Hi Fellow contractors,
My boss asked me to create a baseline of our firewall rules because our Infra is outsourced and we have not collected changes made to the configuration so far. So in brief, it is a big mess. Duplicated RFCs are rised to the outsourced services to open/close ports and we end up losing control over what has been done.
We want to baseline the rules that are on our firewalls (we have 2) but since we have something like 100 rules in total I was wondering if there are tools to produce a report of all rules/policies in place.
I am not exactly a network guy (I was a Java developer), so I wonder if there is among you a network guru who can share his/her recommendations and suggest any tools that can automate this procedure. (NOTE: After googling a bit, I found Firemon, but I can't find a demo to download )
Has anyone a good suggestion to automate this task and maybe some past-experience on how to streamline firewall management ?
Thank you in advance,
Z
