PCI 1.2 Assessment

PCI Report Screen Capture

Security Manager will enable you to assess your firewalls against the firewall-specific requirements of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). It provides a full report outlining the measurement of your firewall policy and the security rules contained in the policy with relation to DSS requirements for zone-based service definition.

NSA Router Security Report

NSA Report Screen Capture

Routers play a key role in the infrastructure of the enterprise, and keeping them secure is a top priority. The National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States created a set of guidelines and recommendations to help IT professionals and security teams improve the security of their networks. These guidelines, available at www.nsa.gov, make up the "Router Security Configuration Guide," which addresses principles for configuring secure routers and offers specific information on Cisco routers. Beginning with Security Manager 5.1, administrators can evaluate configurations of Cisco routers for compliance with section 4.1 of the guidelines, “Router Access Security.” The NSA Router Security Report includes 24 Security Manager Extensions that can be run individually or as a single report. The report presents a pass/fail result for each guideline and offers remediation recommendations when a guideline is not met.
