Automate deployment of firewall rules
Firewall Sync
Playbook is firewall sync. It works by creating a central web console for all your firewalling devices. The console grabs your firewall rules and places them under version control, so your team can work on them with change tracking, review, and rollback. Then, when you’re ready to deploy a change, you click a button and Playbook handles the details.
Role Based Access Control
Playbook supports role-based access control. You can restrict which firewalls different administrators can view. By default, administrators can propose but not approve changes to real firewalls. And only a subset of administrators, called "deployers", can actually push changes to firewalls, so that you can enforce change windows.
Push-Button Deployment
Say you have 25 firewalls. Right now, to make a rule change, you have to log into 25 devices and issue commands. Playbook eliminates that problem. It establishes an authenticated connection to the device, which it uses to deploy changes from authorized users. Firewall rule changes no longer require engineers to directly log in to management consoles.
Playbook Simplifies Your Life. Here's How:
- Use tickets to manage firewall change requests
- Review firewall changes before deployment
