Client: Multi-site government entity

01

Overview

Firewall configurations assessed across the multiple sites of a government entity, with findings turned into a structured set of hardening recommendations.

02

Technical challenge

Firewall policy across several sites had to be evaluated against a security baseline, and the findings had to be presented in a form the owning team could act on in priority order.

03

Architecture

  • 01Configuration review across the FortiGate estate at each site.
  • 02Findings grouped by control area rather than by device, so systemic issues surface.
  • 03Recommendations prioritised by security impact and operational risk.
  • 04Output structured as a remediation path rather than a raw finding list.
04

Implementation

  • Assessed FortiGate firewall configurations across multiple sites.
  • Identified configuration weaknesses and deviations from hardening guidance.
  • Prioritised findings for remediation.
  • Produced structured hardening recommendations for the environment.
05

Outcome

The entity received a structured, prioritised set of firewall hardening recommendations covering its multi-site FortiGate estate.
