Validate your firewall rules automatically with Globalping

Swiftask orchestrates Globalping to test your network configurations in real-time. Verify that your firewalls block or allow traffic exactly as intended, from anywhere in the world.

Result:

Ensure the security of your infrastructure with continuous and automated connectivity audits.

Manual network rule verification is risky

Manually testing whether a firewall rule is correctly applied requires connecting to various servers or using disparate tools. It is a slow task, prone to human error, and often geographically limited.

Main negative impacts:

  • Invisible security gaps: A misconfigured rule can leave a door open. Without regular automated tests, these vulnerabilities remain ignored.
  • Complex global testing: Verifying connectivity from multiple regions is a complex logistical challenge without dedicated automation tools.
  • High intervention time: During network changes, manual verification time delays production and increases IT team stress.

Swiftask automates requests to Globalping. Launch ping, traceroute, or DNS tests from hundreds of global probes and receive consolidated results instantly.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

Before automation

A network engineer must manually test access from three continents. They use multiple terminals, note results in a spreadsheet, and check each rule one by one. If an error occurs, the process must be restarted.

With Swiftask and Globalping

The Swiftask agent triggers a series of Globalping tests as soon as a configuration change is detected. Results are analyzed and confirmed automatically. If an anomaly occurs, an alert is sent immediately to your communication channel.

Implementing your network validation

STEP 1 : Define scope

Configure the Swiftask agent with the targets and test types (ping, mtr, dns) to perform via Globalping.

STEP 2 : Connect to Globalping

Integrate your Globalping credentials into Swiftask to authorize the execution of network diagnostic tests.

STEP 3 : Schedule tests

Define a trigger (webhook or schedule) to launch validation following a configuration update.

STEP 4 : Analyze and report

Swiftask interprets the data returned by Globalping probes and validates your firewall compliance.

Advanced diagnostic capabilities

The agent analyzes latency, packet loss, and DNS resolution from geographically dispersed nodes.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in globalping based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Execute connectivity tests (Ping, Traceroute). Validate DNS resolution in specific zones. Compare results with your security policies. Automatic alerting in case of non-compliance.
  • Native governance: All tests are logged in Swiftask for your periodic compliance audits.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-globalping@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.

Network automation advantages

1. Continuous security audit

Stop relying on sporadic checks; test your firewalls continuously.

2. International reach

Use Globalping's global probe network to test from strategic locations.

3. Reduced MTTR

Instantly identify which rule is blocking traffic thanks to automated logs.

4. Zero-code setup

Configure complex network tests without writing a single line of script.

5. Automatic documentation

Each validation generates a report ready for your internal audits.

Security and compliance

Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your globalping automations.

  • Request encryption: Communication between Swiftask and Globalping is secured via standard protocols.
  • Environment isolation: Your tests are executed in a dedicated Swiftask environment, ensuring the confidentiality of tested targets.
  • Full audit trail: Every test launched and result received is recorded for traceability.
  • Strict access control: Only authorized members of your team can modify network validation settings.
