Planning the UTM-1 Firewall Security Policy

Before creating a security policy for your system, answer the following questions:

• Which services, including customized services and sessions, are allowed across the network?
• Which user permissions and authentication schemes are needed?
• Which objects are in the network? Examples include gateways, hosts, networks, routers, and domains.
• Which network objects can connect to others, and should the connections be encrypted?
• What should be the event logging policy?
• Which Quality of Service (QoS) classes will you need?
