Firewall Management

Security is of the utmost importance within any corporate network today. However, it is common to deploy firewalls in a network and have no day to day reporting or visibility into their operation. Unfortunately, this lack of visibility translates into costly security breakins. Fidelia NetVigil can monitor logs and alerts on your firewalls and trigger notifications based on the severity of the event. Since NetVigil for networks already provides the operations staff with a daily view into the network, adding the monitoring of firewalls into this console provides daily and instant visiblity into these critical security devices.

Correlation with other Events

The unified NetVigil web console allows you to instantly correlate firewall or other log events with data from your routers or applications. An alert from a firewall about too many SYNC attacks can be correlated with high traffic utilization on a specific router to help isolate the cause of the problem. Using NetVigil's Business Containers, you can immediately correlate the impact of such problems on delivery of a service or application, hence reducing the mean time to problem resolution.

Comprehensive Reporting & Audit Trail

The NetVigil Event Manager translates and displays events from firewalls, routers, servers and IDS devices. All events are archived in a database for extended periods to provide a clear audit trail. The Event Console web interface gives access to real-time alerts, and allows you to acknowledge, suppress and annotate events in an operational environment.

Trigger Alerts and Notifications

The Event Manager interfaces with Fidelia's powerful Notification engine to assign severities and trigger notifications based on the type of event. You can send a page, email or even trigger a more complex action to react specifically to the event if desired.
