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 Resilience 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.
