Network Security Audit

When to Use

• Security posture assessment for compliance (SOC2, PCI-DSS, NIST, CIS)
• Pre-deployment security review
• Incident response — checking for unauthorized access or configuration
• Hardening audit for new devices
• Periodic security validation

Security Audit Procedure

Step 1: Pull Running Configuration

Always start by capturing the full running config for analysis:

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_show_running_config '{"device_name":"R1"}'
