Key benefits of SecurFirewall
Consistent security across Fortinet & WatchGuard
- Standardized security policies across locations and platforms, with vendor-specific best practices applied for both Fortinet and WatchGuard devices.
- Consolidated visibility into rules, VPNs, and events, so you’re not bouncing between random device GUIs.
- Reduced configuration drift across sites, branches, and data centers.
Cleaner policies, less risk
- Regular rule reviews to remove or tighten legacy, “any/any,” and duplicate rules.
- Clear naming standards, comments, and grouping so policies are understandable by humans, not just devices.
- Fewer overly-permissive rules, which means a smaller attack surface and easier audits.
Proactive monitoring & incident support
- 24×7 monitoring of firewall health, VPN status, high-availability pairs, and key security events.
- Alerting and triage for critical conditions: link failures, device failover, CPU/memory issues, and suspicious traffic patterns.
- Rapid involvement of DataComm engineers when something’s wrong—no guessing who owns the firewall.
Structured change management
- Formal change process for new rules, VPNs, and NATs—no more ad hoc “just add this quickly” edits with no record.
- Impact-aware changes with pre-checks and, when needed, backout plans.
- Change history and documentation that makes security reviews and audits much simpler.
“With SecurFirewall, our Fortinet and WatchGuard firewalls finally feel ‘managed,’ not just installed—and audit season is a lot less stressful.”
How SecurFirewall works
SecurFirewall from DataComm delivers fully managed firewall operations for Fortinet and WatchGuard environments. We handle configuration, monitoring, policy hygiene, and change management so your firewalls stay locked down, compliant, and aligned with the business—not just “good enough to keep running.”
Discover & baseline
We start by reviewing your existing Fortinet and WatchGuard firewalls, models, firmware, and topology; capturing current rule sets, objects, VPNs, and remote-access configurations; and understanding business requirements such as critical apps, trusted/partner networks, remote access, and compliance drivers. From this, we build a baseline security and configuration standard for your environment.
Standardize & harden
Next, we align configurations with proven best practices for your Fortinet and WatchGuard platforms (administrative access, logging, VPN encryption, interfaces), normalize objects and rule naming so policies are readable and maintainable, and close obvious gaps such as overly-broad rules, unused objects, or shadowed policies.
Monitor & operate
Once in steady state, SecurFirewall monitors device health, high availability status, key services (VPN, routing, interfaces), and critical alerts; reviews logs and events for recurring issues or indicators of misconfiguration or attack; and manages firmware/OS upgrade planning and execution in alignment with your maintenance windows.
Manage change safely
We become your firewall change desk—intaking and validating change requests (new rules, NAT, VPNs, IP changes, site additions); assessing risk and recommending safer alternatives where possible; and implementing changes, testing, and documenting them, with rollback plans where needed.
Report & continuously improve
On a recurring basis, we provide reports summarizing changes, incidents, and policy health; highlight risky rules, noisy policies, and recurring issues; and recommend structural improvements—segmentation, new security profiles, or architecture changes—where they add value.
