Overview
Firewall management covers the assessment, tuning and day-to-day operation of firewall infrastructure.
The aim is a firewall that is both effective and usable: rules that match the business, with visibility of what is happening.
How the work is structured
- Firewall assessment. Review of existing rule sets, configuration and effectiveness to find gaps and unnecessary complexity.
- Rule optimisation. Tuning rules to balance protection with network performance.
- Threat detection and response. Monitoring to identify and respond to security events.
- Patch management. Applying security patches and updates to the firewall platform.
- Logging and reporting. Reports of firewall activity, security events and related intelligence for operations and compliance review.
