Modern enterprise networks are inherently heterogeneous, consisting of a vast array of hardware from diverse vendors. Organizations are mandated to align these devices with rigorous security frameworks, including CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800-53, DISA STIGs, and ISO/IEC 27001. The network environment includes, but is not limited to: • Firewalls & SASE: Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco (Firepower/Secure/Meraki), Check Point, Juniper (SRX), Sophos, SonicWall, WatchGuard, Barracuda, Zscaler, Cloud-native f
• The Core Challenge: In modern digital infrastructures, network devices act as the primary gatekeepers of data.

• The Core Challenge: In modern digital infrastructures, network devices act as the primary gatekeepers of data. However, they are also the most common point of misconfiguration, which accounts for a significant percentage of security breaches. Security frameworks like CIS, NIST, and STIGs offer specific 'hardening' protocols-such as disabling insecure protocols (Telnet/HTTP), enforcing strong cryptographic suites, configuring granular ACLs, and logging all administrative access. Currently, the industry relies on a bifurcated approach: either highly manual, checklist-based human auditing or expensive, vendor-locked enterprise management suites that lack flexibility for heterogeneous, multi-vendor environments. • Operational Gap: Administrators managing hybrid networks (composed of firewall
