Firewalls accumulate risky rules over time. A structured review surfaces the exposure that scans miss.

1. What a review covers

  • Overly permissive or unused rules.
  • Any-any rules and unnecessary exposure.
  • Change control and rule documentation.
  • Secure configuration and firmware/patch level.

2. Beyond firewalls

The same rigour applies to routers, switches and security appliances — device hardening against benchmarks (e.g., CIS) closes common gaps.

How CyberSigma helps

We review firewall rule-sets and device configurations against best practice and benchmarks, and give you a prioritised clean-up plan.

This guide is educational and not legal advice. Requirements evolve — validate specifics against the current standard or regulation for your situation.
