Firewall management

USE CASE As the unit implemented the provisions of the NIS2 directive, it became necessary to implement a tool to monitor and manage firewall settings on computers in the organization. Responding to the requirements of Article 23 of the directive, the unit prepared to centrally manage firewall settings on all computers in the unit.

• Thus, the system provides central and secure management of firewall settings.In the above way, the unit has raised security standards by subscribing to the rules of the NIS2 directive. Learn more about firewall management https://www.eauditor.eu/zdalne-zarzadzanie-zapora-firewall
