Tufin's SecureTrack provides configuration change monitoring, reporting, and alerting features specifically for corporate firewalls. Check Point (NG FP3+), Cisco (PIX, ASA, FWSM, IOS Routers), Juniper (ScreenOS), and soon Fortinet (FortiGate) firewalls are all supported. (How about MikroTik RouterBoard?)

The product is deployed on a central Red Hat (Enterprise Linux, CentOS) server. For Check Point firewalls, the product tracks all changes made by admins (watching for policy saves or installs) logged onto a Check Point SmartDashboard or Provider-1 GUI. When such changes are noted, the central server uses OPSEC to retrieve the policy, storing it in its own internal DB for subsequent analysis. For other supported firewalls, the product periodically logs into the firewall via SSH, retrieving the firewall's policies and ACLs and translating them into the product's internal XML rule base format.
