What is a Firewall Security Assessment and Firewall penetration testing?
Firewall security assessments and penetration testing are a form of security testing that provides a detailed review of how effectively your firewall is protecting your organization’s network from unauthorized access. Furthermore, the assessments review the configured rules to ensure the right network traffic is controlled and ensure maximum security for your network.
At Rootshell, our team of highly-trained security experts combine thorough manual testing with the latest automated tools to provide a detailed firewall review by assessing the running ‘config’ installed for any flaws. All issues are reported and, where appropriate, CVSS scores are applied within our dynamic Rootshell Platform, allowing for immediate remediation.
