Abstract
A method and system for assessing security of a network perimeter of a network. Security of an authentication computer from attack is reviewed. Users outside of the network perimeter that request access to an application within the network perimeter are authenticated. Vulnerability of a gateway computer at the network perimeter from applications outside of the network perimeter is reviewed. The reviewing of vulnerability of the gateway computer includes scanning ports on the gateway computer to determine whether an unauthorized application outside the network perimeter and/or at least one unauthorized service from the unauthorized application is available within the network perimeter via the gateway computer.
