Your Firewall Enforces Rules.
OneFirewall Decides Which Rules.
Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco — they are excellent at enforcing what they know. OneFirewall is the real-time intelligence brain that tells them what to block before the first packet arrives. It does not replace your firewall. It makes it act on live, crowd-sourced attack data automatically.
Three Layers of Modern Cyber Defence
Most organisations have layer 1. The best add all three. Here is what each layer does — and what it cannot do alone.
The Enforcer — Your Existing Firewall
Your firewall controls traffic in and out of your network based on rules, policies, and signatures. It is fast, reliable, and essential. But it only blocks what it has been explicitly told to block. If an attacker's IP is not on a rule or blocklist, traffic passes freely.
The Analyst — Traditional Threat Intelligence
Platforms like CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence, Recorded Future, Anomali, or MISP aggregate and contextualise threat indicators. They tell you what is 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 do not give you.
The Brain — Real-Time Collective Enforcement
OneFirewall connects 180+ security centers 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.
The Blind Spots No One Talks About
Both firewalls and CTI platforms are excellent at what they do. The problem is what they cannot do alone.
Your Firewall Alone
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
- No crowd data: your organisation learns only from its own incidents
Traditional CTI Alone
CrowdStrike · Recorded Future · Anomali · MISP
- Delivers intelligence reports but does not 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 licensing for enterprise-grade access; SMEs are left behind
- Intelligence is consumed passively — not pushed as live enforcement actions
OneFirewall Closes Both Gaps
OneFirewall sits between your threat intelligence and your firewall. It aggregates crowd-sourced attack data from 180+ security centers, 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.
How OneFirewall Acts as the Brain
Think of it as giving your firewall a nervous system connected to 180 other organisations fighting the same attackers right now.
-
1
Attack Detected Anywhere in the Alliance
A member organisation's firewall or IPS detects a malicious IP, domain, or file hash — a botnet node, a C2 server, a ransomware staging endpoint, or a credential-stuffing source. The signal is captured automatically by the WCF agent.
-
2
Indicator Validated & Anonymised
OFA Core cross-references the indicator against 40+ threat feeds, assigns a confidence score and a Crime Score, and strips any identifying information about the reporting organisation. Your data never leaves your perimeter.
-
3
Real-Time Push to All Members
High-confidence indicators are distributed to every connected member within 5 seconds of validation. Every firewall in the Alliance network receives the same blocking instruction simultaneously — before the attacker even pivots to a new target.
-
4
Your Firewall Enforces — Automatically
The WCF agent on your Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, or Cisco device applies the block rule natively in the firewall's own syntax. No manual ticket. No playbook approval. The attack is stopped at the perimeter before it sees a single internal packet.
-
5
Audit Log Created for Compliance
Every enforcement action is timestamped and logged with indicator context, source attribution, and confidence score. Your CISO gets proof of real-time enforcement. Your compliance team gets the audit trail — automatically.
Side-by-Side Comparison
How does OneFirewall stack up against using a standalone firewall or a traditional CTI platform alone?
| Capability | Firewall Alone Palo Alto · Fortinet · Check Point |

Why Organisations Add OneFirewall On Top
You do not need to retire your Palo Alto or your CrowdStrike subscription. OneFirewall makes both dramatically more effective.
Attack Speed Has Outpaced Human Response
Modern attackers rotate IPs every few minutes, spin up new C2 domains hourly, and exploit the gap between detection and enforcement. Automated collective blocking is the only response that matches the attacker's pace.
Your Network Learns From 180 Others
When one Alliance member's firewall detects a ransomware staging server, every other member blocks it in seconds — even if they have never seen it before. No other platform gives your firewall this collective memory.
No Rip-and-Replace Required
The WCF agent integrates natively with your existing Palo Alto, Fortinet FortiGate, Check Point, Cisco, or Sophos device. Your security team keeps the same console, the same policies. OneFirewall adds the intelligence layer on top.
Your Data Never Leaves Your Perimeter
Unlike cloud-based CTI platforms that analyse your traffic upstream, OneFirewall shares only anonymised threat indicators. Your logs, user data, and internal traffic stay completely on-premises. Full intelligence. Full sovereignty.
Compliance Without Extra Work
Every block action is logged with a timestamp, indicator source, and confidence score. For ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, or PCI-DSS audit evidence, your team has a complete enforcement record — generated automatically.
SOC Bandwidth Freed for What Matters
Automated enforcement eliminates the manual ticket queue of applying CTI to firewall rules. Your analysts shift from reactive blocklist management to proactive threat hunting and incident response — the work that actually needs human expertise.
