Introduction

Accelerate Time-to-Market with Smart Auto-Implementation

Ruleblade Guard delivers Network Security Orchestration (NSO) with a unified product owner interface: Application Owners define rules in an intuitive Web UI instead of opening technical tickets. Business intent is captured at the source, turning application-centric firewall management into a repeatable, auditable process.

The workflow is simple: Request > Approval > Deployment. A massive import facility supports bulk copy-paste from Excel or direct data imports, cutting manual entry errors to zero. Teams deploy critical flows in minutes, not days, while embedded approval workflows ensure security sign-off before implementation.

The Hidden Cost of Manual Firewall Management

  • Manual entry errors: copy-paste mistakes create risk and rework
  • Ticket SLA delays: business teams wait for technical firewall translations
  • Missing traceability: approval workflow, security validation, and logs are not unified
  • Policy creep: unused or overly permissive rules expand attack surface
  • Configuration drift: production diverges from the reference model

Ruleblade Guard: Sovereign Security Operations Platform

Ruleblade Guard is a sovereign NSPM and AlgoSec AppViz alternative, and also a Tufin alternative, built for compliance. It combines firewall policy automation, multi-vendor policy audit, and application visibility for firewalls with automated implementation across heterogeneous platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Network Security Orchestration

What is Network Security Orchestration and how does it differ from firewall management?

Network Security Orchestration (NSO) automates the entire firewall policy lifecycle, from business request through deployment, monitoring, and recertification, across multi-vendor environments. Traditional firewall management tools provide visibility and reporting but require manual deployment. Ruleblade Guard combines orchestration, automated workflow, risk scoring with Blade Risk, and compliance automation with NIS2 and DORA alignment to transform security operations from reactive to proactive. Instead of spending 70% of time on manual reviews, security teams focus on strategic risk management.

Why is data sovereignty important for Network Security Orchestration platforms?

Firewall policies expose sensitive architecture, application, and partner data. Ruleblade Guard is an EU/FR solution deployed self-hosted in your own data center, so data stays fully sovereign and never leaves your jurisdiction. This reduces exposure to non-EU legal frameworks and keeps security operations aligned with European requirements.

How does Blade Risk scoring help eliminate policy creep?

Blade Risk analyzes every firewall rule using 25+ security controls: overly permissive rules (ANY/ANY), unused rules (no traffic in 90 days), shadow IT (unauthorized changes), protocol risks (dangerous services), compliance violations, and more. Each rule receives a dynamic risk score that updates in real-time as configurations and traffic patterns change. Security teams use Campaign Risk to launch targeted cleanup campaigns, prioritizing high-risk rules first.

What firewall vendors does Ruleblade Guard support?

Ruleblade Guard provides multi-vendor orchestration for Fortinet FortiGate, Palo Alto Networks (PAN-OS and Panorama), Check Point Security Gateway, and Stormshield Network Security. The platform normalizes policy management across vendors, providing a unified API and interface. This eliminates vendor lock-in, reduces training overhead, and enables consistent security policies across heterogeneous environments. Support for cloud-native firewalls (AWS Security Groups, Azure NSGs) is on the roadmap: contact us to prioritize based on your requirements.

How quickly can we deploy Ruleblade Guard in our environment?

Ruleblade Guard is deployed as a self-hosted VM on your side, fully offline. Up and running in no time.
