Manage Cisco and Juniper firewalls together

Firewall Sync

Playbook acquires your firewall rules directly and puts them in a web console. To make a rule change that affects every firewall in your enterprise, there’s a single place to write and track the change. All your changes are tracked. When it’s time to deploy the change, you click a button, and Playbook handles the drama.

Intelligent Search

Playbook fully parses firewall rules and indexes them based on their semantic meaning. It can quickly answer ques- tions about which rules reference hosts, protocols, and ports, across multiple device types.

Firewall Rule Analysis

Because Playbook fully understands the rules that it manages, it can detect common syntax errors and flag them before allowing the network to be disrupted by broken configurations.
