VPN assessment

If your business runs a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to allow remote users to connect to the network, there is a risk that outside threats could use it as an entry point into your internal network.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) assessments provide an assurance of the integrity and confidentiality of a net.work, implied by their presence and use. It is imperative that confidence in the security infrastructure is not impaired by an extension of the trust boundaries outside the organisation’s physical perimeter.

In a VPN implementation, remote systems are provided with a secure route for internal network access. Potentially, such access is obtained from physically insecure locations.

This network presence; coupled with potential flaws in authentication mechanisms, implementation framework or configuration state; could result in the compromise of network boundaries from an external VPN endpoint. Such a compromise may lead to the VPN becoming a conduit for an attack on the organisation’s internal network infrastructure.

Why perform a VPN assessment?

To identify firewal configuration vulnerabilities, determines if there are any vulnerabilities inherent in the network devices and highlights general issues with the architecture.
To verify the security of both, your SL based VPN and your IPsec based VPN.
To verify that you have end-to-end security and not just an encryted tunnel.
