VALIDATION ENGINE FOR FIREWALL MIGRATION

Abstract: log data is gathered from the first firewall. the log data includes first firewall activity and actions responsive to past traffic. production traffic can then be simulated by running the gathered log data of first firewall activity through the second firewall. the simulation results are analyzed to rate configuration settings including whether policy lookups are successful and retrieving a policy id for successful policy lookups. invalid lookups are identified. the configuration settings of the second firewall are automatically adjusted (e.g., with a ne rule) with respect to the invalid lookups. the second firewall configuration settings are validated based on the automatic adjustments.
