Firewall Security Review
Secure Access Through Effective Firewall Management
Firewalls are a critical component of any effective security architecture, they evolve to meet continually changing threats and are complex systems that require specialist skills to architect, install, and manage effectively over many years of service.
During a firewall’s operational lifetime the associated rules and policies can proliferate rapidly, orphaned or unused rules and duplicated policies accumulate, legacy and unwanted protocols might be being used. All of which potentially cause unintended conflicts, unexpected behaviour, traffic bottlenecks, and increase the organisation’s attack surface.
Regular firewall security reviews and optimisation efforts are necessary to streamlines rulesets and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities, ensuring that firewalls continue to meet the organisation’s security requirements, compliance objectives, and ultimately reduce the level of risk that the organisation is exposed to.
Kaon Security have a pragmatic technical approach and ensure any issues that are found during the engagement are communicated in an efficient manner so that our customers can undertake appropriate mitigation work.
