Cisco ACL Shadow
Audit
Cisco extended ACLs lose their ordering meaning the moment they grow past a screen. This audit replays every ACE against the ones above it and flags shadowed (unreachable) and redundant entries—so your team can prune dead rules with confidence and shrink the ACL surface before it grows further.

Cisco ACL Shadow & Redundancy Audit
Cisco-Specific · Quick Audit
Did your team cover these critical blindspots?
The most commonly overlooked attack vectors in Network Security environments—validated through hundreds of enterprise engagements.
Unreachable ACEs
Permit and deny entries buried behind broader rules never fire—giving operators false confidence in the rule base.
Rule Bloat
ACL length impacts hardware TCAM consumption and review time. Most ACLs carry 20–40% dead entries.
