Why Orchestrate Firewall Policy Management?
Complex networks require a significant investment of time to manually monitor and update policies and ensure they are correct. The constant change of security requirements creates a substantial backlog of work for a network team who must make these changes manually across several firewalls. Orchestration across business systems and policy management tools greatly reduces labor efforts and cycle times from days to just minutes.
Manual firewall policy management only goes so far. Network orchestration helps to:
- Increase the number of changes that can be made during a maintenance event.
- Reduce network outages and security risks.
- Reduce cycle times from days to minutes.
- Save over 7,000 manual hours.
