Design and Implementation of a Global Manager System for Firewall Devices

Overview A firewall is a security device placed between an internal network and the Internet. It is designed to protect the internal network from unauthorized user access. Various firewalls are widely used in many organizations. Due to the spread of various firewalls, a secure and flexible Firewall Global Manager (FGM) is necessary. For flexibility, the global manager must be divided into components and needs an open management protocol, such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Yet the SNMP has a security defect and a Management Information Base (MIB) for firewalls is insufficient. This paper explores the topic of a global manager for secure and flexible firewall management.
