Networking
Where access begins, security must lead
Networking infrastructure is the backbone of every organization’s digital environment.
Ensuring the security of routers, switches, firewalls and VPNs is critical to preventing unauthorized access, data leakage and network-based attacks. With real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis and automatic configuration monitoring, your network security posture can be continuously improved.
Enhance your network defenses—monitor configurations, detect attacks and safeguard communication channels.
Top 5 Concerns
Audit - user & policy management
Firewall threat detection & response
Router/ switch configuration monitoring
Traffic analysis
VPN traffic monitoring
Audit - user & policy management
Proper audit controls are essential for managing users and policies in network devices, ensuring only authorized personnel make changes to configurations and access controls.
Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:
➡️ Unauthorized configuration changes or misconfigurations
➡️ Privilege escalation through improper role assignments
➡️ Lack of accountability for policy updates and changes

Firewall threat detection & response
Firewalls are the first line of defense against cyber threats entering or leaving your network. Ensuring they are continuously monitored for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and suspicious activity is crucial for preventing breaches
Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:
➡️ Misconfigurations allowing malicious traffic
➡️ Ineffective detection of network attacks (e.g., DDoS, port scanning)
➡️ Failure to monitor access control lists and firewall policies
Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:
Router/ switch configuration monitoring
Monitoring the configurations of routers and switches is crucial to ensure that only authorized network changes occur and that there are no unaccounted, for vulnerabilities introduced into the network.
Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:
➡️ Misconfigured devices causing security holes or operational failures
➡️ Unauthorized access to sensitive network equipment
➡️ Lack of monitoring for suspicious or abnormal traffic patterns
Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:
Traffic analysis
Understanding network traffic is essential to detecting malicious behavior and unauthorized data exfiltration. Consistent traffic analysis allows for real-time detection of potential cyber threats.
Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:
➡️ Data exfiltration through unmonitored network paths
➡️ Lack of visibility into encrypted traffic or unexpected traffic spikes
➡️ Detection gaps for lateral movements and internal threats
Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:
VPN traffic monitoring
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are critical for remote access, but if compromised, they open up an enterprise to significant security risks. Constant monitoring and anomaly detection for VPN traffic is necessary to ensure secure, authorized remote access.
Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:
➡️ Unauthorized access due to weak or stolen VPN credentials
➡️ VPN traffic hijacking or interception
➡️ Abnormal or suspicious connections from untrusted devices or geolocations
