OPSEC Integration
PATROL for Firewalls uses the OPSEC LEA API to perform real-time reporting of events. The PATROL Agent and the PATROL for Firewalls Knowledge Module are installed on the FireWall-1 Management Server. The PATROL Agent receives, in real time, all the events entered into the FireWall-1 log. These events are separated into their respective types and displayed by the Knowledge Module. The Knowledge Module also uses the OPSEC LEA API to generate reports. The reports can be based on various filters that can be set by the Patrol Operator.
