As PolicySafeguard matures, we plan to publish research on firewall policy security patterns, common misconfigurations, and automated detection techniques. Our goal is to contribute to the broader understanding of network security vulnerabilities.
Planned Areas:
We believe in responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. If PolicySafeguard discovers vulnerabilities in firewall configurations during analysis, we encourage users to follow responsible disclosure practices with affected vendors.
For vulnerabilities in PolicySafeguard itself:
As we grow, we're building a community of security practitioners who believe in empowering defenders
We're building a community space for security engineers to discuss firewall policy best practices, share detection rules, and collaborate on defensive security patterns.
As we develop PolicySafeguard, we plan to open-source detection rules and integration examples. Community contributions will help improve coverage and detection accuracy.
