Network Security Assessment Services
Find security gaps in your network before attackers do. Our assessments help you identify risks, misconfigurations, and exposures across your infrastructure.
About Service
Network Security Assessment Overview
Your network carries everything — applications, user activity, file transfers, cloud traffic, and remote access. If it’s not configured correctly or monitored, attackers can move through internal systems undetected. Misconfigured firewalls, weak rules, outdated devices, and unmonitored traffic are common entry points in many organizations.
A Network Security Assessment provides a clear picture of your vulnerabilities and how to fix them. CyberXSoft helps businesses review their internal and external networks, analyze traffic patterns, identify risky configurations, and provide practical recommendations that improve security without complicating operations.
Our goal is simple: help you understand your network clearly so you can secure it effectively.
What Our Network Security Assessment Includes
Firewall & Access Control Review
We check whether firewalls and access rules are correctly configured and aligned with your business needs.
What’s included:
- Rule review and cleanup
- Open port identification
- Internal and external access mapping
Validation of allowed services
IDS/IPS & Threat Visibility Check
We assess how well your systems detect suspicious traffic.
What’s included:
- IDS/IPS rule analysis
- Alert quality review
- Evasion risk checks
Detection gap identification
Network Device Configuration Review
Routers, switches, and access points often have overlooked vulnerabilities.
What’s included:
- Firmware and patch checks
- Weak configuration review
- Default settings or accounts detection
- Segmentation analysis
Traffic & Behavior Analysis
We study network activity to identify unusual or high-risk patterns.
What’s included:
- Traffic flow mapping
- Rogue device detection
- Anomalous behavior review
- Bandwidth or protocol misuse
External Exposure Review
We check what parts of your network are visible to the internet.
What’s included:
- Public-facing system identification
- Vulnerability findings
- SSL/TLS configuration checks
- Shadow IT detection
Summary Report & Recommendations
You get clear, simple action steps — not complex technical reports.
What’s included:
- Priority-based recommendations
- High-risk findings summary
- Quick-fix items
- Long-term improvement plan
Tools Commonly Used in Network Security Assessments
- Nmap (network scanning & exposure mapping)
- Nessus / Qualys (vulnerability checks)
- Wireshark (traffic analysis)
- OpenVAS (open-source scanner)
- Security onion stack (monitoring insights)
- Firewall vendor tools (Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco)
These tools help identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and traffic anomalies.
Real Problems Companies Face with Network Security
- Firewalls with old or unnecessary rules
- Devices using outdated firmware
- Weak segmentation between internal departments
- Remote users accessing the network without proper controls
- Unmonitored cloud and SaaS traffic
- IoT devices connected without security checks
- No visibility into internal traffic patterns
- Unknown public exposures due to misconfigured services
These gaps often remain unnoticed until a breach occurs.
Use Cases for Network Security Assessments
Before a Major Upgrade or Migration
Businesses assess their network to avoid carrying forward old vulnerabilities.
After Security Incidents
Helps verify whether attackers still have access or if underlying gaps exist.
Compliance & Certification Preparation
PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and similar standards require periodic network reviews.
Onboarding New Remote Teams
Ensures remote access setups don't expose internal systems.
Performance & Visibility Issues
When teams experience slow systems or suspicious traffic, assessments help identify root causes.
How Our Network Security Assessment Process Works
- Initial Discovery
We gather information about your network, devices, and current risks. - Scanning & Configuration Review
We check firewalls, devices, and exposures. - Traffic & Behavior Analysis
We look for unusual patterns, rogue devices, or weak configurations. - Risk Identification
Findings are evaluated based on impact and urgency. - Reporting & Discussion
You receive a clear report explaining what was found and how to fix it. - Follow-Up Support
We assist with remediation steps if needed.
Who Can Benefit From This Service?
- Organizations with expanding networks
- Businesses using cloud and on-prem systems
- Teams experiencing slow or unstable networks
- Companies preparing for compliance audits
- Organizations with remote or hybrid staff
Understand your network. Fix the gaps. Strengthen your defenses.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my network needs a security assessment?
Warning signs include slow performance, unexplained traffic spikes, login failures, outdated devices, or firewall rules that haven’t been reviewed in months. If you don’t have clear visibility into which systems are exposed or how devices communicate internally, it’s a strong indication that an assessment is overdue.
What does a network security assessment reveal that regular IT checks might miss?
Routine IT checks focus on functionality, uptime, and performance. An assessment looks deeper — misconfigurations, unnecessary open ports, weak access rules, exposed services, risky traffic patterns, and outdated firmware. These issues often remain hidden until a security-focused review is performed.
Does the assessment cover both internal and external risks?
Yes. External checks identify what attackers can see from outside, while internal reviews highlight risks inside the network, such as lateral movement paths, unmonitored devices, and weak segmentation. Both views are essential for complete visibility.
Can a network assessment help prevent ransomware attacks?
It can significantly reduce risk. Many ransomware attacks succeed due to weak access controls, exposed ports, outdated systems, and poor segmentation. An assessment helps identify these weaknesses so you can fix them before attackers exploit them.
Do we need to prepare anything before the assessment begins?
Usually very little. Basic network information, a list of critical systems, and access for configuration review are enough. If anything else is needed, it’s communicated early so the process remains smooth.
How soon can we apply the recommendations after the assessment?
Most improvements — such as rule cleanup, firmware updates, or adjusting access — can be implemented quickly. More complex changes, such as segmentation or large-scale policy updates, may take longer, but you will have a clear roadmap to follow.
