Closing the Configuration Gap: Best Practices for Building and Proving Firewall Security Posture

More About This Event

Most breaches do not start with a missing product. They start with a misconfigured one. Firewalls get deployed, licensed, and running the right services, yet rules drift, temporary exceptions linger, and configurations quietly fall out of step with best practices long after go live. Whether you manage one organization or many customer environments as an MSP or MSSP, the result is the same: unmanaged risk sitting in plain sight. This practical briefing shows how to close that gap. Through real-world examples of secure by default configuration and continuous posture scoring, you will learn how to: Reduce your exposed attack surface starting from secure defaults Catch configuration drift before it becomes a breach Standardize and monitor security posture across a mixed fleet, without adding headcount This session is a practical briefing on closing that gap: starting from secure defaults to reduce what can go wrong, and catching drift before it becomes a breach. We will cover how IT teams and service providers alike can shrink their exposed attack surface with less manual effort, and standardize and monitor security posture across a mixed fleet of environments without adding headcount. Along the way, we will show real-world examples of secure by default configuration and continuous posture scoring in action, with the focus staying on practices and habits any team can adopt without adding headcount.
