Challenges
DMR already had a Firewall deployed in its network but with the evolution of the IT environment, it couldn’t keep up with the new threats as well as higher requirement of DMR in terms of performance and reporting tools.
The previous firewall couldn’t support the IPv6 and DMR was not able to benefit from the new security improvements offered by this new protocol (e.g.: unique network address for different devices). It also lacked of WAF (Web Application Firewall) to protect the key internal systems such as the ERP and CRM systems against Web-based & Application layer attacks.
Due to the lack of features, the previous Firewall couldn’t protect DMR from the increasing number of DoS attacks against governmental institutions. It provided reports such as security visibility report but it was too complicated, took a lot of time and needed an expert to analyze it.
