I'd love to hear the answer to this one.  Even just learning how people tackle documenting and reviewing their rules 
would be beneficial.

Thanks,

Subject: [SECURITY] Firewall Rule Audit Software/Service

We are looking at updating our Firewall Rule Audit structure so that we check over all of our rules at least once a 
year to verify whether they still need to be in place. Since we have multiple groups & multiple firewalls, each with 
their own specific set of rules the goal is to have some central structure where the audit can be recorded. Are any of 
you using a software or service that provides the ability for multiple users to log in & check off firewall rules? 
Please feel free to contact me off list if that is better for you.

Thank You,
Will Telfer, M.S.
