Firewall Penetration Tests

Most organisations have a perimeter firewall deployed between their internal systems and the Internet. This acts as the perimeter defence, filtering out unwanted inbound connections, as well as providing VPN, DLP, IPS and content checking capabilities for the organisation. Firewalls have become much more intelligent than the stateful inspection firewalls of 5 years ago. SSL and IPSEC VPNs are terminated on them. They provide SMTP relay and HTTP proxying capabilities and they provide comprehensive Data Loss Prevention filtering. With these new capabilities come increased risk, threat and potential exposure.

Nettitude provides comprehensive Firewall Penetration Testing Services. We are able to assess the rulebase, the published services, and the in-built security daemons. We are able to assess your Anti Spoofing rules, the Network Address Translation Rules, the Security Logic and the underlying Networking fabric.

In addition to carrying out Firewall Penetration Testing services, Nettitude also undertakes comprehensive Firewall Security reviews. This involves auditing the rulebase against industry best practice. Nettitude is a Cisco Advanced Security Partner, a Checkpoint Collaborative Support partner and a Juniper J-Partner. As well as understanding how to penetrate a perimeter firewall, our consultants also have experience in rolling out Firewalling logic in new deployments. This gives us the unique perspective of both poacher and gamekeeper, and ensures that are assessments are some of the most rigorous within the industry.
