Cyber Security
Firewall Management
We install your firewall, write its rule set and run it day to day. We work with FortiGate, Palo Alto Networks and MikroTik devices.
Benefits of Firewall Management
Threat Protection
We enable and tune security services such as intrusion prevention (IPS), web filtering and antivirus as needed.
Traffic Monitoring
We monitor firewall logs and examine unusual traffic. If needed, we forward the logs to a SIEM system.
Audit Records
We keep records of rule changes and access logs. These records serve as evidence for KVKK and internal audits.
Updates
We track firmware updates and apply them in a maintenance window. We back up the configuration before each update.
Expert Support
The team that installs the system also operates and supports it. Our support line is available 24/7.
Firewall Design
We design security zones, VPN connections and redundancy for your business model and downtime tolerance.
What is a next-generation firewall (NGFW)?
A classic firewall filters traffic by IP address and port. A next-generation firewall (NGFW) also identifies and controls traffic at the application and user level.
NGFW devices combine security services such as intrusion prevention (IPS), web filtering and antivirus in one device. With many vendors, these services need a separate subscription licence. Our article on firewall types: Getting to Know Firewall Types and Their Features.
How does our firewall management process work?
- Current state review: We examine the network structure, the current rule set and open access.
- Design: We document the zone layout, VPN connections and redundancy and agree them with you before implementation.
- Installation and rule set: We install the device and write a rule set that passes only permitted traffic.
- Security services: We enable and tune IPS, web filtering and antivirus services as needed.
- Monitoring: We monitor device health, VPN tunnels and blocked connections and notify you of unusual events.
- Maintenance: We apply firmware updates in a maintenance window.
- Regular review: We review the rule set on a regular basis and close unnecessary access.
Which records are kept in firewall management?
In the managed firewall service every operation is recorded. These records are used in audits and incident reviews:
- Rule change records: A record of every change to the rule set.
- Access logs: Records that serve as evidence for KVKK and internal audits.
- Configuration backups: The configuration backup taken before each update.
- Reports: Reports whose scope and frequency we define in the service contract.
For 24/7 monitoring of firewall logs we recommend SIEM – SOC Management. For external verification of the rule set we recommend Penetration Testing. Our introductory article: What is Firewall Management, and Why is It Important?.

Frequently asked questions
What Is Firewall Management?
Firewall management is the regular management of a firewall’s rule set, updates and logs. The goal is to let only allowed traffic pass and to keep the rules current.
What Does the Synchron Bilişim Firewall Management Service Include?
The service covers rule management, firmware updates, VPN configuration, intrusion prevention (IPS) settings and log review. We set the scope and reporting frequency in the contract.
How Does a Managed Firewall Service Increase Corporate Security?
Rules pile up over time and unnecessary access stays open. Regular rule reviews, updates and log reviews reduce this risk. We do this work on a schedule.
Which Threats Does Firewall Management Block?
A firewall blocks unauthorized access attempts, connections to known malicious addresses and traffic that carries malware, based on its rules and security services. The level of protection depends on the enabled services and the rule set.
Why Choose Synchron Bilişim for Firewall Management?
