Switch hardening enables network teams to identify potential issues on networking devices and get on-demand compliancy reports
from in-scope network devices to establish a hardening baseline
by comparing configurations against predefined best-practice criteria
for each switch (what to change, where, and why it matters)
to track posture over time and support compliance evidence
so teams can prioritize remediation and maintain consistent hardening across the fleet
Opinnate turns collected switch configurations into clear hardening actions and trackable reports.
Define the in-scope switches and collect their configuration data to create a reliable baseline for analysis.
Opinnate evaluates configurations against predefined hardening best practices to detect gaps, risky settings, and inconsistencies.
Generate hardening reports with prioritized actions per device, track improvements over time, and spot drift as configurations change.
Available to customers on any Opinnate edition (Lite, Standard, or Enterprise).
Your edition determines the level of action (visibility → optimization → automation), while this module adds switch hardening
