Firewall Rules Analyzer Software

Firewall security policies include hundreds, if not thousands; of network access rules spread across heterogeneous firewall vendors of all shapes and sizes. Regular inspection of these access rules is essential for the secure functioning of an enterprise, but manually inspecting these firewall rules is time consuming and is prone to costly errors.

Firewall Analyzer is automated Firewall Rule Analysis software that monitors and reports on Firewall rules/policies/ACL usage within the network. Firewall Analyzer provides reports on:

• Top Used Rules – which provides the list of rules / policies / ACLs heavily used by the network traffic flowing through enterprise firewalls and can be used to optimize the firewall policies.
• Top Rules based on Protocol Groups - provides the number of events triggered for each rule, based on protocol groups
• Top Rules based on Hosts – gives important insights on hosts which are triggering the maximum rule-based events
• Top Rules based on Destination – provides a detailed summary of destinations accessed through the firewall and the rules that have been used

Top Unused Rules - provides the list of rules / policies / ACLs unused or less used by the network traffic flowing through enterprise firewalls and can be used to optimize the firewall policies
