Network and security architecture

Firewall rules are removed less often than they are added. After a few years there are thousands, and no one dares touch the rules whose purpose has been lost. Bexamo visualizes networks, rules, communication paths, and security zones together, so every rule can be understood in its context.

What Bexamo shows

Which systems actually communicate with each other, which rules and zones the traffic passes through, and where rules allow traffic with no known purpose.

Benefits when making changes

Unused rules can be identified and retired based on solid evidence. Unintended access and risky communication paths become visible before they are exploited. And when security zones are redesigned, there is a picture of the actual traffic to start from, not just the intended one.

From inventory to simplification

• Inventory – collect rules, topology, and dependencies.
• Analysis – identify redundancy, conflicts, and risk areas.
• Optimization – simplify the rule set and reduce complexity.
• Maintenance – support ongoing changes and security management.
