Network Config Review & PT (NCRPT)
In-depth review of firewall rules, routing configs, and network segmentation combined with active penetration.
Executive Overview
What Is Network Config Review & PT (NCRPT)?
A strong perimeter is foundational to cybersecurity, yet misconfigurations in firewalls, routers, and switches account for a significant percentage of breaches. Our Network Configuration Review and Penetration Testing service provides a dual-layered approach. First, we conduct an exhaustive, white-box analysis of your network device configurations, analyzing rulebases for logical errors, shadow rules, and excessive permissions. Second, we perform active penetration testing from external and internal perspectives to validate whether those configurations can withstand real-world exploitation.
Capabilities
Core Features & Arsenal
Firewall Rulebase Optimization
Identifying shadow rules, overly permissive access, and legacy configurations.
Architecture & Segmentation Review
Validating network zoning, DMZ architecture, and VLAN isolation.
Active Infrastructure Penetration
Exploiting discovered misconfigurations to demonstrate actual risk.
Compliance & Best Practices
Benchmarking configurations against CIS, NIST, and vendor-specific guidelines.

Why It Matters
Business Value Delivered
Every engagement is aligned to your strategic objectives — delivering measurable risk reduction and clear ROI for your organisation.
- Eliminate configuration blind spots that vulnerability scanners cannot see.
- Enforce the principle of least privilege across complex network environments.
- Optimize firewall performance by cleaning up massive, legacy rulebases.
- Ensure robust network segmentation to prevent lateral movement during a breach.
