Beyond Firewall Security

How Centripetal Enhances Network Protection

Many in the cyber security field feel that they are protected since they have firewalls in place. The reality is that firewall security has its limitations. It’s not uncommon for firewalls to fail, with mistakes often made in patching or configuration that can allow serious threats through.

When Firewall Security Fails

Firewalls form an essential layer of best practice cybersecurity — protecting networks by blocking unwanted or suspicious traffic. But the threat landscape is a dynamic and volatile place. Cyber-criminals are constantly hunting for gaps in corporate defenses that they can exploit to sneak through into networks. There’s plenty to lose if threat actors find any of these gaps in your firewalls. Alongside misconfigured access control settings, software vulnerabilities represent a major risk. A serious bug in the firewall software could allow malicious traffic right through the cyber-front door and into the corporate network, if exploited by cyber-criminals.
