Be it a Network Operations Manager,
Security Architect or a Security Auditor, the people up the hierarchy always
harangue the Security Engineers to compile the list of firewall objects or
rules or policies or the traffic statistics and so on.. This can turn out to be
quite hectic especially if there are no built in features to systematically
provide the output in a "layman-readable" format.
Come, Checkpoint's "Object
Explorer..." which not only provides the output in the
"layman-readable" format, but also provides in-built filtering
mechanisms, thereby ensuring that the Security Engineer doesn't have to rely on
Google for building his scarce Microsoft Excel data filtering skills.
The following screenshots will show
how easy it is, with Checkpoint R80.10 to generate the firewall configuration
inventory.
On the SmartConsole Unified Portal, navigate to Menu >> Open Object Explorer...
Select the Categories you wish to see in your output:
Click on Actions >> Export:
Open the CSV file using Microsoft Excel or Libre Office and there you go:
The same can be done for Network
Objects, VPN Communities, Users, and so on..
Happy Checkpointing!!
