Network Device Security Review

Ensure that your Firewall is providing the level of protection that you expect with a thorough RandomStorm Firewall Rule Set Review

Network Device Security Review

The network devices that make up your network are an integral and critical part of your infrastructure.

The default configuration of these devices can often lead to vulnerabilities that can be exploited by potential attackers in order to gain a more privileged level of access to your network and resources.

RandomStorm employ a team of network security specialists up to Cisco CCIE level who can perform very in-depth configuration and security reviews of all network devices.

These reviews focus on the exact configuration of the network devices such as switches and routers and can provide a great insight into the security of the configuration of such devices.

Network Device Security Review – Methodology

The methodology employed for RandomStorm network device reviews has been built from years of industry experience in performing network device reviews.

The assessment is divided into five steps.

These five steps are:

  • Client brief
  • Configuration parsing for supported devices
  • Configuration analysis
  • Report creation
  • Report presentation
  • Client Brief

    The customer provides the configuration files for the network devices to be reviewed and a completion date for the report is agreed.

    Configuration Parsing

    The consultant parses the configuration to extract the required information from the configuration appertaining to generic device security issues.

Configuration Analysis

The consultant takes the parsed information and compares it to industry best practices for the device configuration.

Report Creation

The consultant creates an in-depth report focussing on providing business needs driven solutions to any issues identified. The report consists of a comprehensive PDF written report and a separate presentation containing the key messages identified during the assessment.

Report Presentation

The written PDF report and presentation are securely delivered to the customer. The consultant is available to answer any questions that the customer may have regarding the security review.

It may be necessary for the customer to request a follow up assessment after a given time period in order for the effectiveness of the remediation to be assessed.
