Detection and Removal of Firewall Misconfiguration

whitepaper This paper presents a set of algorithms to manage rules that never apply or are redundant in a firewall configuration. Then, a subsequent rewriting of rules will derive from an initial firewall setup to an equivalent one completely free of errors.

Change-Impact Analysis of Firewall Policies

whitepaper A firewall policy error either creates security holes that will allow malicious traffic to sneak into a private network or blocks legitimate traffic and disrupts normal business processes, which in turn could lead to irreparable, if not tragic...

Simulating Strategic Firewall Placement

whitepaper The ISP can then send all traffic straight to the firewall to filter based on the network administrator's rules. In order to give the network more control of filtering, the firewall can be connected directly to the ISP via an Ethernet connection.
