What is a network security assessment?

A network security assessment evaluates how your network is exposed and where controls are weak. For network devices, that means validating the configurations that enforce segmentation, routing, and access. Nipper InfraSight assesses exported device configurations to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and control gaps with prioritized findings and remediation guidance.

Why assess configs, not only scan?

Scans can miss weaknesses where exposure depends on rules, access paths, or device settings. Configuration analysis helps you validate what the device is configured to allow, not just what responds to a probe. Nipper InfraSight focuses on routers, switches, and firewalls. It finds misconfigurations, conflicts, and gaps that scanners and policy tools may miss.

How does Nipper InfraSight support vulnerability management?

It strengthens vulnerability management by adding configuration-based findings for network devices. This helps teams prioritize fixes based on exploit risk and exposure, not CVE lists alone. Practitioners get device-level evidence and guidance; decision-makers get clearer reporting on risk reduction and remediation progress.

What is included in compliance assessment?

Compliance assessment reporting depends on tier. The Compliance tier of Nipper InfraSight and the Air Gapped tier add structured reports supporting audit preparation with repeatable evidence. These reports align with controls and map to major frameworks. These include NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, PCI DSS 4.0, and CMMC.

Can Nipper InfraSight work in air-gapped networks?

Yes. The Air Gapped tier of Nipper InfraSight is designed for offline and restricted environments where cloud analysis, credentialed scanning, or active probing are restricted or prohibited. It provides the full Nipper InfraSight capability set while keeping assessment workflows aligned to strict data-handling requirements.

Nipper InfraSight

Network security teams must reduce exposure and prove controls are effective across the routers, switches, and firewalls that enforce access and segmentation. But scanners, NDR, and policy automation don’t validate configuration logic end-to-end or show what’s truly enforceable. Nipper InfraSight assesses exported configurations to produce point-in-time evidence you can act on – so you can prioritize vulnerability remediation, verify hardening against a baseline, and generate audit-ready compliance evidence. It works in environments where credentials and active probing add risk.

Risk-based vulnerability management

Run point-in-time, configuration-based assessments on routers, switches, and firewalls. Prioritize remediation by risk and prove vulnerability mitigation with evidence.

Network hardening you can prove

Validate device hardening against your baseline configuration using exported configs. Get prioritized findings, device-specific remediation, and evidence-ready reporting. No scanning or touching live systems required.

Compliance assessment for audit-ready evidence

Review exported device configurations offline and create control-mapped, pass / fail evidence for audit, GRC, and security teams. Support regulated and air-gapped environments without direct device access or bandwidth impact.

Export device configurations

Export configs from routers, switches, firewalls, and supported devices as close to assessment time as possible.

Build a behavior-based virtual model

Nipper InfraSight builds a behavior-based model from the configuration to reflect how the device will behave.

Test for exploitable conditions and gaps

Apply best-practice audits and vendor guidance checks to identify misconfigurations, gaps, and vulnerabilities attackers exploit.

Remediate and verify

Use prioritized findings and device-specific guidance, then re-run assessments to verify fixes and produce evidence.

Network device specialization

Focused on routers, switches, firewalls and wireless access points, with device-specific security checks.

Behavior-based virtual modeling

Builds a behavior-based model from configs to identify reachable exposure and segmentation gaps.

Accurate, defensible results

Deterministic configuration analysis delivers repeatable findings with fewer false positives.

No credentials, no disruption

Works from exported configs with no credentialed access and no changes to live devices.

Built for high-assurance environments

Use the Air Gapped tier of Nipper InfraSight for offline operation in restricted networks.

Helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure

“One of the key strengths is its ability to map configuration findings against compliance frameworks and security best practices. The reporting is structured, audit-friendly, and helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure. The risk-based prioritization is particularly valuable, as it allows us to focus remediation efforts on high-impact issues.”
