Network Firewall Security Management Software
Strengthen your network security with world-class firewall security management
Obtain real-time visibility into network firewall security
With SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM), users can leverage continuous monitoring capabilities to track firewall activity. This allows IT teams to more quickly identify anomalous activities, such as when a connection is denied by firewall rules or intrusion activity, like port scans. This enhanced speed can help dramatically improve IT admins’ situational awareness.
Network firewall security management software enables admins to work with preconfigured rules or set customized ones, so they can perform effective intrusion detection with more flexibility. These rules can help IT teams identify relationships between unrelated events, like user login failures or denied traffic counts.
Monitor firewall protection configuration changes
SolarWinds Security Event Manager helps ensure that only authorized firewall administrators can change firewall policies, enabling administrators to develop a robust firewall protection standard. Users can automate configuration change management across multi-vendor devices without the need for complex scripting and CLI commands. This enables IT teams to receive real-time alerts when firewall configuration changes or policy violations occur, whether due to accidents or potential threats. Additionally, side-by-side comparisons enhance network firewall protection, assist administrators in resolving failed configuration changes, and minimize downtime.
Create custom firewall security system filters
Users can create custom filters that highlight specific firewall events according to default or custom criteria using SolarWinds’ firewall management tool. Thanks to these custom filters, admins can gain a comprehensive understanding of their IT ecosystem, monitor specific types of user activity, and gain insights into traffic from targeted computers. Admins can also use connector profiles and other groups to broaden or refine the scope of the custom filters they set. The result is improved, more granular control, which simplifies firewall management and monitoring.
Audit and analyze firewall security logs quickly and easily
Security Event Manager is also a powerful firewall security management system for IT administrators who need to take a close look at firewall logs. Not only can SEM record network device activity in a centralized location, simplifying the auditing process, but it can also analyze logs using real-time event correlation rules to detect suspicious activity. Administrators can utilize built-in or custom correlation rules to enhance network visibility and automate responses.
Access insights across IT environments with SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted
Managing IT environments can be a complex and time-consuming process, but SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted can make a significant difference. This self-hosted software was designed to provide deep visibility across on-premises and cloud environments and can be integrated with the Security Event Manager and SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) as a Security Observability Solution. It can increase visibility, enabling administrators to reduce remediation time, streamline availability, and reduce tool sprawl and alert fatigue, ultimately helping admins bolster network firewall security.

Some common FAQs are…
Network firewall security is vital to every organization’s security framework. Firewalls are network security systems that monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined rules set by IT admins. This allows a firewall to establish a secure barrier between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network, such as a local area network (LAN) or the Internet. Firewalls are frontline defenders for networks and computers. Network firewall security and firewall management are crucial to overall network management for IT administrators tasked with ensuring that firewall configurations and deployments can protect the internal network, business data, and end-users.
