Firewall security audit tool
Firewall security audit
Firewalls are the network barriers that secure your network from unwanted connections, intrusions, and malicious traffic. The primary motive of a firewall security audit is to ensure that all the firewalls in your system are functioning properly and securely. A regular firewall security audit also helps you meet the requirements of regulatory mandates.
