# Firewall extension classes

The CMDB CI Class Models app adds or updates classes for firewall devices.

CMDB CI Class Models is a ServiceNow Store app that adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy. The new or updated classes include class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and, if applicable, dependent relationships. You can use the added classes just like any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns can use the class extensions to populate CIs and discover technologies and software.

See the release notes for all CMDB CI class models.

## Request apps on the Store

Visit the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/home) to view all the available apps, and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the [ServiceNow Store version history release notes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/store-release-notes/sn-store-release-notes.html).

## Firewalls

A firewall is a network security system that, based on security policies, monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic. Firewalls typically form a barrier between an internal network and an untrusted external network such as the internet. It usually consists of security policies that help secure an organization from external threats and cyberattacks. Firewall vendors might provide a centralized firewall manager to manage many firewall devices and the security policies residing on them. For example, Panorama™ is the centralized management system for Palo Alto Networks firewalls.
