Secure your Cisco surface
Network device configuration, access policy, and management interfaces reachable from places they should not be. We don’t connect to Cisco to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.
Book a Demo[01] What This Surface Exposes
Where Cisco goes wrong
Cisco estates go wrong through accumulation: ACLs grow for years and nobody can safely say which rules are still doing work.
- Management interfaces reachable from user networks or the internet
- Default or shared local credentials still present on devices
- Configuration drift from your approved baseline after manual changes
- Firmware well behind current, carrying known exploited vulnerabilities
- ACLs accumulated over years with rules nobody can justify
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Cisco
On Cisco devices we review ACLs with traffic data attached, so unused rules can actually be removed rather than left in place defensively.
- Management plane exposure tested rather than assumed from documentation
- Local credential inventory per device
- Configuration compared against baseline with the specific diff
- Firmware currency tracked against known exploited vulnerability catalogues, not just latest-version checks
- ACL review with traffic data so unused rules can actually be removed
[03] Where It Lands
Where Cisco lands in your registers
Every managed device becomes an asset register entry with its owner, encryption state, and OS currency. Access reviews cover the accounts bound to it, and the risk register carries what an unpatched or unencrypted endpoint actually exposes given the data that person handles. The gap that matters most is the device your MDM has never seen — we reconcile against your directory and HR record to find it.
[04] How We Engage
On Cisco specifically
On Cisco, we remediate ACLs and management exposure within agreed change windows. Firmware upgrade campaigns and network segmentation redesign we project-manage, since both carry outage risk.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Cisco FAQs
How does Konfirmity connect to Cisco devices?
Konfirmity connects to Cisco devices through read-only SSH or API access, or by ingesting configuration from your existing management platform where you have one. We compare running configuration against your approved baseline and report the specific diff rather than a generic compliance score.
Do you track firmware against known exploited vulnerabilities?
Yes, and that is the right benchmark rather than simply being behind the latest release. We track device firmware against catalogues of actively exploited vulnerabilities, so upgrade urgency reflects real-world exploitation rather than version age.
