I couldn't rule it out. At the same time, if that communication is
across a single org, this isn't likely an issue.

This I love! We'll have Help Desk install a copy of NMap on
everyone's laptop and send them directions on how to use it to find
the VPN concentrator each time it moves. Also, we'll neglect to tell
the incident handlers. It'll keep them on their toes. :-)

Have you looked at solfsoft firewall manager solution? I am not sure after
they got acquired by 'extraprotect/loglogic', what there status is but they
had their product which could potentially meet your requirement.

Hi there,

Just wanted to get some advice from the forum. What tools do you use
to perform firewall policies review on Junipers firewall? One of the
driver is to comply with PCIDSS. Due to the number of firewalls I hope
there is some proven tools out there that can help with things like
gathering configs, identify diff in rulesets etc. I am prepared for
manual analysis but want to automate as much as possible, especially
this will be a recurring tasks. Anyway welcome any open source or
commercial suggestions. Thanks heaps for your help.

Cheers,

Wil
