Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for comparing firewall policies are described. In one aspect, a system includes a first gateway configured to implement a first firewall having a first policy, a second gateway configured to implement a second firewall having a second policy, and a computing device configured to compare the first policy with the second policy to determine whether the first policy matches the second policy. The first firewall and the second firewall may be implemented with different technologies and/or on different platforms. The computing device may operate as, or execute, a firewall comparison tool to parse raw firewall configuration data from the different firewalls and generate data structures with a common format so that the firewall policies may be compared.
