By leveraging a comprehensive threat intelligence database, OneFirewall matches network traffic against known threats and provides actionable insights to enhance network security. ## Objective The Proof of Value (PoV) aims to demonstrate the efficacy of OneFirewall in identifying and mitigating potential cyber threats within an on-premises environment, including private cloud infrastructures. This is achieved by installing a Virtual Machine (VM) running the OneFirewall platform and analyzing edge traffic logs to detect malicious activities. ## Scope 1. **Installation and Setup**: * Deploy a Virtual Machine with OneFirewall within the on-premises environment. * Ensure compatibility with the existing private cloud infrastructure. 2. **Traffic Logging**: * Enable the logging of edge traffic to the OneFirewall VM. * Configure the system to capture and forward all relevant network traffic for analysis. 3. **Threat Analysis**: * OneFirewall will continuously monitor and match the incoming traffic against its extensive threat intelligence database. * Provide real-time insights and alerts on any detected malicious actors attempting to penetrate the network perimeter. ## Process ### 1. Preparation * Prepare a **Linux-based virtual machine** (Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, or equivalent) with **Docker** and **Docker Compose** installed. * Ensure the selected on-premises environment or private cloud instance meets all **network and permission requirements** needed for deployment. * Provide the required **access credentials** (i.e. VPN, VM credentials with sudoers rights) to the OneFirewall team, who will handle the setup and configuration. ### 2. Installation * The **OneFirewall OnPrem Solution** — a fully containerized ecosystem orchestrated via *Docker Compose* — will be deployed and configured by OneFirewall staff, equipped with a PoV License. * Verify **network connectivity** to ensure the solution can access and process the necessary traffic logs. * Perform final **installation and connectivity checks** to confirm the solution is fully operational within the infrastructure. ### 3. Configuration * Enable logging of all edge traffic to the OneFirewall VM. * Set up necessary permissions and integrations for comprehensive traffic analysis. ### 4. Monitoring and Analysis * OneFirewall begins real-time monitoring of network traffic. * Traffic is analyzed against the threat intelligence database to identify and classify potential threats. * Generate reports and alerts based on the analysis to provide insights into malicious activities. ### 5. Evaluation * Assess the volume and nature of detected threats. * Evaluate the responsiveness and accuracy of OneFirewall in identifying and mitigating potential cyber threats. * Gather feedback from network security personnel regarding the usability and effectiveness of the OneFirewall platform. ## Deliverables * **Installation Report**: Documenting the setup process and initial configuration of the OneFirewall VM. * **Traffic Analysis Report**: Detailed insights into the detected threats, including types of attacks, sources, and frequency. * **Evaluation Report**: Comprehensive assessment of OneFirewall's performance during the PoV, highlighting key findings and areas for improvement. ## Conclusion The PoV of OneFirewall aims to showcase the platform's capability to enhance network security through real-time threat intelligence and monitoring. By successfully deploying and evaluating OneFirewall within an on-premises environment, stakeholders can make informed decisions about its potential long-term integration into their cybersecurity strategy. ## VM Requirement | Component | Basic | Recommended | | :-------- | :-------- | :---------- | | CPU/vCPU | 8 | 16 | | RAM | 32GB | 48GB | | Disk | 750GB SSD | 1TB SSD | ## Network connectivity | Direction | Service | Reason | | --------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Inbound | 514/UDP | Syslog traffic | | Inbound | 443/TCP | UI and API Platform Access | | Inbound | 22/TCP | SSH Console access for installation | | Outbound | 443/TCP | Access Cloud Feeds at [https://app.onefirewall.com/api/v1](https://app.onefirewall.com/api/v1) |
