We provide tools that let you simulate traffic flow based on a specific set
of conditions defined in a security rule. By entering the necessary parameters such as
source and destination IP addresses, ports, and applications, you can simulate the
traffic flow and observe how your configuration would process it based on the
configured security rules. This provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of
the Security policy, which lets you verify if the security actions you intend, such
as allowing or denying traffic, are correctly applied as per the security rules. You
can also identify any misconfigurations or conflicts that might affect the policy's
behavior.
Regularly testing security rules is essential for maintaining an
efficient security posture. It enables you to adapt security rules to changing network
requirements and evolving threat landscapes. By conducting thorough tests and
fine-tuning security rules accordingly, you can ensure that your configuration
operates optimally, providing reliable protection against a variety of cyberthreats.
