The Firewall Rule Evaluation is performed by a certified security auditor. Using various automated and manual tests, the auditor will review current firewall rules and posture against four areas:
• Best practice security audit report
• Software vulnerability audit report
• SysAdmin Audit Network Security (SANS) policy compliance report
• Configuration report
The audit scope covers approved firewall configuration baselines, security standards, and policies used to support business deliverables. Each uncovered issue will be rated based on severity (critical, high, medium, low, and informational) and classification (administration, authentication, best practice, etc). A final Firewall Rule Evaluation Report is delivered with expert analysis of information collected from the firewalls, including a remediation plan based on level of severity for each deficiency.
The Firewall Rule Evaluation Assessment can be performed on Cisco, Meraki, Extreme Networks, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper Networks, WatchGuard, and Dell SonicWALL firewalls.
