Skybox - Studies show it is a leader
Skybox Security is being evaluated to replace similar tools to manage, audit, and insert into change control for next-generation firewalls. We need a tool that works with next-gen firewalls which the current enterprise tool does not support.
- Skybox manages compliance for firewalls better than we have seen with other tools.
- Skybox integrates into standard change management tools so change control can flow through Skybox and assist with all decisions to implement a change.
- The Skybox network map is more detailed than other management tools showing us paths other tools didn't find.
- The management console could use work - move away from Java to HTML5 to something more lightweight
- Dynamic objects are not properly identified in Skybox
- Skybox is in pilot
- Positive ROI is in change management

Skybox Security for vulnerability management
I'm a security consultant and I used Skybox Security for a financial customer with a very big server farm. To make the remediation part of the vulnerability management program faster, I prioritized the vulnerabilities based on the network map and attack vector. With the customer, I discussed the value of every asset (in terms of CIA) and the types of attack vector for every subnet analyzed and after that, I uploaded the results of the vulnerability assessment into Skybox.
- Vulnerability prioritization
- Review of firewall rules
- Review of routing rules
- User experience. On the first approach, it's not the simplest tool that I have ever used.
- Web-based console. In my honest opinion it's very important [to have] this type of functionality to extend the use of Skybox.
- Too many updates of the product.
- Reduces cost in terms of time and money to spend in remediation activity.
- Improve the network topology and then it's possibile to reduce cost of network/security appliances where they're not necessary.
- The cost of the solution is not trivial when the number of network appliances is big.
