Firewall Management
Your firewall rules have secrets, rules that never matched in years, duplicates, shadow rules giving a false sense of control. ConnectMyAssets finds them all.
- ✓Shadow rule detection across all vendors
- ✓Redundant and unused object cleanup
- ✓Cross-vendor unified rule view
- ✓Per-rule compliance scoring (AND/OR logic)
- ✓Normalized export for audit documentation

Visibility and Hygiene Across All Vendors
One unified view of all your firewall policies, normalized from every vendor's proprietary syntax into clear, readable findings you can act on.
Shadow Rules
Rules never triggered because blocked by a preceding rule. Find and remove them.
Redundant Rules
Duplicate rules cluttering your policy. Automatically identified.
Unused Objects
Address groups, service objects never referenced. Clean your base.
Cross-Vendor View
Checkpoint, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Juniper in one unified interface. Business intent, not vendor syntax.
Per-Rule Compliance
Built-in rule library plus custom policy builder. AND/OR conditional logic compliance check per individual rule.
Normalized Export
Export all rules in a standardized format, regardless of vendor.
How It Works
From raw vendor policies to normalized, analyzed, and clean firewall rules, in four steps.
Connect All Firewalls
Add Checkpoint, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Juniper, or F5 devices. Firewall rules, NAT rules, objects, and associated metadata are collected via vendor-native methods, CLI, API, or other vendor-specific protocols depending on the platform.
Normalize to Unified Model
Rules are translated into a vendor-neutral format. Source, destination, service, action, universal fields.
Analyze for Hygiene Issues
Shadow rules, redundant rules, and unused objects are flagged automatically with severity scoring.
Remediate and Export
Review findings, apply remediations, and export a clean normalized ruleset for documentation.
Shadow Rules: The Hidden Dead Weight
A shadow rule is one that can never be hit because a more general rule above it already matches all the same traffic. It gives a false sense of control, and inflates your ruleset. ConnectMyAssets flags every shadow rule automatically.
- ✓Detected across all vendor syntaxes
- ✓Severity score based on how long the rule has been inactive
- ✓One-click mark for removal review
- ✓Full audit log if the rule is deleted
"A unified view of all your firewall policies, regardless of vendor, the business intent behind the syntax."
ConnectMyAssets translates vendor-specific rule languages into business-readable intent: who can talk to whom, on what service, and why.
Compliance at the Rule Level
ConnectMyAssets doesn't just check device-level compliance. It evaluates every individual firewall rule against your compliance policies using AND/OR conditional logic. Start from the built-in rule library covering common security best practices, or build your own custom policies using the policy builder.
Multi-condition rules with nested boolean expressions per firewall rule
Weighted compliance score calculated independently per rule, not just per device
