Configuration security & compliance at scale

Zero Trust Network Segmentation

Continuously verify that networks are adequately segmented

Zero Trust (ZT) assumes a hostile environment, where networks have been breached and are under attack. It’s why preventing lateral movement (with deny all/permit by exception configurations) inside the perimeter - where 80% of network traffic exists - is considered a ‘baseline protection’ for ZT. And why secure routers and switches are as fundamental to ZT segmentation, as firewalls are.

Zero Trust Segmentation is critical in attack prevention and prevention of attack proliferation – reducing the attack surface, containerizing the threat and preventing unwanted privilege escalation & lateral movement.

Nipper and Nipper Enterprise automate the accurate assessments of router, switch and firewall security and compliance, enabling organizations to validate that their network infrastructure is effectively segmented.

ICON - Zero Trust Network Segmentation - Enterprise

Continuously assure ZT segmentation

Assure networks are effectively segmented with advanced contextualization of device settings to detect misconfigurations that allow unauthorized access to critical data and systems.

ICON - Attack Surface Management Assurance - Enterprise

Minimize attack surface

View and remediate misconfigurations through an attacker’s lens to help prevent incidents, respond to the most critical ones first, and analyze levels of compromise.

ICON - Compromise Non-Compliance - Enterprise

Prioritize findings by risk

Protect networks from the inside-out, with risk-prioritized misconfiguration findings and mitigating advice to inform remediation workflows and prevent lateral movement.

Configuration Security Fundamentals

Stopping configuration drift before it compromises.

Federal agencies face several challenges as they transition towards Zero Trust. Recent research highlights the current approach to configuration security is a major one.
