It matches network traffic against a threat intelligence database and reports actionable insights on detected threats. ## Objective The Proof of Value (PoV) demonstrates OneFirewall's ability to identify and mitigate cyber threats in an on-premises or private cloud environment. A VM running the OneFirewall platform is installed, and edge traffic logs are analyzed to detect malicious activity. ## Scope 1. **Installation and Setup**: * Deploy a Virtual Machine with OneFirewall in the on-premises environment. * Ensure compatibility with the existing private cloud infrastructure. 2. **Traffic Logging**: * Enable logging of edge traffic to the OneFirewall VM. * Configure the system to capture and forward relevant network traffic for analysis. 3. **Threat Analysis**: * OneFirewall continuously matches incoming traffic against the threat intelligence database. * Provide real-time insights and alerts on 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 * OneFirewall staff deploy and configure the **OneFirewall OnPrem Solution**, a containerized ecosystem orchestrated via Docker Compose, under a PoV License. * Verify network connectivity so the solution can access and process traffic logs. * Run final installation and connectivity checks to confirm the solution is operational. ### 3. Configuration * Enable logging of all edge traffic to the OneFirewall VM. * Set up the permissions and integrations needed for traffic analysis. ### 4. Monitoring and Analysis * OneFirewall monitors network traffic in real time. * Traffic is matched against the threat intelligence database to identify and classify potential threats. * Reports and alerts are generated from the analysis. ### 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 on the platform's usability and effectiveness. ## Deliverables * **Installation Report**: Setup process and initial configuration of the OneFirewall VM. * **Traffic Analysis Report**: Detected threats, including types of attacks, sources, and frequency. * **Evaluation Report**: OneFirewall's performance during the PoV, including key findings and areas for improvement. ## 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) |
