FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Firewall Manager supports Fortinet FortiGate, Sophos Firewall, SonicWall, and MikroTik RouterOS. Integration is via syslog ingestion and vendor APIs — no firewall rule changes are required. Additional vendor integrations are added on a regular release cycle, so check the latest platform release notes for new additions.

Firewall Manager tracks your firewall rule baseline and alerts when changes are detected — new rules added, existing rules modified, or policy sets replaced. Configuration drift alerts fire in real time via the Event Manager, and a full change history is maintained so you can reconstruct what was in place before any modification.

The live traffic dashboards show blocked vs. allowed connection counts, top blocked source IPs and countries, protocol distribution, bandwidth by interface, and threat signature hit rates. This gives security operations teams immediate visibility into whether traffic patterns are normal or indicative of a scanning, brute force, or DDoS event.

ISO 27001 Annex A.8.20 and A.8.21 require network controls and web filtering to be in place and monitored. Firewall Manager's log retention, policy monitoring, change alerting, and compliance reporting together provide documented evidence of these controls — specifically the monitoring and review requirements that auditors scrutinise most.
