FirewallScan vs security consultants
Consultants bring valuable expertise — but their review is a costly snapshot that ages the moment they leave. FirewallScan gives you continuous coverage between and beyond engagements.
Where security consultants help — and where they don't
A good security consultant brings deep expertise and an outside perspective, and a focused engagement can be genuinely valuable. But a consultant review is expensive, point-in-time, and outdated as soon as your configuration changes — which it does constantly.
Engagements are also infrequent by nature; few organizations can afford to bring consultants back every month. That leaves long stretches where no one is systematically reviewing the firewall at all.
- High cost limits how often you can engage them
- The review is a snapshot that ages immediately
- Long gaps between engagements with no coverage
FirewallScan vs security consultants
Better together
Use consultants for strategy, FirewallScan for coverage
FirewallScan and consultants are complementary. Bring in consultants for strategy, architecture and specialized assessments — and let FirewallScan handle the continuous, day-to-day firewall review in between.
Many teams even hand FirewallScan reports to their consultants as a head start, so expensive expert time goes toward judgment and design rather than rediscovering basic misconfigurations.
- Continuous coverage between consultant engagements
- Consultants focus on strategy, not basic findings
- Reports that give your consultants a running start
