ManageEngine (News - Alert), the real-time IT management company, has released a new version of its firewall log and configuration monitoring software, Firewall Analyzer. In the latest version of Firewall Analyzer, a security category finalist in the 'Best of Interop (News - Alert) 2012,' the company added support for "IPFIX with extensions."


The software also offers user-group VPN reports, application reports for Check Point and SonicWALL (News - Alert), and a dedicated compliance section for monitoring firewall rules and change management.

According to a press release, IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) is the NetFlow standard that is vendor agnostic. With increasing adoption of IPFIX in Enterprise IT organizations, Firewall Analyzer now supports 'IPFIX with extensions' flow reporting for SonicWALL firewalls running SonicOS 5.8.x.

'IPFIX with extensions' provides support for both static and dynamic flows, which allows enterprises to gain insight into application traffic analysis, bandwidth monitoring, threat detection, user activity tracking, VPN usage and much more.

"IPFIX offers scalability, less network overhead, better correlation and quicker query responses, which makes it a better alternative to syslogs," said Pravin Kumar, product manager for ManageEngine. "Firewall Analyzer 7.4 now helps SMEs to further unlock the real value of their network security devices by supporting standards like IPFIX."

Firewall Analyzer is agent-less log analytics and configuration management software for network security devices. The product is used for end-point security monitoring and analysis, change management, employee internet monitoring, bandwidth monitoring, capacity planning, policy enforcement and security and compliance audit reporting.

Firewall Analyzer is vendor-agnostic and supports almost all open source and commercial network firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, proxies and related security devices.

Other advanced functionalities introduced in the latest version of Firewall Analyzer include, ‘Dedicated Compliance Section’ for viewing firewall change management reports and alerts, ‘User-group VPN Reports’ for providing VPN usage details for a group of users and Application Reports for Check Point and SonicWALL.
