How It Works

Vendor-Agnostic Normalization

FwChange translates vendor-specific configurations into a unified rule format, allowing you to work with all your firewalls using consistent terminology.

1

Driver Architecture

Each vendor has a dedicated driver implementing a common interface. Add new vendors by implementing the same interface.

2

Rule Normalization

Vendor-specific rules are converted to a normalized format for analysis, optimization, and approval workflows.

3

Push to Device

Approved changes are translated back to vendor-specific syntax and pushed via the appropriate API.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you store firewall credentials?

All credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Credentials are only decrypted in memory during API calls and never logged or exposed.

Can I manage mixed vendor environments?

Yes. FwChange is designed for heterogeneous firewall fleets. Manage Palo Alto at the perimeter, Fortinet at branches, and Check Point in the datacenter—all from one platform.

What if my vendor isn't supported?

We can develop custom drivers for enterprise customers. Contact us with your vendor and API documentation, and we'll provide an integration timeline.

Which versions are supported?

We support the last 2-3 major releases of each vendor. Check the detailed integration table above for specific version numbers tested with your firewall.
