Search to find all rules that handle a protocol

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.

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.

Device, Rule, Host, and Protocol Documentation

Playbook has a powerful, version-controlled wiki. Every device Playbook manages has a wiki page for documentation. Better yet, firewall rules themselves refer to hosts and ports and protocols. They all get pages too; it’s a single click to add a page for a host in a rule. So don’t worry. Go ahead and take a vacation for once. Your team will be able to pick up the pieces.

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.

Searchable, Syndicatable Timeline

All changes and events in Playbook are tracked in a continuous timeline, which can be queried and filtered by device and kind. Engineers can also securely subscribe to the timeline in an RSS feed reader to stay up to date with network changes.
