Analysis of Firewall Policy Rules Using Data Mining Techniques
Overview Firewall is the de facto core technology of network security and defense. However, the management of firewall rules has been proven to be complex, error-prone, costly and inefficient for many large-networked organizations. These firewall rules are mostly custom-designed and hand-written thus in constant need for tuning and validation, due to the dynamic nature of the traffic characteristics, ever-changing network environment and its market demands. One of the main problems addressed in this paper is that how much the firewall rules are useful, up-to-dated, well-organized or efficient to reflect the current characteristics of network traffics. The paper presents a set of techniques and algorithms to analysis and manages firewall policy rules.
