Firewall Configuration Assessment

Our firewall assessment combines automated tools with experienced experts’ manual reviews to build true, in-depth protection for client systems.

Our firewall configuration assessment aims to thoroughly identify misconfigurations, weaknesses, and exploitable rules. We don’t stop at automated port scans and configuration checks; experienced experts manually review results to uncover hidden issues and fine-tuning deviations.

We deliver not just volume-based insights but high-quality, detailed analysis of firewall settings, identifying internal gaps attackers could exploit and providing recommendations to strengthen real-world protection.

Process

Port Scan Protection

We verify the firewall effectively blocks unwanted TCP/UDP ports and minimizes attack surface.

Admin Interface Security

We check that management interfaces are not externally accessible and are properly secured.

Malicious Content Filtering

We test the firewall’s ability to block malicious code, files, and protocols.

Logging & Alerting

We evaluate log settings to ensure the system records sufficient data and sends alerts for critical events.

Patch Level

We check that the firewall software is up to date with the latest security patches.

Rule Optimization

We review the rule set to remove redundant, overlapping rules and assess high-risk entries.

Required Data for Assessment

Read-only access to the device (if possible) to prevent disruption during testing.

A full export of the configuration to enable detailed manual analysis.

Detailed Analysis & Recommendations

Our process includes the following steps:

Review Settings

Examine firewall configuration, obtain necessary permissions, and map primary rules.

Automated & Manual Analysis

Combine automated port scans, access control, logging checks with expert manual review to uncover complex issues.

Identify Risks

Analyze collected data to rank configuration gaps and potential attack vectors.

Reporting & Recommendations

Deliver a comprehensive report with detailed findings and actionable remediation recommendations to support strategic defense planning.

This combined manual and automated approach not only uncovers surface-level issues but provides deep insights into hidden firewall configuration weaknesses, enabling clients to build real, strategic protection against attacks.
