NGX-R60 is not from Fortinet but from Checkpoint. Do you have a
Fortigate? or do you have a Checkpoint?

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 FWâs 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.
