NxGn ACR

An Australian-developed, AI-Powered solution for Network Auditing, Compliance to military standards, and Remediation.

The Challenge

The High Cost of Manual Compliance

Slow & Expensive Audits

Auditing against standards like Essential Eight or DoD STIGs is a manual, costly process.

Remediation Bottlenecks

In-house teams spend months on fixes, if addressed at all, leaving systems exposed.

Lack of Real-Time Visibility

CISOs lack live compliance data, hindering timely, informed security decisions.

The Threat is at the Edge

Recent Australian Breaches Prove the Risk

High-profile attacks like the Cisco "ArcaneDoor" exploit (April 2024) and the FortiGate SSL-VPN vulnerability (Feb 2024) show that attackers are actively targeting the core of our networks: routers, switches, and firewalls.

Automated Defence in Action

How NxGn ACR Mitigates These Threats

vs. Cisco "ArcaneDoor"

Root Cause: Exposed management interfaces & unpatched firmware.
NxGn ACR Defence: Continuously detects and remediates STIG drift, exposed services, and missing patches to close the exploit path.

vs. FortiGate SSL-VPN RCE

Root Cause: Publicly exposed SSL-VPN interfaces & outdated firmware.
NxGn ACR Defence: Flags exposure, auto-patches devices, disables vulnerable modules, and prevents unauthorized changes.

Continuous compliance monitoring is essential to close the gaps that enable these exploits.
