Business Challenge
A global commercial property company sought to modernise its firewall management platform. Before migrating to the new solution, the client required a comprehensive audit of existing firewall rules to ensure that only relevant and secure policies would be transitioned.
Systal’s Solution
- Comprehensive Firewall Audit: Our engineers examined the entire firewall estate, reviewing each rule against the client’s security policies and identifying areas of risk.
- Sub-standard Rule Remediation: Roughly 600 outdated or poorly configured rules were removed, with remaining rules optimised for enhanced protection.
- Naming Convention Implementation: Standardised rule naming for improved long-term system management and operational clarity.
Key Outcomes
- Stronger Security: Identifying and removing risky firewall rules improved the client’s overall security posture
- Improved Network Performance: Streamlined rule sets increased network speed and operational efficiency
- Simplified Management: Naming conventions reduced complexity, making future administration faster and more reliable
