Re: Vulnerability scanning across Firewall

Hello there,
>From my point of view it's a critical job that must be
done regulary (just like scanning from outside the
network - aka Internet). It allows you to map the
firewall rules from the inside to the DMZ. And you
know, attackers may be insiders too... :) I mean here
they may own a system inside your LAN (even throw
physical presence in front of a terminal) and lunch an
attack from there to your servers. If the firewall is
not capable of stopping this they may place a backdoor
on the servers and then use them remotely from
anywhere.

Have secure fun,
Dan
