Firewall01ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIOQUESTION FROM THE MANAGERDoes this investment really pay off?
There is a firewall, but no effective rules
invisible problemHigh cost firewall installed; broad permissions and default rules are not narrowed down to business need.
- Business impact
- Unnecessary connections may remain open. Device operation does not indicate that the expected network protection is provided.
- What is siberkobi doing?
- Rule set, default policy, open services, traffic logs and cross-network access examples are examined.
- Recommended improvement
- Rules are defined based on business need; Unused permissions are removed and change and review managers are appointed.
Firewall02ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIOQUESTION FROM THE MANAGERDoes this investment really pay off?
Firewall management panel is open to the internet
invisible problemThe management console can be accessed from the internet; The administrator account uses a weak password and MFA is not enabled.
- Business impact
- Compromise of an administrative account can impact the network's protection rules and internal access.
- What is siberkobi doing?
- Exposure of management ports, permitted resources, authentication, MFA and administrator session logs are checked.
- Recommended improvement
- Management access is limited to authorized networks; Personal administrator accounts, strong authentication and supported MFA are implemented.
Antivirus and EDR03ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIOQUESTION FROM THE MANAGERDoes this investment really pay off?
200 antivirus licenses, 73 unprotected computers
invisible problemThe sample institution received 200 licenses; On 73 devices, the agent was missing, stopped, or disconnected from the console. Numbers are a representative scope example.
- Business impact
- A purchase record does not prove that all devices are protected. Out-of-range devices may delay incident detection.
- What is siberkobi doing?
- The device inventory is matched with the console; agent health, currentness, license usage, and exceptions are sampled.
- Recommended improvement
- The missing agents are completed; stopped services are fixed and automatic coverage of new devices is monitored.
