PART IV
Administering a Security Policy
Network security is more than just designing and implementing a security policy and
copying the resulting configuration file to a WatchGuard Firebox. Truly effective
network security requires constant vigilance and ongoing adaptation to changing
business needs. WatchGuard provides the following functionality for administering
your security policy:
Aliases and Authentication
Control access to services by requiring users to identify themselves. In
addition to our own authentication scheme, WatchGuard also supports
Windows NT, RADIUS, CRYPTOCard, and SecurID server authentication.
Use host aliases to speed configuration of authentication and service
properties.
Firebox Activity Monitors
Firebox Monitors displays real-time traffic through your Firebox. View
bandwidth usage, dynamically and manually blocked sites, and Firebox
status. Use HostWatch to monitor active connections and LogViewer to read
and print a log file.
Network Activity Reports
Use the Web-based Historical Reports utility to build, display, modify, and
print reports of activity through the Firebox.
