FAQ

Questions to resolve before work begins.

How often should firewall rules be reviewed?

High-change environments should review firewall policy regularly, with deeper reviews after major projects, audits, incidents, migrations, or ownership changes.

Can cleanup be done without breaking production?

A careful cleanup uses exports, hit counts, owner validation, staged changes, rollback plans, and maintenance windows to reduce unnecessary disruption.
