Do you validate your home network security?

Had a few conversations lately with people using various firewall solutions for their home networks.

One thing that's come up a few times with firewall solutions is they're configured to deny by default, but that's only as a good as the configuration you put on it.

In business, it's typical to make a change then have a external party test any public facing IPs etc. to alert of misconfigurations etc.

Does anyone go that far with their home/home business network?

Exactly @Grim5 ... but a lot of us don't for our homes

A remote test doesn’t tell you anything about lateral movement inside your network which is just as important.

That'd be like the next level I suppose. It's interesting though because when and truly do you just stop!

All great points @Caged I agree, am interested in people's approaches
