Other popular use cases for PolarProxy is to inspect encrypted traffic from IoT devices and other embedded products or to analyze otherwise encrypted traffic from mobile phones and tablets. The fact that PolarProxy exports the decrypted traffic in a decrypted format without any TLS headers also enables users to inspect the decrypted traffic with products that don’t support TLS decryption, such as intrusion detection and network forensics products like Suricata, Zeek and NetworkMiner.Continue reading Decrypting TLS Traffic with PolarProxy →Receive notifications of new posts by email. Before powering on your FortiGate VM you must configure the virtual memory, virtual CPU, and virtual disk configuration to match your FortiGate VM license. To configure settings for FortiGate VM on the server: In the Hyper-V Manager, locate the name of the virtual machine, right-click the entry, and select Settings from the menu.This is a guest blog post by Erik Hjelmvik, an e xpert in network forensics and network security monitoring at NETRESEC.In addition to Fortinet FortiGate Firewalls, we sell the complete line of Fortinet Appliances and Services including FortiAP Wireless Access Points.I have a Fortigate VM firewall port 1 IP 192.168.132.5 on vmnet8(NAT) in VMWare, host vmnet8(NAT) IP 192.168.132.1, guest VM IP is issued by DHCP from Fortigate firewall (working). I have a static route to host vmnet8(NAT). The firewall VM and guest VM can ping host vmnet8(NAT) interface but do not get internet.The VM its very quick for deployment.
What we've found through their IPS and IDS is that their vulnerability engines have caught things that are near-Zero-day items, inside of our network." "The IPS, as well as the malware features, are the two things that we use the most and they're very valuable." "The protection and security features, like URL filtering, the inspection, and the IPS feature, are also very valuable for us. Those are the biggest things because we have some odd, custom-made products in our environment. We find them very helpful. "The most valuable features of Cisco firewalls are the IPS and IDS items.
The original ASA firewall did not have these features. So that is a major reason they were looking forward to this. Also, the ability to replace a piece of equipment and deploy the config that the previous piece of equipment had is pretty useful." "They wanted to leverage something which is equivalent that can give them the next gen features like application awareness and intrusion protection.
This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days." "We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered." "The virtual firewall feature is the most valuable. Now, notifications are more proactively happening."More Cisco Firepower NGFW Firewall Pros »"The most valuable feature is the VDOM, which allows the customer to have multiple firewalls in a single campus." "SSL-VPN is very useful for us and has been very reliable." "Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable." "We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. Also, if an issue was happening with our throughput, then we wouldn't know without research. This allows all devices on the network to communicate." "Being able to determine our active users vs inactive users has led us to increased productivity through visibility. They have something called pxGrid and i think it is already endorsed by IETF. Now they can go ahead and leverage those functionalities." "The Firepower+ISE+AMP for endpoint integration is something that really stands it out with other vendor solutions.
You don't need much expertise to work on this firewall. It is user friendly and has a good UI. We did not buy individual hardware, and the virtual firewalls made sense because we don't have to keep on buying the hardware.FortiGate is easier to use as compared to Checkpoint devices.
The pages can be very buggy, or you can't resize columns in this one, or you can't do certain things in that one. The problem is, depending on the page you're on, they don't function in the same way. I've had Cisco tell me to manage it through Firefox because that's how they develop it. You manage FireSIGHT through an internet browser. It gives you a seamless and simple integration into a large network.""The worst part of the entire solution, and this is kind of trivial at times, is that management of the solution is difficult.
For Firepower, the user interface is not very user-friendly. If you look at products we already use, like Cisco Prime or other products that are cloud-based, they have a more modern user interface for managing the products. If we activate too many intrusion policies, it affects the CPU." "The user interface for the Firepower management console is a little bit different from traditional Cisco management tools. We sometimes have issues with the 41 series, depending what we activate.
If Cisco could enhance this, so that upgrades would not necessarily require downtime, that would be helpful." "We had an event recently where we had inbound traffic for SIP and we experienced an attack against our SIP endpoint, such that they were able to successfully make calls out. In addition, sometimes we have downtime during the maintenance windows. If there is an issue that forces us to do recovery, we have to restart or reboot.
Palo Alto already has implemented this as a pilot passed processing. That is something that can be improved upon. That is something that causes delays in the network, from a security perspective. For example, content checking or filtering will be done in a field processing manner.
You need to have a specific skill set. Cisco already has an on-premises sandbox solution." "The central management tool is not comfortable to use. Internal function that is something that they can improve upon." "The product line does not address the SMB market as it is supposed to do. Instead of single processing or in a sequential manner, they can do something similar to pile processing. So, something similar can be done in the Cisco Firepower.
From the product perspective, there are no issues, but from the account perspective, we have had issues.Fortinet's presence in our company is very less. Initially, when we started off, we had around 70 plus devices of FortiGate, but then Check Point and Palo Alto took over the place. We have been using it for quite some time. I was slightly irritated that it was not ready on time, but it was eventually resolved." "We would like to see a better training platform implemented." "FortiGate is really good. The PC client was available immediately, but we had to wait a month or so, before there was a mac client.
FortiGate firewalls are very less now. Out of these, 60% of firewalls are from Palo Alto, and a few firewalls are from Check Point. We have close to 1,500 firewalls.
Fortinet Fortigate Vm How To Use This
They're too high." "We normally license on a yearly basis.The hardware procurement cost should be considered. The relationship between their accounts team and my leadership team seems to be the reason for phasing out FortiGate." "In the next release, maybe the documentation on how to use this solution could be improved." "I think there could be more QoS features""Our subscription costs, just for the firewalls, is between $400,000 and $500,000 a year." "Cisco's pricing is high, at times, for what they provide." "The one-time cost is affordable, but the maintenance cost and the Smart Net costs need to be reduced. I don't think they had a good relationship with us, and there was some kind of disconnect for a very long time.
