A firewall rule base has a tendency to expand in size and complexity over time as various administrators keep adding rules to resolve different issues. Many rules overlap or get canceled out, adversely affecting the firewall’s performance.
Firewalls shield networks from unauthorized access and are indispensable elements of a cybersecurity framework. Hence, no organization can afford to neglect firewall safety and must undergo regular firewall rule-base audits.
Excedor audits rule bases of different types of firewalls, for example, traditional or next-generation firewalls. During the audit, we first inspect the rule base to check whether it complies with relevant polices and best practices, and grants only the minimum access to a device. We examine each rule, and identify the rules that are in use and those that are redundant.
Next, Excedor’s auditors examine risk and compliance‑related aspects of the rule base. Our auditors understand your firewall technology thoroughly. Using automated tools, we determine the actual traffic that each rule passes, and the ports and protocols that pass through the rule in case of allowed services.
Excedor’s audits not only help you fulfill compliance requirements but also reinforce your network security. Often, just the existence of a firewall creates an illusion of security even though it does not actually provide the requisite safeguards. Excedor converts the illusory security into real, robust security.
