Step 1 – Collect. Skybox CertiFire™ automatically collects firewall configuration data, log files, and corporate security policies.  A normalized firewall configuration repository is created, allowing fast and consistent evaluation of different firewalls. Configurations may be entered manually or collected automatically from existing configuration repositories.

Step 2 – Analyze. CertiFire correlates firewall configuration and policy data with industry standards and firewall management best practices.  Security and compliance gaps are identified and prioritized to show firewall administrators the areas of greatest concern. 

Step 3 – Report and Act. Firewall administrators can quickly generate a list of firewall misconfigurations and ruleset issues, and feed information into a trouble ticketing system for fast remediation.
