The organization seeks a vendor to provide firewall assurance replacement software that meets or exceeds current operational capabilities. The solution should offer enhanced integration with modern DevOps workflows, Git-based version control systems, and enterprise service management platforms.

The software must be capable of collecting and analyzing firewall and security policy configurations from multi-vendor firewalls, routers, and cloud security groups. It should deliver automated rule cleanup recommendations, including rule-level impact analysis and verification of safe removal. The platform should display allowed and blocked paths for investigation and troubleshooting, both visually and textually, and offer APIs for data export and integration with SIEM, GRC, asset management, and authentication platforms.

Additional requirements include comprehensive support for CI and CD pipeline integration tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, as well as compatibility with on-premises, cloud-hosted (SaaS), and hybrid deployment models. The solution must support all major firewall vendors and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and integrate with firewall change workflows and ticketing systems. Quality analysis, reporting of firewall rules, comprehensive policy management, and assurance via a REST API for major functions are also required.
