Unauthorized Access

A common firewall vulnerability occurs when users or attackers gain unauthorized access to a system. NetWall enforces proper network segmentation while replicating data in real time from the trusted network to the untrusted network, eliminating the need for direct access to critical systems that perform data analysis.

Improper Configuration

Misconfiguration is the most common firewall vulnerability. Common mistakes include leaving ports open or misconfiguring rules and exposing the firewall to attacks. NetWall is configurable at installation, and no additional configuration or policy updates are needed.

Outdated Software

Outdated firewall software leads to exploitable vulnerabilities. The architecture of NetWall is resistant to software vulnerabilities because attackers cannot establish a connection from the untrusted network back to the trusted network.
