CyberCNS can evaluate the security policy of your Sonicwall Firewall and flag any potential shortcomings. You can initiate a Firewall Scan from the Integrations menu.

Navigate to Integrations

  1. In the CyberCNS portal, navigate to Global Settings() > Integrations and choose Sonicwall from the integrations listed.

  2. Next, is to add credentials for your Sonicwall firewall.

Enter Credentials

  • Credentials should have ssh access to the firewall from the probe agent system.

  • Please note that the special characters in the password will cause the firewall scans/setup to fail. Some of these characters to avoid in the password are !@#<>$|.

3. Enter Name: Choose a name of your choice for the credentials to be added.

4. Enter Hostname/IP Address: Enter a Hostname/IP address for the credentials to be added.

5. Enter Port Number: Enter the Port Number for the credentials to be added.

6. Enter Username: Enter the username used to log in to SonicWall Firewall. It is recommended that you define a special username to be used exclusively for these scans so that they can be identified in the firewall’s logs.

7. Enter Password: Enter the password used to log in to SonicWall Firewall.

8. Select an associated company: Select the existing company in order to add the firewall as an asset of that company.

7. Select Probe/Agent: Select a Probe/Agent of the selected company to be used for the scan. If no agent is installed for the company, an external scan agent can be used to initiate firewall scans from the CyberCNS Server (e.g abc.mycybercns.com).

8. Once all the data have been entered, click Save.

Note that multiple credentials can be added by using the '+' sign. Each set of credentials can be attached to a company and then to an agent under that company.

After the credentials have been successfully added to the company, the Firewalls tab will be added to the Main Menu.

9. In the Firewalls section, click Firewall Scan to initiate a scan of all the configured firewalls.

10. When the scan is complete, details of the Network interface, Node license, Interfaces, Users, Groups, Access groups, Security license, System Info, Authentication, Support License, Security Service, and Zones will be populated for SonicWall Firewall.

Completed firewall scans are listed with timestamps as shown below. To view the results of a scan, click the scan in the list.

The scan results can be be downloaded as a report in the Microsoft Word .docx format by clicking Download Report.

This completes the documentation of the Sonicwall Firewall Scan..
