01 · Design and deploy
Architecture and high-availability topology are designed, then firewalls are deployed across data center, branch, and cloud, with legacy policy migrated.
Network Security
NGFW Lifecycle Services
End-to-end firewall lifecycle management across data center, branch, and cloud, from deployment through 24x7 managed operations.
- 12-month Minimum engagement following initial deployment, with 24x7 managed operation included
- AI-assisted Threat prevention signatures tuned using automated analysis alongside analyst review
- Quarterly Health and posture review across every firewall in your estate
The challenge
Firewalls and other edge devices now account for twenty-two percent of breach-related exploitation, up from just three percent a year earlier, and state-aligned groups increasingly treat them as the preferred way into an enterprise. A firewall estate that is deployed once and rarely revisited becomes exactly the kind of edge device attackers look for.
Approach
How the engagement works
02 · Optimize and operate
Rule bases are optimized by removing redundant and shadow rules, continuously tuning threat prevention policies, and operating the environment 24x7 with structured change management processes.
03 · Review and integrate
Telemetry is fully integrated with your SOC, backed by a detailed quarterly health and posture review conducted across the entire estate for executive stakeholders and governance decision-making and assurance activities.
How it works
From firewall deployment to a lifecycle that never goes stale
What’s included
- Architecture design and high-availability topology
- Deployment across data center, branch and cloud firewalls
- Policy migration from legacy firewall vendors
- Rule base optimization and shadow rule cleanup
- 24x7 managed operation with change management
- Quarterly health and posture review
Outcomes
- Policy migration from legacy firewall vendors with post-migration validation and optimization.
- Shadow rules and rule sprawl cleaned out, not left to accumulate
- One lifecycle across data center, branch and cloud, not managed in silos
Why Gruve
Most firewall estates are deployed once and revisited rarely
Gruve operates the full lifecycle, not just the install
A firewall deployed correctly on day one still drifts, rules accumulate, signatures age, and shadow rules pile up unnoticed. This service covers the entire lifecycle, design, deployment, migration, and 24x7 operation, so the firewall estate stays as clean and current as the day it went live.
