Hello Firewalls, As far as "Improving Firewall rules set on the complete firewall pool" is concerned, there is a tool called "Firesec" from NII Consulting. Firesec helps in solving the following problems about Firewall rule set: 1. Redundant rules - rules which are subsets or supersets of each other 2. Unused rules - rules which are simply not in use at all 3. Shadow rules - rules which are in contradiction to each other 4. Groupable rules - rules which could be made simpler by grouping together common elements More Information about Firesec can be obtained on following link: http://www.niiconsulting.com/products/Firesec.html --- Nikhil Wagholikar Information Security Analyst Network Intelligence India Pvt.

Hi! Working on multiple firewalls equipments (checkpoint / Fortinet / Netscreen…), I have identified two main subjects to improve our management tasks: - Improving firewall rules set on the complete firewall pool; - Mapping network flows : Being able to list all (authorised) flows between two hosts or subnets; Being able to quickly find a firewall with a deny rule on an operational flow; - Track and control device configuration In order to reach our goal, I have identified the following (-commercial-) products: - Firewall Analyser (Algosec) - Skybox assure - Firemon from secure Passage - SecureTrack from Tufin - RedSeal SRM (more wide product but it seems to respond to my primary purpose) - Firewall manager from Solsoft. => Does anyone have a first experience on this kind of product? => Do you think it would be better to use several firewall management solutions from each specific vendor? Thank You!
