Comply with regulations by making regular checks on network devices

Switch hardening enables network teams to identify potential issues on networking devices and get on-demand compliancy reports

What it does - Switch Hardening

What it does:

Collects and parses switch configuration data

from in-scope network devices to establish a hardening baseline

Identifies hardening gaps and risky settings

by comparing configurations against predefined best-practice criteria

Generates actionable remediation recommendations

for each switch (what to change, where, and why it matters)

Produces audit-friendly hardening reports

to track posture over time and support compliance evidence

Highlights drift and recurring issues

so teams can prioritize remediation and maintain consistent hardening across the fleet

How it works

Opinnate turns collected switch configurations into clear hardening actions and trackable reports.

Connect & Collect Configurations

Define the in-scope switches and collect their configuration data to create a reliable baseline for analysis.

Analyze Against Hardening Criteria

Opinnate evaluates configurations against predefined hardening best practices to detect gaps, risky settings, and inconsistencies.

Report & Track Remediation

Generate hardening reports with prioritized actions per device, track improvements over time, and spot drift as configurations change.

Switch Hardening

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
