Overview
Firewall configurations assessed across the multiple sites of a government entity, with findings turned into a structured set of hardening recommendations.
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.
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.
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.
Outcome
The entity received a structured, prioritised set of firewall hardening recommendations covering its multi-site FortiGate estate.
