Establishing a defendable network and automating RMF compliance

Network devices (routers, switches and firewalls) are pivotal to the security of all networks. Each device is managed through a complex configuration. Errors arising in the configuration represent critical security risks to the network, its data and applications.

This whitepaper examines how Nipper solutions provide unrivalled accuracy in configuration auditing by virtually modelling the entire configuration as a single entity to suppress irrelevant findings.

It also demonstrates how this unique approach to detecting misconfigurations is enabling elite cyber teams to prioritize remediation workflows for routers, switches and firewalls, based on risk criticality – viewed through either Nipper solution’s security and/or compliance lenses, such as NIST 800-53 or CMMC.
