Change Manager

Automate firewall change management to reduce manual effort, maintain continuous compliance, and close security gaps.

Automate firewall changes across the hybrid network, with a modern NSPM solution

Successfully managing access requests of corporate environments requires an in-depth understanding of your network topology and multiple traditional, next-gen, and cloud firewalls from multiple vendors. Manually reviewing these requests is costly and complex. Implementing them without a detailed understanding of the business context and the risks is dangerous.
Securely automate firewall change management processes with Skybox Change Manager to:

  • Reduce manual errors.
  • Identify and close security gaps.
  • Maintain continuous compliance.

Analyze proposed changes for policy violations.

Perform comprehensive risk assessments

Conduct meticulous research on proposed changes without impacting the live environment. Automatically check if proposed access changes are already in place and which devices are relevant to the change. Use the end-to-end visibility provided by the dynamic network model to evaluate access routes, examine each step between source and destination, and:

  • Analyze proposed changes for policy violations.
  • Identify if a change could expose a vulnerable asset.
  • Ensure changes are authorized and complete.

Orchestrate the change request lifecycle

Orchestrate the change management process, automatically pushing firewall changes to vendor-specific firewalls. Integrate seamlessly with existing ticketing and ITSM systems to centralize and formalize change requests and comply with audit requirements:

Use the network model to:

  • Automate workflows for rule creation, change verification, recertification, and de-provisioning.
  • Automatically reconcile changes in firewall rule bases with corresponding change request tickets.
  • Assess exact matches and examine whether the changes exceed or fall short of what was approved.

Lifecycle management.

Recertify rules to keep firewalls relevant, secure, and compliant.

Simplify rule recertification

Simplify, formalize, and automate workflows for reviewing rules for recertification or de-provisioning to keep firewalls relevant, secure, and compliant. Systematically recertify rules based on business attributes such as rule owner or review date and achieve continuous compliance by automating processes to:

  • Create a repeatable process to assess rules.
  • Customize rule review frequency based on risk classification.
  • Determine if rules are required or violate compliance.

Increase efficiency with automation policies

Drive operational efficiencies and cost reductions, and free up your team’s time for other priorities, by using automation policies to automate security processes. Create custom policies to automate routine security operations such as responding to access rule compliance violations or access rule optimization, for example by automatically deactivating rules, deleting rules, or setting rule logging. Configure policies to run automatically at pre-defined intervals, based on a wide range of triggers, including:

Automatically apply comprehensive policy compliance checks including:

  • Ownership details.
  • Change request status.
  • Priority level.
