FireMon vs. Trend Micro Cloud One - Conformity

FireMon is best used in a large environment (for example, I have >100
firewalls in my environment). It's best used when trying to improve
security posture and showing changes in firewall security over time. It
might not be the best choice for smaller environments or those that aren't concerned about security management.

As we all know data is moving from our traditional Data centre to Cloud and all the companies have their dev-ops team who are using Cloud / Workloads / Dockers for their day-to-day job. It's a big concern for IT team to track all the traffic visibility and protect against the malware on these platforms and this is where Trend Micro Cloud One security is best suited.

• Give good real time reporting for anyone making a change to any of our firewalls
• Provides good reporting tools that are out of box
• Provide good customization tools that is specific to our needs
• Upgrades are a simple process and support does relatively well with assisting us.

• Malware detection and prevention
• Visibility
• Behaviour Analysis

• Some features could be added to the existing functionality which include NAT rules usage
• Rule expiration normalization from firewalls rather than entering them in rule documentation
• .csv exports of the files from the firewall pane only gives usage for 30 days by default and that should be increased

• Granularity control over Agentless deployment
• Alibaba Cloud Support

The shell is locked out and we can't run any general centos commands. The implementation and maintainence of the arch is very complex. Even with the right identifiers on log messages the log collection keeps failing. The warning messages on the device are ambiguous. The log messages on firemon are a bit confusing and don't show the exact issue.

It save me time and I'm able to have the review - review the rule independently with using my time.

FireMon has been relatively stable overall. However, there have been a handful of times where we had issues with the console. For example, we couldn't update which devices to include in a security assessment. The initial suggestion from support was to just reboot it. It seems like there weren't many other options available such as to restart services before going to the extreme of a complete reboot.

I'm not sure we have the largest implementation of FireMon out there but we do have a few 1000 devices being probed by FireMon. Overall, the system's performance has been rock solid. The console refreshes quickly and reports are generated within an expected timeframe.

FireMon technical support is awesome! They respond quickly to our requests and they are well trained and very knowledgeable about the tool. Some issues have to be referred to the development team, but technical support largely provides solutions for any issues that we may have.

Implementation is fairly simple. Most issues can be resolved by referencing manuals.

I has worked with AlgoSec and while they are very similar product, I find the FireMon is easier to understand and get rolling with. While both require some learning, FireMon is by far the easier one. Once you have an understanding of how things are arranged and labeled you can easily import firewalls and begin to work on them to improve them

Trend Micro Cloud One security supports the hybrid Infra. It can be integrated with public Cloud as well as Private cloud. It's an all in one solution which gives the flexibility to manage our Clouds, Workloads, Containers, Dockers etc. It protects against zero day attacks using next gen technology like Behaviour Analysis and Machine learning.

Firemon Is easily scalable and maintainable with any size team. Although it requires some tech debt, it is well worth the time to invest to ensure compliance is visible and reports are accurate. Although our environment is very large we do not fully utilize the scalability of the Firemon product.

Incentivized

• FireMon's Compliance Reporting provided an immediate and tangible benefit
• FireMon helps identify egregious or erroneous rules quickly across multiple platforms
• FireMon took our audit process from an Excel spreadsheet into a far more advanced process with readily available context for reviewers

• Application control and security
• United management for Hybrid Cloud
• Complied to regulatory like GDPR, PCI DSS
