Pentura launches new Firewall Risk Assessment

Pentura, a leading IT security consultancy and the UK’s first Risk Management Service Provider, has today launched a new firewall security risk assessment.  Pentura’s Firewall Risk Assessment will audit and analyse router and firewall configuration to ensure the highest level of protection is achieved and to identify any system vulnerabilities.

The Firewall Risk Assessment provides corporate security managers with a detailed report of the threats to corporate security, ranking and prioritising the dangers to business critical assets based on system vulnerabilities.  The risk assessment also exposes complex firewall configurations that lead to security risks being hidden within firewall rules and highlights duplicated, disabled, unused or expired rules in order to increase the performance and speed of firewall security.

Steve SmithSteve Smith, managing director of Pentura comments, “Monitoring and updating firewall security is crucial in helping organisations remain well protected from IT threats.  The Firewall Risk Assessment offers a powerful auditing and analysis tool to identify the risks facing any organisation and the steps that need to be taken to eliminate each risk.  By offering a granular level of visibility into firewall and router configurations, enterprise customers can enhance their level of security, increase operational efficiency, and maintain compliance with corporate policies and regulatory requirements.”
