Firewall management is a fundamental element of network security and crucial for protecting companies’ networks from unwanted access.
Effectively managed by a team or a security service provider, a firewall can help companies protect their data and systems.
Firewall management includes the creation and implementation of network security policies.
Firewall management includes the correct configuration, regular monitoring, and ongoing maintenance of firewalls.
Firewall management ensures that the firewalls remain up to date, secure, and properly configured for optimal performance.
Firewall management involves monitoring the performance of firewalls and detecting abnormal activity.
Before configuring your firewall, establish comprehensive security policies that align with your organization's needs and compliance requirements.
Configure your firewall to allow only necessary traffic. Start with a 'deny all' approach and then selectively permit required connections.
Keep your firewall software up-to-date with the latest security patches and firmware updates to protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities.
Divide your network into separate security zones to contain potential breaches and apply different security policies to various parts of your infrastructure.
Set up comprehensive logging and regularly monitor firewall logs to detect and respond to suspicious activities promptly.
Perform periodic reviews of your firewall rules and configurations to ensure they remain effective and aligned with your current security needs.
