PLEASANTON, Calif. - July 31, 2012 —ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced the immediate availability of "IPFIX with extensions" in its firewall log and configuration monitoring software, Firewall Analyzer. The 'Best of Interop 2012' security category finalist, Firewall Analyzer also gains user-group VPN reports, application reports for Check Point and SonicWALL, and a dedicated compliance section for monitoring firewall rules and change management.

IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) is the NetFlow standard that is vendor neutral. With increasing adoption of IPFIX in Enterprise IT organizations, Firewall Analyzer now supports 'IPFIX with extensions' flow reporting for SonicWALL firewalls running SonicOS 5.8.x. 'IPFIX with extensions' supports both static and dynamic flows and provides unparalleled insight into application traffic analysis, bandwidth monitoring, threat detection, user activity tracking, VPN usage, and more.

"IPFIX offers scalability, less network overhead, better correlation and quicker query responses, which makes it a better alternative to syslogs," said Pravin Kumar, product manager, ManageEngine. "Firewall Analyzer 7.4 now helps SMEs to further unlock the real value of their network security devices by supporting standards like IPFIX."

Firewall Analyzer is agent-less log analytics and configuration management software for network security devices. The product is used for end-point security monitoring and analysis, change management, employee internet monitoring, bandwidth monitoring, capacity planning, policy enforcement, and security and compliance audit reporting. Firewall Analyzer is vendor-agnostic and supports almost all open source and commercial network firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, proxies and related security devices.

Network Security Monitoring Enhancements

The latest version of Firewall Analyzer introduces advanced functionality that facilitates effortless and effective network security monitoring with features such as:

  • Dedicated Compliance Section: A single-pane-of-glass console for configuring device rules, viewing firewall change management reports and alerts.
  • User-group VPN Reports: Provides VPN usage details for a group of users with details on number of hits, duration of usage, and total bytes of VPN traffic.
