CU*Answers Network Services (CNS) announced they would perform firewall configuration reviews for free for customers of their managed firewall service. The review is geared towards meeting increasing regulatory scrutiny of credit union cybersecurity and firewall management processes.

During the interactive review session, an engineer will review specific firewall configurations with the client and highlight any configurations that may be outdated or in need of removal.

“Networks are dynamic organizations that need regular review,” explains Matt Sawtell, AVP of Managed Technology Services. “Phone systems get upgraded, ATMs get added or swapped out, and other changes happen throughout the year. Often these changes leave unnecessary artifacts behind. This process is a great way to identify those stale configurations and fix them.”

The review process and any subsequent changes are documented and suitable for use as evidence of the credit union’s firewall management plan and due diligence on cybersecurity matters.

Up to one free annual review and consultation is available per customer of the Network Services Managed Firewall Service or Complete Care Service. For more information or to schedule a review, contact the CNS Team (netserv@cuanswers.com or ext. 266).
