The Challenge
Security teams struggle to maintain consistent configurations across firewalls, routers, and other devices. Manual checks are slow, error-prone, and often fail to catch misconfigurations or exposed devices, increasing risk of breaches and operational gaps.
Our Solution
Clockspring automates network device monitoring, continuously validating configurations against security policies to detect misconfigurations and generate actionable alerts required to maintain a secure network posture.
Business Impact
- ✓ Reduced exposure and attack surface
- ✓ Rapid misconfiguration Detection
- ✓ Faster Incident Response
- ✓ Strengthened security posture
Continuous Security Validation
Continuously monitor network devices to detect misconfigurations, identify publicly exposed IPs, and ensure proper logging for incident investigations. Clockspring helps security operations teams maintain a secure network posture, reduce attack surface, and respond quickly to security events.
Direct SSH Connectivity
Securely connect to firewalls, routers, switches, and load balancers to retrieve real-time configuration and status data from the source, enabling rapid detection of security gaps and exposure points.
Configuration Parsing & Normalization
Automatically interpret configurations from Cisco, Palo Alto, Juniper, Fortinet, and other manufacturers and convert them into a standardized format for comprehensive security posture analysis.
Automated Compliance Validation
Continuously check device configurations against security policies, logging requirements, and exposure rules to detect misconfigurations, misrouted traffic, or publicly accessible devices that could increase risk.
Integrated Reporting & Alerting
Deliver actionable insights, alerts, and reports directly to SIEMs, dashboards, or ticketing systems. Identify and respond to high-risk devices, logging gaps, or exposure issues in real time.
Systems Involved
Notes: Supports any SSH-accessible network device with vendor-aware parsing and automated enrichment from logging, ticketing, and asset management systems.
How It Works (60 seconds)
- Connect: Establish secure connections to network devices to retrieve live configuration data.
- Analyze: Parse configurations and command output to identify exposures, policy violations, and drift.
- Act: Route findings to SIEM, databases, or ticketing systems for remediation and tracking.
- Device Access: SSH connectivity to firewalls, routers, switches, and load balancers
- Command Execution: Vendor-aware command sequencing and prompt handling
- Output Parsing: Structured extraction from vendor-specific configuration formats
- Compliance Checks: Validation against security baselines and logging standards
- Change Detection: Baseline comparison and configuration drift analysis
- Integration: Export results to SIEM, CMDB, or ticketing systems
Built-in Safeguards
- Access Control: Encrypted credential storage with role-based permissions
- Command Safety: Read-only execution and controlled command allowlists
- Data Validation: Parsing and normalization checks on device output
- Change Verification: Baseline comparison and configuration drift detection
