Who's playing with the firewall configuration?
firewall cartoon
A breach. A breach. May day. May day.... our network is compromised!!! How many times has this happened to us. When we deployed the firewall we did it with meticulous care and adhered to every IT policy and best practices we know off. But still our networks get knocked down. Viruses, trojans, malware and other malicious software keep finding holes in our firewall and abuse our network. You want to know the reason? Well it’s not only about configuring it right the first time, but also auditing your firewall configuration periodically and ensuring that there are no holes created in due course. Even more get alerted about changes in real-time.

This is why we at ManageEngine have added a new configuration change management report in ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer our leading firewall management software, which tells you the history of every change made - who/ when/ what/ and why. This helps you fix the holes in your firewall and prevent brutal attacks.  Download Firewall Analyzer now!
