Abstract

In this paper, we present the architecture of agent that supports integrated management for firewalls and implemented the prototype of the A-ISMSF(Agent-based Integrated Security Management System for Firewalls). The agent is a component of A-ISMSF consists of web client, integration engine and agents. The design of agent focuses on the scalability to newly introduces or expanded firewall structure so that minimal changes are needed to manage another firewall. An agent initiates with SNMP security MIB, monitors the status of a firewall, and executes control requests from integration engine.
