In order to help show our clients just where their network tracking is coming from, we assign a dedicated firewall analyst to serve as an extension of their team. The firewall analyst is tasked with monitoring your system and network, becoming familiar with your business and network traffic, and preparing simple and easy to understand daily reports.

These daily reports provide tremendous insight into your network traffic throughout the last 24 hours. They include any actionable items, as well as the actions that your analyst took to protect your network, such as blocking a bad IP address.

In addition, our team will analyze and optimize the rules and regulations of your next-gen firewall to ensure that it is conducive to your business practices. We’ll work to identify your main sources of traffic, as well as eliminate any unnecessary, unused, or risky rules that could leave your network vulnerable to an attack. And then, we’ll further optimize your firewall security rules based on the potential for new threats and additional information that we collect from the log.

Paramount to everything that your analyst will do, is the fact that he or she will relentlessly work to provide you with simple information that you can use to further drive efficiency for your business.

Firewall auditing isn’t exactly an easy process. Often, most business owners won’t even touch their firewall after they’ve set it up – they simply “set it and forget it.” However, in today’s world, that rule of thumb no longer applies. And when it comes to an internal or regulatory audit, prepping your next-gen firewall beforehand can be extremely tedious, meticulous, and time-consuming – especially if you’re not entirely tech-savvy.

Simplify firewall audits and ensure continuous compliance

At SecureNGF, we can comprehensively prepare your firewall for an audit or compliance review. Because we use cutting-edge software to ensure compliance, we can generate reports quickly on the fly, execute sound change management strategies, and much more.

With SecureNGF you can:

• Instantly generate audit-ready reports for all major regulations, including PCI, HIPAA, SOX, NERC and many others
• Generate custom reports for internal compliance mandates
• Proactively check every change for compliance violations
• Make the necessary changes to remediate problems and ensure compliance
• Get a complete audit trail of all firewall changes and approval processes

Remember, our goal is to make your life simpler.

SecureNGF provides External Dynamic Block List URL and DBL services, which contain the list of high-risk IP addresses and domain names to ensure the protection of your network. We routinely update this list based on new threats within both inbound and outbound traffic.

DBLs are quite effective in stopping new threats directly in their tracks while the particular firewall vendor that you’re using updates its new threat database. For example, imagine you receive a phishing email with a link that executes a script to download spyware. If your DBL already has the IP or domain name in its list, your next-gen firewall will block the traffic to that IP or domain name.

The benefits of our Dynamic Block List feature:

So, how exactly does this feature impact your business? Dynamic Block Lists allow your next-gen firewall to build up a knowledge and immunity against high-risk traffic sources and URLs. Essentially, your DBL is your system’s first line of defense. If your system doesn’t have to worry about receiving traffic from potential risky URLs, it can devote its energy towards protecting its vulnerable points of entry.

Think of a Dynamic Block List as a filter that essentially grows in scale and scope as SecureNGF continues to update our lists of high-risk traffic sources. The larger the screen gets, the more likely you can catch and prevent cyber threats and attacks before they even come close to exploiting a potential vulnerability in your system.

With SecureNGFs Dynamic Block List, you can:

• Eliminate the risk of intrusion.
• View all high-risk traffic sources to see where you’re being targeted from.
• Further optimize your firewall and map high-risk traffic to appropriate areas.
• Constantly assess the vulnerabilities of your systems.

How SecureNGF’s Dynamic Block List Can Impact Your Business:

• Instantly gain a business-driven perspective on the risks associated with your systems.
• Ensure that the first line of defense is always strong and ready to repel attacks.
• Offer a highly secured service with minimal risk for your clients and customers.
• Ensure the utmost protection against future cyberattacks and intrusions by knowing exactly where your high-risk traffic is coming from.

The best way to ensure that you’re protected against an increasing wave of cyber threats is to ensure that your firewall is in line with industry best practices. Our systems constantly monitor millions of traffic sources and continuously update our Dynamic Block Lists to ensure that your systems will be inaccessible by these potential threats.

If you’re new to the idea of a next generation firewall, you may not be aware of the implications that can come along with not maintaining a firewall log. Having the ability to look back and review past attempts at intrusions, past vulnerabilities, and past traffic sources could leave you at a significant disadvantage in the event that an intrusion does take place today.

