Re: Re: Vulnerability scanning across Firewall

[tarunthenut () gmail com]

We are scanning the servers from same segment and we get a big list of vulnerabilities.

We are thinking of scanning the servers from Internet and User LAN (Identified attack vectors), both are seperated 
using stateful firewall (cisco/checkpoint). That way we would get a list of only those vulnerabilities that are 
actually exposed inspite of presence of a security control (Firewall) and we can patch these exposed list on priority 
and the remaining vulnerabilities during the periodic maintenance schedule.

Whatever difficulties we would face due to presence of a security control, a person with malicious intent would also 
face same problem due to presence of the same control.

Any thoughts anyone?
