- Object-cleanup support for Netscreen Checkpoint and PIX/ASA/FWSM firewalls.
- This feature determines the Rule usage, network object usage and service object usage by analyzing log data. The feature provides the hit counts for each rule along with the percentage usage of each source, destination and service object with in the rule. Also, it shows the aggregate usage of each service object used to specify service and network object used as either source or destination across all rules, based on the log entries.
- Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) best practice catalog included. This catalog gives excellent guidelines to the firewall security practices to be followed.
- Object-rationalization feature is supported for Cisco PIX/ASA/FWSM firewalls.
- All the object definitions and their variations for selected firewalls in the firewall inventory are exported into an Excel spread sheet. User can now easily refer to the object definitions and add modified object-definitions mapped to the original one.
- After importing the mappings for selected firewalls, FirePAC can generate the
- command scripts for each firewall to eliminate the objects with same name and different definition across the selected firewalls. This feature is extremely useful during migration to CSM for Cisco firewalls and NSM for Netscreen Firewalls.
