Cisco Firewall Auditv1.0.0

A bank's security team uses this skill to perform a quarterly PCI DSS audit of their ASA firewalls, reviewing ACL rules for overly permissive entries, verifying NAT policy, and ensuring logging is complete. The audit identifies unused rules and recommends cleanup to meet compliance requirements.

After a security breach, a hospital uses the skill to analyze how the attacker traversed their FTD firewall, examining ACP rule ordering, Snort IPS alerts, and VPN configurations. The assessment finds a misconfigured prefilter policy that bypassed inspection, leading to policy corrections.

A large corporation plans to migrate from legacy ASA to FTD firewalls. The skill is used to document existing ACLs, NAT rules, and MPF policies on the ASA, creating a baseline configuration that ensures policy continuity and identifies gaps in FTD's ACP model.

A government agency conducts an annual review of their multi-context ASA firewalls, auditing security levels, interface ACLs, and failover status. The skill helps verify that inter-context traffic follows least-privilege principles and that HA configurations are robust.

An MSSP uses the skill to audit multiple client firewalls (both ASA and FTD) from a single methodology, ensuring consistent policy review across different platforms. The skill's dual-platform coverage allows efficient assessment of diverse environments.

Offer quarterly or annual firewall audits as a subscription service, leveraging the skill to produce standardized compliance reports. Revenue is generated through recurring fees per firewall or per organization.

Provide consulting for ASA-to-FTD migrations, using the skill to baseline the current ASA configuration and validate the post-migration FTD policy. Revenue comes from fixed-fee or hourly consulting engagements.

Incorporate firewall policy audit as a standard step in incident response engagements, helping clients understand how an incident occurred and preventing recurrence. Revenue is included in the overall incident response fee.
