Next-generation firewall management & engineering
Firewall policy that supports security and change.
Architecture, segmentation, day-to-day management, lifecycle support and troubleshooting for next-generation firewall environments.
Discuss your challengeArchitecture and segmentation
We translate required network flows and trust boundaries into zones, policies and manageable dependencies. The design also considers routing, NAT, VPNs, resilience and cloud or data-centre connections.
- Zone and segmentation design
- Routing, NAT, VPN and high availability
- Design and migration support
Policy and change management
Firewall rules should be traceable, least-privilege and operationally practical. We analyse rulebases, support changes and document rationale, risk and rollback.
- Rulebase analysis and clean-up
- Application- and identity-aware policy
- Change validation, logging and rollback
Threat-prevention capabilities
IPS, URL filtering, application control and other security profiles require careful configuration and tuning. We assess effectiveness and side effects using relevant telemetry.
- Security-profile configuration and tuning
- Analysis of blocks and exceptions
- Logging and visibility validation
Lifecycle and troubleshooting
Versions, licences, certificates and platform capacity all affect reliability. We support maintenance, upgrades, capacity questions and complex connectivity issues.
- Upgrade and lifecycle planning
- HA, performance and session analysis
- Operational documentation and knowledge transfer
