Define Objectives
The first step is to define the objectives of the firewall audit, including the scope of the audit, the specific goals of the audit, and the methodology that will be used.
Gather Information
The auditor will gather information about the firewall being audited, including its configuration, policies, and rules. This may involve reviewing documentation, interviewing IT staff, and analyzing network traffic.
Analyze Firewall Configuration
The auditor will analyze the firewall configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly, including checking that the firewall is up to date and that there are no unnecessary or unused rules.
Analyze Firewall Policies
The auditor will analyze the firewall policies to ensure that they are effective and in compliance with any applicable regulations or standards. This may involve reviewing logs to see if any unauthorized access attempts were made.
Analyze Firewall Rules
The auditor will analyze the firewall rules to ensure that they are properly configured and provide adequate protection for the network. This may involve identifying any rules that are redundant or ineffective.
Conduct Vulnerability Assessment
The auditor will perform a vulnerability assessment to identify any weaknesses in the firewall, including any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.
Report Findings
The auditor will compile a report of their findings, including any issues that were identified during the audit and recommendations for addressing those issues.
Provide Recommendations
The auditor will provide recommendations for addressing any issues that were identified during the audit, including any necessary changes to the firewall configuration or policies.

Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is an essential process for identifying and analyzing potential security weaknesses in a system, network, or application. It helps organizations to proactively identify vulnerabilities and prioritize their mitigation efforts to reduce the risk of a cyber attack. When it comes to firewall security, a vulnerability assessment can help to identify potential weaknesses that may allow an attacker to bypass or exploit the firewall. A vulnerability assessment can be performed on a firewall by scanning it with various tools that test for known vulnerabilities or by conducting penetration testing to simulate real-world attack scenarios.
