Monitor Firewalls with SecQube's Portal

SecQube Firewall monitoring is critical for several reasons:

1. Detect Threats: Monitoring your firewalls lets you detect potential threats or malicious activities in real-time. By continuously examining the traffic that passes through the firewall, you can identify patterns or behaviours that may indicate a security threat.
2. Prevent Breaches: Continuous firewall monitoring can help prevent security breaches. If a potential threat is detected, immediate action can be taken to neutralise it, preventing it from penetrating your network.
3. Compliance: Many regulations and standards require regular firewall monitoring. By continuously monitoring your firewall, you can ensure that you are meeting these requirements and avoid potential fines or penalties.
4. Performance Optimisation: Monitoring the firewall also helps to ensure it is performing optimally. If the firewall is not working efficiently, it can slow down the network and reduce productivity.
5. Incident Response: If a security incident does occur, having detailed logs from your firewall can help in the investigation and remediation process. It provides valuable information about the incident, such as when it occurred, how it happened, and what systems were affected.
6. Proactive Security: Regular monitoring allows for a more proactive approach to security.

Instead of waiting for a breach to occur, you can identify patterns or behaviours that may indicate a security threat by continuously examining the traffic that passes through the firewall, thereby identifying and addressing potential threats before they become a problem.
