Best Practice Assessment
99% of firewall breaches through 2023 will be due to firewall misconfigurations. Are your next-generation firewalls capturing every potential threat to your organization?
Are you interested in preventing and targeting known and unknown threats? Reducing your overall business attack surface? Improving traffic control based on users, applications, and specific content?
The Best Practice Assessment (BPA) from Palo Alto Networks and Burwood Group is a free assessment that provides a barometer of your current security implementation. It looks deep into your security policy adoption and improves your team’s efficiency by providing easy-to-follow recommendations.

Reduce re-work and change requests due to misconfigurations
Minimize the chances of successful intrusion
Identify the presence of attackers
Protect your valuable data, customers, partners and employees
Align your organization to a Zero Trust security environment
BPA Deliverables
The Best Practice Assessment consists of three parts:
The assessment itself is a focused evaluation of your adoption of security configuration best practices for next-generation firewalls or Panorama network security management, grouped by policies, objects, networks, and devices.
The Security Policy Capability Adoption Heatmap shows gaps in your capability adoption, displaying your current rating for each metric as well as comparison against industry averages.
The BPA Executive Summary is designed for management and executives to better understand the current state of security capability adoption at a glance, to help your organization confidently progress towards best practice implementation.
Conducting a BPA can help your network administrative team prioritize tasks that address the deficiencies shown in the results.
Your security policy adoption heatmap will show you where you have opportunity for improvement.
