Best Firewall Security services in India

Firewall configuration matters in security

Firewall configuration is an essential component of network security. At INVESICS, we specialize in firewall testing to ensure that it can effectively protect against modern threats. Our testing process identifies unique security exposures and provides solutions to prevent exploitation by attackers.

By testing and identifying vulnerabilities in the firewall, we can proactively address them before they can be exploited by malicious actors. A well-configured firewall enables authorized users to access inbound and outbound data while blocking unauthorized users.

Additionally, a properly configured firewall can block IP addresses based on specific parameters, such as too many links, failed login attempts, and port scans. These measures help prevent malicious activities from infiltrating the network.

Recent research by Gartner has found that 99% of firewall breaches in the coming years will be the result of misconfigurations. This highlights the critical importance of proper firewall configuration to maintain network security. Common misconfigurations include:

• ‎Compliance violations
• Broad policy configuration ‎
• ‎Risky rogue services
• ‎Non-standard authentication mechanisms
• ‎Log outputs from security devices

These mistakes can leave your network vulnerable to attack, and the consequences can be severe.

At INVESICS, we understand the risks associated with misconfigured firewalls. Our team of security experts can help you avoid these common mistakes and keep your network secure. Trust us to provide comprehensive firewall configuration services to ensure that your network is protected from potential breaches.

Don't leave your network security to chance. Contact INVESICS today to learn more about our comprehensive network security solutions.

Goal: At Invesics, our security testing procedures aim to assess the security of your network by identifying the likelihood of remote access from an external location.

Approach: Our experienced security experts use actual network intruder techniques to attempt to hack into your firewall device from an external location, typically the internet. We employ tools like NMAP and TCPDUMP to perform thorough testing. After the testing is complete, we generate a detailed report.

Retest: We explain the report to our clients and provide them with retesting options if necessary. Invesics also offers post-retest consulting to ensure customer satisfaction. The organization's most pressing ‎need is customer satisfaction.‎

Phase 1: Indirect Information Gathering - involves gathering information from outside the network to identify potential vulnerabilities.

Phase 2: Direct Information Gathering - involves gathering information from inside the network to further identify vulnerabilities and establish a baseline.

Phase 3: External Penetration Testing - involves attempting to penetrate the firewall from outside the network to identify potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Phase 4: Internal Penetration Testing - involves attempting to penetrate the firewall from inside the network to identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited by internal actors or attackers who have gained access to the network.

Firewall testing is a crucial aspect of network security, and a firewall tester must answer several essential questions, such as:

• Does the firewall accurately enforce the organization's firewall policy?
• Do the firewall and other network components effectively enforce the organization's security policy?
• How well do the firewall and other network components defend against externally initiated attacks?
• How secure is the network's perimeter, and is there any leakage or access route that bypasses the firewall's defenses?
• How much information about the network is accessible from outside, and is it adequately protected?
• Do the firewall and other machines generate alarms when attacks are launched, and how effective are they in detecting and preventing attacks?

Answering these questions through rigorous testing helps identify potential vulnerabilities and ensures that the firewall is operating correctly.

• Default features will not cover all the areas of attack.‎
• The limits in the settings may not be relevant for getting maximum performance ‎either they are too low or very high values, we need to analyze the server usage ‎and optimize it to get maximum performance.‎
• Alerts are either disabled or enabled all alerts. We need to configure it to send ‎necessary alerts only.‎
• ‎Number of blocking IP’s may be very less to avoid consuming resources by the firewall. ‎But in big shared servers, a high number of blocks needed.‎
