What are the Risks Involved With Untested Firewalls?
A Firewall device acts as the gatekeeper to the corporate network and often is the first and last form of defence for most organisations who do not employ a multi-layer of security.
The Firewall is the device that sits between the inside and outside of your network and controls who can come in, and go out of your network.
An incorrectly configured firewall or one that exhibits a software vulnerability due to lack of patching can seriously affect the security posture of your organisation and allow a hacker total access to the corporate network.
