We are thinking of scanning the servers from Internet and User LAN (Identified attack vectors), both are seperated using stateful firewall (cisco/checkpoint). That way we would get a list of only those vulnerabilities that are actually exposed inspite of presence of a security control (Firewall) and we can patch these exposed list on priority and the remaining vulnerabilities during the periodic maintenance schedule.
Whatever difficulties we would face due to presence of a security control, a person with malicious intent would also face same problem due to presence of the same control.
Any thoughts anyone?
