative rights.

CIS-CAT Pro Assessor assesses Cisco network device targets via SSH connections. Ensure the target system can be accessed via SSH and that the user connecting to the remote target is a privileged user. When connecting to Cisco devices, CIS-CAT Pro Assessor will be configured to enter "privileged EXEC" mode, so any user connecting to the Cisco device via SSH must be granted appropriate permission to do so.

The interactive value listener.ora is utilized in the assessment process to support recommendations in section 2.1 of the CIS Oracle Database Benchmarks. The default for this value is env:ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora. If this is not the correct path to the listener.ora, then this value should be provided in the configuration XML file or from the GUI popup.

Set the CisCatPath value to the location, relative to the network share, of the installed version of CIS-CAT. For example, the value above indicates the path to CIS-CAT is \\NETWORK_SHARE\CIS\Assessor.

Set the ReportsPath value to the location, relative to the network share, of the folder to which CIS-CAT reports are written. For example, the value above indicates \\NETWORK_SHARE\CIS\Reports as the location to which reports are written.

Through the deployment and testing of the CIS-CAT Centralized workflow, bandwidth utilization can reach approximately 300 MB of data for each machine invoking CIS-CAT. This bandwidth utilization is the cost of invoking CIS-CAT over the network.

The Centralized assessment method is an in-domain or in-network configuration assessment. In cases where organizational policy restricts use of remote assessments, the centralized method may be a possible solution for configuration assessments. This method also has the benefit of allowing installation of CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4 and a suitable JRE on a network location vs. each target.

The CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4 bundle is set up at a centralized file share location (referred to as the CIS Host Server in this document) that is accessible by target computers to be assessed. Either the cis-cat-centralized.sh script or the cis-cat-centralized-ccpd.sh script is prepared on that centralized file share. The target computers then access and run the prepared centralized script to perform a local assessment over the network connection.

The setup for centralized scanning begins with creating a folder on the network file share location to use as the root of the Centralized Assessor. The below instructions have selected /cis as the root for the Centralized assessment process.

Interactions between the estrogen signaling pathway and a wide variety of other intracellular signaling molecules affect breast cancer cell sensitivity to endocrine therapy.8 Ligand-activated ERα functions as a transcription factor that interacts with a large number of coregulator proteins and other transcription factors.9, 10 Activated ERα also initiates rapid intracellular signaling through interactions with growth factor signaling molecules at the plasma membrane.4, 11, 12, 13 Interactions of ERα with other signaling molecules affect functions of growth factor-activated protein kinases.14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 The interferon-γ and the HER2/ERBB2-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways have been reported to play a pivotal role in antiestrogen resistance.21, 22, 23 These observations suggest that a highly complex network comprising many intracellular signaling molecules is involved in the development of resistance to endocrine therapy.

Because our previous study showed that expression of BIK mRNA is dependent on TP53,26 TP53 is a second-generation node (Figure 1b). TP53 also plays critical roles in DAPK1-induced cell death,30, 31 and in human breast cancers the epigenetic suppression of DAPK1 expression and mutational inactivation of TP53 occur in a mutually exclusive manner,43 supporting the notion that DAPK inactivation in breast cancers might contribute to attenuation of TP53-dependent drug actions.

Simply execute the Portmon program file (portmon.exe) and Portmonwill immediately start capturing debug output. To run Portmon onWindows 95 you must get the WinSock2update from Microsoft. Notethat if you run Portmon on Windows NT/2K portmon.exe must be locatedon a non-network drive and you must have administrative privilege.Menus, hot-keys, or toolbar buttons can be used to clear the window,save the monitored data to a file, search output, change the windowfont, and more. The on-line help describes all of Portmon's features. 2ff7e9595c
