Network Security Tip of the Week [4]

What’s in a name? This week’s network security tip addresses this question as it relates to firewalls. Optimizing firewall rules and reducing complexity is important according to Danny, a security compliance manager in Canada…

“The single most important aspect of sound firewalling, is naming conventions. Ensure all objects and rules follow these conventions.”
