Mistakes in firewall configuration can have serious consequences for the security of corporate networks. To address this challenge, Serval Networks offers its Firewall Rules and Compliance Optimization service, an ideal solution to improve security in terms of compliance, network visibility and risk management.
Over time, firewall rules can accumulate and become unwieldy, increasing the risk of security breaches and making regulatory compliance more difficult. Serval Networks is dedicated to reviewing and optimizing these policies, ensuring they are accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with security standards.
“An experienced integrator like Serval Networks can fully understand the organization’s context, network topology, security policies, applications, roles and users, and change flows. Only by understanding this context properly, is it possible to advance on the path towards automation and increase the level of security maturity,” says Carlos Baquero Arenal, Presales Consultant at Serval Networks.
Serval Networks: Firewall Security Policies
Serval Networks uses advanced tools that automate the analysis and optimization of firewall rules. These solutions identify unnecessary configurations and prioritize rules based on risk, improving both firewall performance and network security posture.
In addition to reducing the time and costs associated with manual rule management, this service also strengthens threat protection, enabling faster and more effective response in the event of incidents, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. This approach is designed to comply with standards and regulatory frameworks such as NIST, PCI DSS, and NIS2, which require proper management and auditing of security policies.
Its service is the best option in terms of compliance, visibility and risk management with efficient configuration of firewalls, eliminating redundant rules and optimizing network security and performance.
With the perception that most companies focus more on responding to cybersecurity incidents than minimizing the risk of them occurring, Serval Networks has configured this managed cybersecurity service with a proactive approach, to protect sensitive information, maintain stakeholder confidence and significantly improve enterprises’ network security posture.
From this perspective, managed services can help achieve:
- Greater Policy Consistency: Ensuring that security policies are properly applied to all devices on the network.
- Cost Reduction: By eliminating redundant configurations and optimizing resources, management costs and resource consumption in firewalls are reduced.
- Risk Management: Proactively identifying and addressing potential security risks due to incorrect definition of rules in the security policy.
- Change Management: Automating and controlling changes to security policies to prevent unauthorized modifications.
- Compliance: By continuously monitoring security policies to detect and correct compliance deviations.
Additionally, performing firewall rule audits will help organizations adjust their cybersecurity needs, adapting to new threats and preventing outdated or incorrect configurations from being exploited.
