Firewall Maintenance Checklist
Firewall maintenance is recurring operational work. If nobody owns it, the rulebase drifts, firmware ages, and the environment becomes harder to trust.
We can quickly review your setup and show you what’s working and what needs improvement.
Checklist
- Confirm configuration backups are current
- Review firmware and support status
- Check HA state and recent failover history
- Review VPN health and stale peers
- Review logging and alerting quality
- Clean up old rules and objects
For recurring ownership, see managed firewall services.
