How a system is configured, used and managed has a more profound impact on its security than the underlying technology.

For fifteen years, that statement has defined Anitian’s security efforts. Anitian believes configuration, use and management are fundamentally more important than the technologies ultimately selected. Anitian’s Firewall Policy Assessment is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of each client’s firewall configuration.

Anitian's Firewall Policy Assessment includes:

• Architecture design assessment
  Review the placement of firewalls in the network architecture.
• Technology evaluation
  Review the specific firewall technologies in use and determine if they are optimally configured and updated to the latest firmware or software revisions.
• Policy evaluation
  Review policies for obvious weaknesses, such as overly generic rules or excessive permissiveness.
• Risk analysis
  Analyze the risks associated to particular policies. For example, allowing unlimited outbound access to SSH could allow users to create encrypted backdoors out of the network.
• Policy testing
  Run scans to test the effectiveness of firewall policies.

Anitian delivers a comprehensive report describing any vulnerabilities or risks and providing detailed corrective actions.
