Hi, I just shifted to IT Audit field. I was wondering If there is any audit program can help me auditing my 2 Firewalls Fortigate NGX-R60 and Sidewinder. I am not sure where to start from , and I wanted your advice especially those who conducted Auditing for FWs. Our firewalls are in production, am I supposed to test them from different subnets ? such as plugging my laptop to the DMZ and run my tools ? Of course you know testing FW?s in productions moght not take effect if idid my test from the LAN or the internet since there will be IPS which will reset my Scanner. Also I want to know , As an IT Auditor, am i supposed to have access to the FW ( eg. Read only access to check the rules /ACLs ) or shall I ask for a copy of these rules ? I mean is there a standard being followed and what can help me get good observations. regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
