Firewall security for government & public sector
Government networks hold sensitive citizen data and face relentless attack. FirewallScan keeps FortiGate configurations hardened, segmented and continuously evidenced — with EU-first data handling.
The firewall challenges government faces
Public sector networks are large, long-lived and often built from many independently managed systems. Firewall rule bases reflect that history: complex, layered and difficult to review comprehensively with the staff available.
At the same time, government is a top target for nation-state and criminal attackers, and the data at stake — citizen records, critical services — could not be more sensitive. The gap between review capacity and risk is wide.
- Sprawling rule bases from many legacy and inherited systems
- Limited specialist staff to perform deep manual reviews
- High-value target for sophisticated attackers
- Strict data-residency and sovereignty requirements
Baselines public sector must meet
Government bodies operate under demanding security baselines and increasingly under EU-wide directives.
NIS2
Brings public administration and essential services under stricter EU obligations for network security and incident resilience.
ISO 27001
A common baseline for public bodies, requiring documented, regularly reviewed network controls.
CIS Controls
Widely adopted by government as a prioritized baseline emphasizing segmentation and secure configuration.
