Network security and compliance at scale

Network Hardening

Protect your network with best practice security checks and risk prioritized results

 

Network Hardening: Routers, Switches and Firewalls

Firewalls cannot solve today's most urgent security priorities. Which is not surprising when, according to Forrester, 80% of network traffic is inside the perimeter.

The security of routers and switches, is therefore as important as firewall security. Each device is managed through a complex configuration, and misconfigurations – either accidental or deliberate – represent critical vulnerabilities that pose significant risk to the network, its data, applications and ultimately an organization’s security.

With networks changing on a daily basis, it is essential to quickly and accurately identify any misconfigured or vulnerable devices. 

Nipper and Nipper Enterprise analyze network configurations with the precision of a pentester, automating best practice security checks to assess whether configurations adhere to vendor hardening and network infrastructure hardening best practices.

Determine where networks need hardening

Automate security checks to accurately assess whether configurations adhere to vendor hardening and network infrastructure hardening best practices.

ICON - Compromise Non-Compliance - Enterprise

Prioritize findings based on risk to the network

Suppress irrelevant findings and prioritize risks by criticality; visualize the significance of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities according to CVSS, STIG, Cisco SIR, and Nipper's own trusted risk criticality rating system.
