Firewall Compliance Auditor™

Skybox Firewall Compliance Auditor™ allows users to quickly identify compliance issues and risks in their environment to improve firewall security. The solution provides firewall analysis that immediately alerts the IT organization to the areas that need immediate attention including conflicting firewall rules and mis-configurations.

Visibility

Firewall Compliance Auditor collects information from multiple firewalls, normalizes the data, and analyzes their compliance with industry best practices or custom-tailored policies. Redundant, shadowed, and obsolete rules can quickly be found and remediated to optimize and simplify the system.

On-demand Audits

Firewall audit reports and firewal compliance scorecards are instantly available and can be provided to both compliance auditors and to management as support of compliance status. These provide tangible evidence that firewall compliance has been achieved and that security exposures are minimized. Firewall Compliance Auditor reports are also designed to support the PCI DSS v1.2 requirement. 

Change Assurance

Firewall Compliance Auditor’s firewall change management tools allow organizations the unique ability to quickly determine if proposed firewall configuration modifications will affect any relevant access, what rules will be impacted, and determine the root cause of changes that would modify the original rule. Using firewall analysis, systems can avoid downtime and potential availability issues that would normally result from human or configuration errors.
