Firewall Assessment

A firewall is still one of the most important parts of network protection. Often seen as the first line of defense against attacks, firewalls must be implemented appropriately, maintained properly, and assessed regularly. Often times, temporary rules, acquired devices, or improper administration can lead to an inadequate rule base and security vulnerabilities.

BTB Security's Firewall Assessment service is designed to address these concerns, with a detailed analysis that reduces risks and increases security between defined security zones. BTB Security can review the firewall and make recommendations for improvement. Several items included as part of this assessment include:

• Common configuration issues
• Rule-set configuration (ingress and egress across network boundaries)
• Static and dynamic NAT translations
• Segmentation (e.g., DMZ, internal security zones) of the networks protected by firewalls
• High availability and fail-over capabilities
