Conducting an Evaluation of Firewall Security

SonicWall AI for Monitoring & Insight (SAMI) can be used for diagnosing or uncovering the root causes of issues related to a specific firewall via Network Security Manager (NSM) SaaS.

In this example, the following information allows the user to quickly evaluate the firewall's health and configuration status. It enables the user to verify that the firewall is online and properly managed, with all necessary security services enabled. Understanding the High Availability (HA) status is particularly valuable in grasping the firewall's redundancy setup and operational status. The details about the licenses and group membership offer insights into the firewall's capabilities and organizational structure. Lastly, knowing the time of the last backup is crucial for recovery planning in case a rollback is necessary.

   SAMI verifies that the user has at least Read-Only permissions to access information about the specified firewall.

   SAMI then proceeds to collect the necessary details from NSM SaaS for the specified firewall.
