Inspecting FTPs traffic

in flag
Linz

I have researched the possibility for securing / inspecting FTPs traffic with a sandbox to do malware filtering.

There are a lot of vendors offering WAFs (Fortinet, Cloudflare, Check Point, and so on) for HTTPs-Services, but I could not find any vendor, that offers the inspection of FTPs services.

Is there any advice how to secure a internal FTPs-Server beside Layer-4 filtering from a firewall perimeter firewall?

Thanks and best regards

Unlike web browsers most, if not all, tools that support FTPs will only copy data, they do not provide the integrated execution environment that makes web browsers vulnerable. Files, executables, scripts etc. that are copied with FTPs are not automatically started. In that regard the security risk and threat perspective FTPs is much lower. Rather than inspecting the connection you generally secure that data by running anti-virus software on desktops and on the servers in "on access" mode for all newly uploaded/downloaded files and you don't do so in a firewall.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