At SecureNGF, we not only monitor your firewall on a 24/7 basis, but we also store all of the information from the log for 1 full year in our Cloud data server. And if you’d prefer to keep your log around for a longer period of time, we also offer 3, 5, and 7-year storage options. We can even off-load your log to your FTP server at no additional charge.

We use LogPoint’s SIEM tool to not only offer a log management solution, but to also analyze past threats and vulnerabilities, so that you can gain a deeper insight into the types of threats that you’ve experienced in the past, if and how they’ve adapted to exploit different vulnerabilities, and how your system has reacted to these new and evolved threats.

In our minds, it isn’t enough to simply log your threats, they need to be thoroughly examined, studied, and analyzed to bring the big picture to the forefront of your security strategy.

The Benefits of our Firewall Log Management feature:

Having the intuitive ability to instantly go back into your firewall log and look at specific instances in which your systems were targeted maliciously is priceless for any business or organization across industry, scale, and scope. Having a business-driven view of risk is something that can help you to further optimize your systems and ensure that they’re always protected.

With SecureNGFs Firewall Log Management, you can:

• View all associated risks in an easy-to-view platform.
• View risks across multiple vendors and security groups.
• Further optimize your firewall and map high-risk traffic to appropriate areas.
• Constantly assess the vulnerabilities of your systems.
• Quickly and easily manage permissions, rules, and restrictions.
• Isolate decommissioned applications and remove their firewalls without disrupting the rest of your system.
• Analyze past threats and vulnerabilities.

How SecureNGF’s Firewall Log Management Can Impact Your Business:

• Instantly gain a business-driven perspective on the risks associated with your systems.

The best way to ensure that you’re protected against an increasing wave of cyber threats is to ensure that your firewall is in line with industry best practices. Our systems constantly monitor thousands of firewalls to determine that your systems are performing at the same level, if not better. When it comes to next generation firewall technology, you can never be too cautious.

It’s always better to be prepared, wouldn’t you say?

To truly and accurately test your next-gen firewall, we perform external vulnerability scans that work to search for every possible vulnerability that can be exploited. These comprehensive and extensive scans can be performed every quarter, and they’re also included in our managed service agreement.

These scans work to ensure that your business is always best prepared, protected, and secured against any outside network attack.

The benefits of our External Vulnerability scans:

When it comes to your systems, waiting around for a potential threat to impact your network could be detrimental to your business processes. Instead, why not take a more proactive approach? At SecureNGF, our External Vulnerability scans allow businesses to leave the risk mitigation tasks to the security experts who specialize in next-gen firewall protection.

As security experts, we know just how to scan and monitor your systems to determine any potential entry points, vulnerabilities, or ongoing security exploitations, so that you can rest assured knowing that your systems are always safe and protected from intrusions.

With SecureNGFs External Vulnerability scans, you can:

• Eliminate the risk of intrusion.

When it comes to your systems, it just isn’t worth the risk. Work with SecureNGF to take advantage of three exceptional features and services specifically designed to protect you, your business, your systems, and your customers and clients from the growing threat of cyber attacks.

If you’re interested in working with SecureNGF, let’s get started!

Over the years your firewalls have accumulated thousands of rules and objects, and many of these rules are now out-of-date or obsolete. Bloated rulesets not only add complexity to daily tasks such as change management, troubleshooting and auditing, they can also impact the performance of your firewall appliances, resulting in decreased hardware lifespan and increased TCO.

Safely removing rules, however, is not easy as it may cause application outages. And periodic rule recertification projects are time-consuming and complex – with multiple teams trying to understand why rules were created in the first place.

Optimize your security policy and eliminate clutter

SecureNGF allows you to effortlessly optimize your firewall policy and keep it clean and lean. Its actionable reports identify and help you remove the bloat and clutter from your policy, while SecureNGF’s automated change management processes ensure that new rules are optimally designed and implemented so that you don’t generate more clutter over time.

With SecureNGF you can:

• Uncover and remove unused, duplicate or conflicting rules
• Consolidate or reorder rules for better performance
• Tighten overly permissive rules (e.g. “Any/Any”) without impacting business requirements
• Recertify expired rules based on security and business needs
• Maintain policy hygiene by intelligently designing each rule change
• Securely remove access for decommissioned applications
