If your enterprise is currently running the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) - the operating system that drives the majority of routers and switches in commercial use today, you need to be aware of the increasing threat posed by potential vulnerabilities in IOS-based devices.

That is where Datacraft's Secure Network Infrastructure Assessment (SNIA) comes in. Designed to assure your network infrastructure is secure, SNIA is a network and security assessment service that discovers, catalogues and provides remediation recommendations for Cisco hardware and software.

The service ensures that organisations do not expose themselves to unnecessary risk, by keeping products up to date and assisting with the alignment of their Cisco estate to configuration, security and patch management best practices.

Business Benefits

• Reduced mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) - The detailed asset list (CMDB-data) gives organisations visibility of all the equipment in their IT environment, leading to improved trouble-shooting when equipment fails.
  
• Reduced security risk - Facilitates the standardisation of router, switch and advanced technology device releases through proper identification and cataloguing of the installed device base. Patches and upgrades can be prioritised based on their relevance in relation to the overall IT strategy and vulnerability profile. Standardisation, in turn, minimises the risk for human error and undiscovered equipment being left exposed to security threats.
  
• Reduced operational expense through standardisation -The identification of hardware and software which is in, or approaching end-of support, gives organisations the opportunity to update and standardise technology to ensure manufacturer support.
  
• Identify best practice - Best practice configuration ensures maximum security and consistency, as well as regulatory compliance. The analysis and recommendations included in the service enables organisations to benchmark their configurations against industry best practice.
