How to manage your firewall accounts efficiently

Firewall account management helps enhance network security by monitoring the accounts and providing insights on unusual changes to both user and admin accounts. Once these suspicious activities are spotted, you can immediately take corrective measures and stop attackers from moving through your network.

When the number of devices and accounts is high, managing the firewall accounts can be challenging. On top of this, managing accounts of different vendors can also be confusing. This is where EventLog Analyzer comes into play. It's capable of managing firewall accounts centrally and providing out-of-the-box reports for firewall activities of accounts of different vendors.
