- Optimize performance of network devices by eliminating the redundant, insecure and obsolete rules.
Security Risk Visibility
Network devices plays crucial role in safeguarding the enterprises security by handling massive amounts of traffic. Business needs are changing every day which eventually makes configuration more complex and huge. There are lot of security policies implemented across these network devices, at times, count often goes up to thousands of rules and objects. Objects may include hosts, host groups, services, service groups, interfaces, and zones. Firesec helps you in discovering the unused objects that unnecessary holding lot of space and reducing performance.
Organizations can use Firesec to:

Periodic Configuration Reviews
Administrators are well aware of the fact that over time rule base tends to become complex, as they contain rules that may be obsolete or incorrect. Rule base reviews play a critical role in ensuring the ongoing analysis of the rule base. It evaluates the rules from your network devices to determine whether the security risks exist in the configuration, unwanted rules making database hefty, and if there are vulnerabilities allowed through the network devices for high risk prone services.
Organizations can use Firesec to
- Administrator can assign rules to the reviewer, who will review the rules and tag them as Retain, Modify, or Delete along with providing business justification.
