Nipper Studio provides a thorough security audit of firewall rules and it also provides an audit of many other configuration options that could also pose a security risk and provide you with the information to make an informed decision. Nipper Studio includes support for both the industry standard CVSSv2 rating system and the established Nipper v1 rating systems. When using the CVSSv2 rating system you can define what is important for your environment, such as confidentiality or integrity, and any identified security issue ratings will be calculated to reflect your own priorities. The Nipper v1 rating system is an excellent all round choice when you also want to include best practice priorities.

Intelligent Analysis

Some configuration options can be as simple as either on or off, however many modern network devices can often be complex to configure with configuration options that influence each other. Nipper Studio understands the relationships between those complex settings and is able to determine if a security risk is exposed. Nipper Studio also excels in areas which are traditionally weak for automated tools.

Advanced Dynamic Report Writing Technology

Nipper Studio includes advanced dynamic report writing technology that enables the creation of a report that reads like a human had written it. Each sentence that is written takes into account account names, plaurality and references amongst other details. Many of the audit companies that make use of Nipper for their own work will often use the report text directly in their own reports.
