Routers and switches are the backbone of your network. However, misconfigurations, outdated firmware, and weak security settings can expose your business to cyber threats. A router & switch configuration audit helps identify security gaps, misconfigurations, and compliance violations, ensuring your network is secure, optimized, and resilient against cyberattacks.
Our Audit Process
1. Security Best Practices Review
We analyze router and switch configurations based on industry-standard security guidelines like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, and ISO 27001.
✅ Access Control & Authentication – Checking user privileges, disabling unused accounts, and enforcing AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting).
✅ Password Security – Verifying strong password policies and encryption for stored credentials.
✅ Firmware & Patch Management – Ensuring devices are running the latest secure firmware versions.
✅ Unused Services & Ports – Identifying and disabling unnecessary protocols like Telnet, HTTP, and SNMPv1/2.
2. Network Segmentation & Traffic Filtering
We assess how well your routers and switches segment and protect sensitive traffic.
✅ VLAN Configuration Review – Checking proper VLAN segmentation to prevent lateral movement.
✅ Access Control Lists (ACLs) & Firewall Rules – Ensuring restrictive, well-defined rules for inbound/outbound traffic.
✅ DMZ & External Exposure Analysis – Reviewing public-facing services for security risks.
3. Logging, Monitoring, and Incident Response
A well-monitored network is key to detecting threats early.
✅ Syslog & Logging Configuration – Ensuring logs are centralized, encrypted, and properly stored.
✅ SNMP & Network Monitoring Review – Verifying secure SNMPv3 configurations for safe monitoring.
✅ Anomaly Detection & Alerts – Checking for proper alerting mechanisms in case of suspicious activity.
