FwChange Is Live on Product Hunt
We just launched FwChange on Product Hunt. After 17 years of watching security teams manage firewall changes in spreadsheets, shared drives, and email chains, we built what should have existed a decade ago: one dashboard for 33+ firewall vendors with proper change workflows, AI conflict analysis, and compliance reporting built in.
Why We Built FwChange
The breaking point was a TISAX audit at a Tier-1 automotive supplier in 2024. Their spreadsheet showed 40 firewall change entries for the year. The actual firewall logs showed over 200 changes. The auditor flagged it immediately. That gap — between what security teams document and what actually happens on their firewalls — is the problem FwChange solves.
Enterprise tools like Tufin and AlgoSec exist, but they cost EUR 500,000+ over three years and take months to deploy. Mid-market security teams — the ones managing 5 to 100 firewalls — get priced out and go back to Excel.
What FwChange Does
- 33+ firewall vendors — Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco, Juniper, OPNsense, pfSense, and more. Native API integrations, not SSH wrappers.
- Change workflows — Request, multi-level approval, AI conflict analysis, one-click push to production. Full audit trail on every action.
- AI rule analysis — Shadow rule detection, redundancy identification, overly permissive rule flagging. 18 automated security checks across 4 categories.
- Compliance out of the box — PCI-DSS 4.0, ISO 27001, NIS2, TISAX, KRITIS, DORA, SOX, VAIT, BAIT. Generate audit-ready reports in minutes.
- JIRA and Taiga integration — Link firewall changes directly to tickets. Every change has a paper trail.
- Deploys in under 2 hours — Docker container or managed SaaS. No 6-month implementation projects.
Who It Is For
FwChange is built for security teams managing 5 to 100 firewalls who need proper change management without the enterprise price tag. That includes mid-market companies with small security teams, managed security service providers (MSSPs) handling multiple client environments, and any organization facing PCI-DSS, NIS2, or ISO 27001 audits.
We are not trying to replace Tufin for Fortune 500 companies managing thousands of firewalls globally. We built this for the teams that currently have no solution at all — the ones tracking everything in spreadsheets.
