Open Source Firewalls, Managed Better Than Checkpoint

With full support for the major open source firewall engines, plus intelligent search, change control, and one-click deployment, Playbook makes an OpenBSD firewall run as smoothly as any commercial device. Playbook slashes total cost of ownership, so you can spend your budget on training and staffing instead of license fees.

Configure and track Cisco devices alongside everything else

No matter what your standard firewall build is, chances are somewhere you've got a bunch of Cisco firewalls. Playbook frees you from proprietary tools and homebrew management scripts, bringing PIX, FWSM and ASA devices under the same umbrella as the rest of your security devices.

Playbook is backed with industrial-strength version control

Under the hood, Playbook manages a Subversion repository, transparently handling branching, merging, access control, and history tracking. So every firewall rule you enter is backed up and committed, searchable, and browseable. Roll back any set of changes with the push of a button. Roll back a whole firewall to a specific date. Software developers have had this feature for years --- now you do too.

let engineers be engineers

workflow and change review lets playbook (and support staff) do the boring stuff

Delegate routine change management tasks to NOC staff

They're your most expensive, most valuable asset, and they have projects they want to get done that will streamline and secure your network. But engineers are paralyzed by change control process. Rescue them from 2-hour meetings! Playbook offers workflow, authorization, review and change window features, so your NOC can handle the boring stuff.

stop being the bad cop

playbook speeds up your firewall change process, getting better answers to customers faster.

Work faster and impress your internal and external customers

Protecting networks from constant attacks is a tough job, and one of the most important in the enterprise. But your customers don't love you for it. They want applications deployed in DMZs and customer connections, they don't want to hear "no" for an answer, and they want it done yesterday. Playbook speeds up your firewall change process, so your customers get better answers, faster and more predictably.

stop all zero day attacks

Bayesian anomaly models with histographic security analyzes line-rate 10G traffic, with ninjas.

Playbook also does your dishes and creates zero-point energy.

Using sophisticated Bayesian anomaly models and a histographic security engine, Playbook analyzes line-speed 10G traffic in real time, applying patented algorithms to solve the halting problem and reconstruct the actual intent of packets on the wire. It then dispatches ninjas --- yes actual ninjas --- to remove threats before they threaten you. Playbook also does a great job of managing your firewall rules.
