Firewall Security & VPN Assessment
Firewall Security Test
A firewall security test is a detailed analysis of a firewall that has been implemented to protect a client’s information, applications, systems and overall business operations. A firewall security test examines vulnerabilities associated with a specific vendor’s solution, susceptibility of the firewall to focused connection and information driven attacks and exploits, and miss-configurations that allow an attacker to overcome specific firewall protection.
7safe assesses firewall rule-set configurations and implementations from a number of vendors including:
- CISCO
- Checkpoint
- Juniper / Netscreen
- WatchGuard
- Sonicwall
VPN Assessment
VPNs are clearly an integral part of every organisation for the provision of secure remote / site-to-site connectivity. Secure VPNs use cryptographic tunnelling protocols to provide the intended confidentiality, sender authentication, and message integrity to achieve privacy. 7Safe assesses the security of corporate VPNs against these flaws in conjunction with firewall integration if necessary or focuses on the end appliance (concentrator) where deployed. 7Safe currently assesses the following types of VPNs:
- IPSEC
- PPTP
- SSL
