Your firewall enforces rules. OneFirewall decides which rules.
Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco — they're excellent at enforcing what they know. OneFirewall is the real-time intelligence layer that tells them what to block before the first packet arrives. It doesn't replace your firewall. It makes it act on live, crowd-sourced attack data automatically.
Most organisations have layer one. The best add all three.
Here's what each layer does — and what it cannot do alone.
Firewall / IPS — your existing firewall
Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, Check Point, Cisco Firepower, Sophos XG, Juniper SRX. Fast, reliable, essential — it controls traffic based on rules, policies, and signatures. But it only blocks what it has explicitly been told to block. If an attacker's IP isn't on a rule or blocklist, traffic passes freely.
CTI Platform — traditional threat intelligence
CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence, Recorded Future, Anomali, MISP, ThreatConnect, IBM X-Force aggregate and contextualise threat indicators. They tell you what's dangerous. But applying that intelligence to your firewall still requires a human analyst, a SOAR playbook, or a custom integration — and that takes time attackers don't give you.
OneFirewall — real-time collective enforcement
OneFirewall connects 290+ security centres into a single collective intelligence network. When one member detects an attack, the indicator is validated, scored, and pushed to every connected firewall automatically — in under 30 seconds. No playbook. No analyst. No window for the attacker.
Both layers are excellent at what they do. Here's what they can't do alone.
No single vendor — however good its engineering — can see across a heterogeneous network of independent organisations. Palo Alto sees Palo Alto's customers. Fortinet sees Fortinet's. Each is fighting the same attackers blind to what every other deployment already knows. OneFirewall was the first platform built to close that gap: a genuine SOC-to-SOC alliance, not another single-vendor feed.
Palo Alto · Fortinet · Check Point · Cisco
- Only blocks IPs and domains it has been explicitly told about
- Vendor threat feeds update every 4–24 hours — attackers rotate in minutes
- Zero visibility into what the attacker did yesterday at another organisation
- New C2 infrastructure goes unblocked until a signature is written
- Rule management is manual — every new blocklist entry needs an engineer
- Sees only its own deployment base — a single vendor, however large, is not a heterogeneous alliance
CrowdStrike · Recorded Future · Anomali · MISP
- Delivers intelligence reports but doesn't enforce anything automatically
- Requires SOC analysts or SOAR tools to translate intel into firewall rules
- That translation adds hours of latency — attackers are already inside
- High false-positive volume creates alert fatigue; rules get skipped
- Expensive enterprise licensing leaves smaller teams behind
OneFirewall sits between your threat intelligence and your firewall. It aggregates crowd-sourced attack data from 290+ security centres, validates and scores every indicator, then automatically pushes enforcement rules to your existing firewall or IPS — all in under 30 seconds. No analyst needed. No SOAR integration required. No rip-and-replace. Your Palo Alto, Fortinet, or Check Point stays in place. It just becomes dramatically smarter.
