Why Security Teams Choose Rampart

Rampart performs deep Palo Alto security policy analysis to uncover security gaps, exposure paths, and compliance failures that traditional PAN-OS config reviews often miss.

Built Specifically for Palo Alto

Most firewall auditing platforms attempt to support dozens of vendors. Rampart focuses exclusively on Palo Alto Networks, enabling deeper and more accurate analysis.

Understands App-ID behaviour, zone-based policy logic, SSL/TLS decryption policies, application-default ports, and Palo Alto best-practice policy structure.

Simulate Traffic Without Touching the Firewall

Test how the firewall would process real traffic scenarios β€” source/destination IP, zones, applications, ports, and protocols. See exactly which rule would match.

Perfect for validating segmentation, troubleshooting rule behaviour, and reviewing proposed changes safely.

Reveal Your True Attack Surface

Complex rulebases make it difficult to understand what traffic is actually allowed. Rampart generates a Zone Exposure Matrix showing every permitted inter-zone path.

Quickly identify unintended internet exposure, excessive internal access, weak segmentation boundaries, and lateral movement opportunities.

Detect Data Exfiltration & Encryption Blind Spots

Many firewall audits focus only on inbound threats. Rampart also analyses outbound traffic risk and identifies traffic bypassing SSL/TLS decryption.

Unrestricted outbound internet access, DNS-based exfiltration vectors, common C2 ports, and decryption policy gaps β€” real attack paths, not just configuration mistakes.

Measure Security with the Rampart Score

A composite security score based on configuration risk, segmentation strength, and Palo Alto best practices β€” graded A through F for clear executive communication.

Track improvements over time, demonstrate remediation progress, and communicate risk to management with a single, defensible metric.

Multi-Framework Compliance

Score your configuration against twelve regulatory frameworks in a single pass β€” with per-control pass/fail detail and remediation guidance. When auditors ask for evidence, Rampart's compliance reports are the answer.

PCI-DSS Requirement 1 (firewall configuration), ISO 27001 A.13 (network security), NIST 800-53, ASD Essential Eight, HIPAA, CIS Benchmarks, SOX, GDPR, APRA CPS 234, DISA STIG (PANW NDM / ALG / IDPS), CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171 (US DoD CUI), and EU NIS2 Directive.

Works With Every Palo Alto Deployment

Whether your firewalls are managed on-premise or in the cloud, Rampart delivers the same deep security analysis.

Standalone Firewalls

Import XML configs, device state bundles, or tech support files. Tech support files unlock deeper analysis β€” rule hit counts, SSL certificate chain validation, licence inventory, and platform health.

Panorama-Managed

Full support for device groups, pre/post rulebases, and shared objects across managed firewalls.

Strata Cloud Manager

Connect directly via API to audit cloud-managed configurations without manual exports. Professional+

Maintain consistent security auditing and reporting regardless of how your firewalls are managed — including hybrid environments during migration.

What Rampart Detects

From firewall rule cleanup to compliance violations, Rampart identifies both obvious and hidden risks that many tools and manual reviews miss.

Policy & Rule Risks

  • Rules that allow any source to any destination
  • Port-based rules that bypass App-ID inspection
  • Fully and partially shadowed rules, including application-level conflicts
  • Stale or expired rules allowing unintended traffic

Security Exposure

  • Lateral movement risks between internal zones
  • Internet-facing rules without geographic restrictions
  • Segmentation weaknesses where zones communicate freely

Traffic & Data Risks

  • Unrestricted outbound traffic enabling data exfiltration
  • Traffic bypassing SSL/TLS decryption policies
  • Weak IKE/IPSec VPN crypto β€” deprecated ciphers, no forward secrecy
  • Cleartext protocols across zone boundaries

Compliance Violations

  • NIST, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, CIS, DISA STIG, CMMC / 800-171, and EU NIS2 failures
  • Misconfigured logging and App-ID enforcement gaps
  • Palo Alto best-practice violations
