Abstract

Athena Verify is a network security product that compares the network compliance to the industry best practices by analyzing the network's fundamental design and checks for vulnerabilities in the same. It performs a static network analysis based on the network topology used and various associated device configurations to obtain the policies. At the end, it evaluates the existing network policy against a pre-existing set of best practices consisting of business rules, design principles, and constraints around network architecture, access policy, and device configurations. The software tool currently supports only traditional wired networks. The purpose of the project will be to enhance the set of best practices provided by Athena Verify to support wireless LANs.
