Firewall OS Monitoring

Firewall Security Goes beyond the Rulebase

A firewall is more than a policy rule base – it also has an underlying operating system that is crucial to its health and stability. To avoid errors or even downtime, it is important to monitor the entire firewall infrastructure.

For example, consider a cluster with 3 active firewalls and a standby. An administrator changes the OS configuration on the active device, but not on the standby. So the next time there is a failover, it does not work. Firewall OS Monitoring would detect the discrepancy and send an alert immediately.
