To protect sensitive data and prevent interferences in crucial operations, healthcare industries rely on secure cybersecurity initiatives. Organizations rely on firewalls to prevent malicious actors from gaining access to their network. A firewall rule is a directive for a firewall which controls the network’s traffic. Detecting vulnerabilities in firewall rules is essential to maintaining a secure digital environment.

Our Intelligent Network Security for High-Risk Traffic system provides an interactive and convenient way for McKesson employees to view and mitigate firewall rule risks and threats.

Our intuitive web interface enables business and technology owners to manage firewall rules that relate to their applications. This authorizes managers to assign rules to their subordinates, making sure they are monitored in case of threats, while also regulating their own rules.

The system relies on a risk engine which analyzes attributes of firewall rules to determine their vulnerabilities. When suspicious behavior or anomalies are detected with our risk engine, alerts and attestations are sent out to the rule’s owner, prompting them to act against these threats.

The webpage includes a dashboard that monitors rule usage and risk trends over time. The data is stored in a secure database which is integrated with the webpage through visualized graphs and charts that are easy to read.

The application is constructed using Python and Flask as the back end and PostgreSQL as the database to analyze firewall rules. The front end is built with React and Power BI.
