FAQPage Schema
How do I check host and gateway firewall posture for security reviews?

Check host and gateway firewall posture by running status checks like host_monitor_status and gateway_firewall_status to progressively broaden from a narrow security view to posture, drift, and alert contexts. This workflow quickly summarizes current posture and flags new external destinations.

What is firewall baseline drift and how do I detect it on local hosts?

Firewall baseline drift is the unintended change of gateway or host firewall rules over time. Detect drift using GuardianAgent to track rule changes against established baselines, progressively broadening the security view to identify posture deviations and flag new external destinations.

How do I triage firewall security alerts during an incident?

Triage firewall security alerts during an incident by using GuardianAgent to summarize alert hygiene and correlate it with firewall posture data. The workflow utilizes security_alert_search to broaden the investigation context and minimize risk through strict guardrails for alert handling.

Does GuardianAgent support tracking gateway firewall rule changes?

Yes, GuardianAgent supports tracking gateway firewall rule changes. By utilizing the gateway_firewall_status check, you can audit gateway posture, track drift in rules, and summarize alert hygiene to effectively minimize security risk across local hosts and gateways.

What's the best way to audit host firewall posture and flag new external destinations?

The best way to audit host firewall posture is to run a quick check in GuardianAgent that uses host_monitor_status to summarize current configurations and flag any new external destinations, progressively broadening the view to include drift and alert contexts.
