Collaborate with Ricardo and his team to co-design the tool that turns tickets into ready-to-review rules
Direct collaboration: on-premises deployment and a direct feedback loop to shape every key feature
After years of handling firewall change requests manually, the same problems kept repeating
Requests arrive with vague descriptions and missing details, forcing you to guess what's needed.
Every ticket must be manually translated from free text into rules, zones, and firewall objects.
Large rulebases with legacy and temporary rules make it hard to see what is still needed.
You repeatedly create similar rules and objects, clicking through the same steps for every request.
A small mistake can break production traffic or quietly introduce serious security gaps.
Changes are urgent, mistakes are visible, and good work often goes unnoticed when nothing breaks.
Most of the time, the work isn’t difficult – it’s repetitive. Yet it still requires constant attention to detail, where mistakes are unforgiving.
From request to safe and documented firewall change – with a human in control
FIRESums runs a discovery script to collect zones, objects, and existing rules, learning naming conventions and patterns from your firewall configuration.
A firewall change request is created in your ticketing system, just like today.
Using a local LLM, FIRESums analyzes the ticket text and correlates the request with your existing firewall configuration.
Based on the analysis, FIRESums proposes a firewall rule tailored to your environment and standards.
The suggested rule is added to the ticket, ready for review, adjustment, or discussion.
You can accept the suggestion, modify it, or ignore it entirely. Nothing is applied automatically.
