Overview

Firewall and Access Control List (ACL) validation is a critical process in ensuring network security and operational efficiency. This involves thorough testing of firewall rules and ACL configurations to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security gaps that could expose systems to unauthorized access or attacks. Effective validation guarantees that firewall policies enforce the intended protections while preserving smooth network performance. This content explores essential aspects of Firewall & ACL Validation, including automated testing, compliance alignment, and real-time monitoring.
