How does UpTym Networks monitor firewalls?
UpTym Networks monitors firewalls if they are configured using standard IP and SNMP. We currently support Cisco Pix, Watchguard, SonicWall, Guardent, Netscreen, Check Point, and Raptor, among others. We can run specific security scans on firewalls and report on availability. Most important, we accept traps and alerts from an intrusion detection device and/or firewall if the vendor uses SNMP or other standard methods of configuring and collecting traps. Alerting on “unauthorized activity” is typically the most valuable type of information you want to integrate within your view of critical IT devices. In addition, you’re able to track “under the radar” DoS attacks that may not affect service but are still evidence that you are vulnerable to intruders.
