Meraki Firewall

Version: Meraki Firewalls MX Series.

Meraki Firewalls are cloud-managed network security appliances designed to make distributed networks fast, secure, manageable by employing stateful inspection and auto-configuring VPN options. Netsurion’s Open XDR platform amasses and examine logs generated by Meraki Firewall to help an administrator to monitor IDS alerts, VPN sessions, web traffic, user behavior and system activity.

Netsurion Data Source Integration for Meraki Firewall allows you to monitor the following:-

  • Operations – Web traffic and VPN sessions
  • Security – IDS alerts and blocked web content
  • Compliance – User behavior and system activity 

Netsurion’s Open XDR platform supports McAfee Firewall Enterprise (Sidewinder) and it can be configured to send syslog to Netsurion Enterprise.

Netsurion Data Source Integration for McAfee Sidewinder allows you to monitor following:-

  • Operations – Syslog messages for different services, account operations (addition, deletion and modification of user and group) and shutdown/restarting of system.
  • Security – Suspicious network activities, if there is any changes in privileges on user logon/authentication activities (logon, logoff).
  • Compliance – Changes in policy configuration (addition and deletion).

Once Meraki Firewall is configured to deliver events to Netsurion’s Open XDR platform; alerts, dashboards and reports can be configured into Netsurion’s Open XDR platform.
