Firewall Security Best Practices
Is your firewall configured according to current security best practices?
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, security threats are evolving at an unprecedented rate. As a result, the role of firewalls has never been more critical. Yet, many organizations continue to operate with firewalls that are not configured to meet current security best practices, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
Why Focus on Firewall Best Practices?
A firewall is the first line of defence against cyber threats. A well-configured firewall can prevent breaches, while a poorly configured one can be as ineffective as having no firewall at all. With the best practice assessment work package, Orange Cyberdefense consultants conduct a thorough analysis of your Palo Alto Networks firewalls to ensure they are optimized for robust protection.
Our Three-Part Approach
Part 1: On-Site Best Practice Assessment
Our expert consultants visit your premises to retrieve and analyse your running configuration. This assessment identifies suboptimal configurations and security policy usage, providing a foundation for tailored recommendations for improvement.
Part 2: Comprehensive Reporting
We compile a meticulous report detailing the current security state of your Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), encompassing aspects like App-ID, User-ID, Threat Prevention, URL filtering, and Wildfire usage. The report lists findings and actionable recommendations to enhance your firewall's security efficacy.
Part 3: Executive Summary and Workshop
The final report, delivered in English, includes an executive summary and a prioritized list of recommendations based on 'The Orange Cyberdefense Project Approach'. We further cement our commitment to your understanding through an on-site workshop, designed to discuss the findings and address any queries.
