Network Vulnerability Assessment

We all know that vulnerability assessment is one important part of network assessment.  In this article, we will discuss network vulnerability assessment and introduce an automated network assessment tool which will improve your productivity significantly for you.

A network vulnerability assessment provides a number of important data points about your network infrastructure and its ability to withstand or prevent external attacks and protect sensitive data.

Some of the elements that a vulnerability assessment will cover include:

• Discovery of L2/L3 topology and routing

• VLAN, firewall and DMZ configurations

• Configuration and consistency of access control lists

• Open ports on exposed interfaces

• Source and destination of traffic

• Internal and external traffic flows

• VPN and wireless security

• SNMP/Telnet/SSH credentials 

Vulnerability assessments are critical to revealing any holes in the security of your organization's network and ensuring that all systems are properly hardened against any type of attack.

Both Network Readiness and Vulnerability Assessments are a valuable mechanism to ensure compliance not only with your own internal standards, but also to support legislative regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II and HIPPA, as well as other industry standards such as; PCI-DSS.

Most of the subjects covered so far in this whitepaper have provided an overview of assessment and discussed the current manual approach used to conduct an assessment.

Is there any tool that can automate network vulnerability assesssement? We recommend NetBrain Architect Edition for you .NetBrain Architect Edition is a state-of-the-art solution that brings a high level of automation to network assessment and network design. For example, NetBrain Architect Edition can simulate any network design and configuration changes and conduct a what-if analysis to understand all the available choices and variations of the network changes and can validate and verify any network changes against the operational network to ensure that there are no impacts to stability before implementation.
