ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer delivers a robust suite of solutions for managing Clavister firewalls, focusing on log analysis, configuration management, and compliance oversight. Firewall Analyzer supports most versions of Clavister NetWall and Clavister NetShield. While NetShield lacks a GUI, Firewall Analyzer enables users to seamlessly monitor it via an intuitive UI. This helps security admins have a unified view of their network. The ability to manage a GUI-less firewall like NetShield through Firewall Analyzer’s interface simplifies operations and adds a layer of control and visibility that would otherwise be challenging to achieve.
Monitoring the Clavister firewalls in a network is essential to ensuring optimal network security and performance. Continuous monitoring helps administrators detect and respond to potential threats, misconfigurations, or unauthorized access in real time, preventing security breaches. It also enables administrators to track bandwidth usage, analyze traffic patterns, and ensure compliance with security policies. By identifying performance bottlenecks and maintaining proper configurations, a firewall monitoring tool like Firewall Analyzer ensures a secure, efficient, and compliant network environment.
Firewall Analyzer simplifies the optimization of Clavister firewall rules by supporting both CLI- and file-based configurations. It provides a clear view of active rules, enabling administrators to streamline configurations for improved network performance. Firewall Analyzer's key capabilities include analyzing firewall rules and identifying redundancies to ensure efficient setups. The tool also offers rule comparisons to detect inconsistencies and a built-in risk analysis feature to identify vulnerabilities, enhancing overall firewall defenses.
Firewall Analyzer automates compliance management for Clavister firewalls by tracking all the configuration changes and generating audit-ready reports. This facilitates adherence to key standards like the PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27001, and the GDPR. Administrators can conduct security audits to detect misconfigurations or vulnerabilities. They can also restore previous settings with automated backups, reducing downtime and supporting uninterrupted compliance.
Firewall Analyzer provides detailed tracking of all configuration changes made to Clavister firewalls. Administrators can monitor who made changes, when they were implemented, and what was modified, ensuring proper oversight. This change management feature helps maintain security policies and allows administrators to make multiple configuration backups when necessary, minimizing risks from unauthorized or erroneous changes.
Effective configuration management is essential to maintaining security and uptime. Firewall Analyzer automates configuration backups for Clavister firewalls, allowing administrators to restore settings in case of any errors or system failures. This minimizes downtime and prevents security breaches by ensuring that misconfigurations can be corrected quickly. Real-time alerts about configuration changes keep administrators informed and ready to take action when needed.
Firewall Analyzer offers in-depth reports on VPN usage for Clavister firewalls, helping administrators monitor remote access and ensure secure connections. The reports provide insights into the VPN performance, connection status, and potential security issues. These insights are critical for organizations managing remote teams or external networks.
Firewall Analyzer automatically collects and analyzes logs from Clavister firewalls, offering a comprehensive view of network traffic and system health. The platform correlates these logs with data from other network devices, providing a holistic view of security events. Real-time monitoring helps admins detect abnormal patterns and allows for the swift identification and mitigation of security threats.
The bandwidth monitoring feature tracks network resource usage in real time, offering detailed reports on the consumption by each application, user, or protocol. Administrators can identify bottlenecks and optimize traffic flows across Clavister firewalls. The NetFlow log analysis feature provides deeper insights into the traffic distribution and helps admins ensure effective load balancing and network planning.
