Methods and systems are provided for creation and implementation of firewall policies. Method of the present invention includes enabling a firewall device to maintain a log of network traffic flow observed by the device. The method further includes enabling firewall device to receive an administrator request for a customized report to be generated based on log of network traffic and generating the report by extracting information from the log based on report parameters, where the report includes desired network traffic items that are associated with one or more action objects. The method further provides for firewall device to receive a directive to implement an appropriate firewall policy on one or more network traffic items responsive to interaction of administrator with one or more action objects corresponding to the network traffic items.
