How to Identify Firewall Vulnerabilities [cvedetails]

description

A firewall vulnerability is defined as an error made during firewall design, implementation, or configuration, that can be exploited to attack the trusted network that the firewall is supposed to protect.

This is an issue that arises when network firewall software isn’t managed properly. For any software program, there are vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit—this is as true of firewall programs as it is of any other piece of software. When firewall vendors discover these vulnerabilities, they usually work to create a patch that fixes the problem as soon as possible.

However, the patch’s mere existence doesn’t mean that it will automatically be applied to your company’s firewall program. Until that patch is actually applied to your firewall software, the vulnerability is still there—just waiting to be exploited by a random attacker.

The best fix for this problem is to create and stick to a strict patch management schedule. Under such a schedule, you (or the person managing your cybersecurity) should check for any and all security updates for your firewall software and make sure to apply them as soon as possible.
