How FireMon Differs From Its Competitors

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

Actually we only used for private environments and with different brand this tool save so much time.

Flexible Workflows

Our organization has not used the tool to automate security policy workflows.

FireMon Compliance

The tool give a good PCI compliance report, that let us configure the appliances base on best practices, we definately try to reduce possible configuration mistakes.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

With the multiple reports available we did reduced misconfigurations by fixing the possible issues shown.

Flexible Workflows

We only have Firemon Security Manager, so does not have to automate security policy workflows.

FireMon Compliance

FireMon help generates compliance report, which is helpful for auditing.

Flexible Workflows

We did not use these benefits because we did not have the module required for this.

FireMon Compliance

Definitely save a lot of time in compliance reports, usage of firewall rules, and unsubdued firewall rules.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

Basically, the customer was able to reduce compliance violations with the generated reports, which make them able to pass through different certifications.

Best practice in this case is to put FireMon in the demilitarized zone or DMZ. So that you will be able to support your hybrid cloud infrastructure. In our case, we only put this inside our network since this is only our requirement in the organization.

Flexible Workflows

We haven't implemented automation since our organization prefers manual administrative use cases.

FireMon Compliance

We were able to improve our GDPR and NIST compliance rating because of FireMon.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

We were able to reduce risk of misconfiguration because FireMon also recommends what rule should be removed.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We have a hybrid environment in our organization, we are using the Firemon solution for both our on-prem and cloud firewalls. The collectors have been deployed in both environments to collect from the firewalls.

Flexible Workflows

The above statement is absolutely true. Firemon does present the ability to be customized and work with most existing ticketing solutions to incorporate the approval process and identify the in-path firewalls and push relevant policies while maintaining an audit trail.

FireMon Compliance

Firemon does offer most PCI ISO audit compliance results as a report on the analysis for different firewalls. It tags risks based on the compliance model and offers solutions to remdiate the same. Not all of these can be achieved via the zero-touch automation though.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

The zero-touch policy automation does minimize the risks of mistakes over policies being pushed on the firewalls. It selects the right firewalls that fall in path and push only what is needed.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

FireMon is used for public (GCP, AWS), private and hybrid cloud within our organization.

Flexible Workflows

not yet, installation is quite recent (within the last 3 months) so we will need to customize workflows and is on our roadmap

FireMon Compliance

we have used compliance reporting and so far that is the main use of FireMon initially. It has reduced our time to collect this type of information and handily reports these details. We have recently changed our compliance/monitoring tool and many hours per week are saved as a result.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

not yet, too early in the game for us but looking forward to these types of capabilities to pursue in the future!

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

FireMon has proven its worth for the security team, networking team, and compliance team with the various tools it offers.

Flexible Workflows

With automation reports pulled nightly, action can be taken for any abnormalities quickly the next day.

FireMon Compliance

Between compliance and security, any number of reports can be produced and automated for emails being sent to anyone in the organization.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

FireMon has helped us remove unused firewall rules with great reports that are easy to understand.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

The system it was used on was very old and very unique software and traffic types/patterns. FireMon had no issues with the analyzing or monitoring of the same.

Flexible Workflows

Used as a 'check and balance' with other tools to make 100% sure we were not missing things.

FireMon Compliance

Integrated with parts of the DOE Cyber Security framework easily. Can point to reports from FireMon for SOX compliance.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

It is used as a 'check and balance' with other software/hardware tools, invaluable in this role.

FireMon Compliance

It is easier to use Firemon to analyze policy compliance

Firewall Policy Risk Management

We are in the process of implementing Policy Planner and Policy Optimizer

Flexible Workflows

Yes, the policy workflows have a nice escalation feature and good validation steps.

FireMon Compliance

The compliance in Security Manager is excellent. Being able to compare the firewall policy sets to industry standards provides and excellence guide on improving the environments security posture.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

We do not use this feature as much as we should. Since all firewall changes are validated by multiple team members are part of the workflow we don't have these scenarios.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We have yet to deploy FireMon into our public or hybrid cloud strategies, nor do we really need to support many vendors on premises. Our business does have another security department that finds great benefits from the vendor-agnostic support. I have seen what the product can do, and in time, as …

Flexible Workflows

We do not currently run the modules that automate workflows but we do have a massive suite of reports created that can actually help reduce mistakes by showing us some that were made the next day (or at some interval) allowing for quick remediation of human error. As for reducing cost, FireMon has …

FireMon Compliance

This question is asking for some concrete examples, which are hard to provide given the level of secrecy we are held to. What I will say is that our organization is a FinTech, and as such, it is regulated heavily by auditors from the Federal Reserve, other companies, internal groups, and more. I …

Firewall Policy Risk Management

FireMon, by its very nature, will reduce risk with firewall misconfigurations by simply installing the product and feeding it configurations. The reports included without charge or customization have been enough to protect us from certain downtime due to software/hardware failure from our vendor. …

FireMon Compliance

In today's PCI and/or SOX compliance world, having the visibility that FireMon provides is immeasurable. You can easily see which devices are causing a failed compliance control in detail. For example, FireMon will show you where there are any rules that are allowing more traffic than they should.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

We recently had an issue where our SIEM stopped receiving all syslog data from several devices. Within minutes of using FireMon, we were able to easily pinpoint what changes were made and restore functionality. What complicated matters was that a proper change control was not submitted to document …

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

No major benefits have been realized with the vendor a nice take approach however this has allowed us to choose Firemon do to ease of use,return on investment, and implementation. As a cloud software company, the designer Firemon works great!

Flexible Workflows

We do not use these modules to its full capacity therefore I review is incomplete.

FireMon Compliance

Our organization has greatly benefited from this feature and is the main reason why we purchased Firemon.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

Firemon has allowed us to find configuration errors and process these compliance problems to our network teams. It has been a great help throughout the entire organization and our IT teams.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We have not delved into the cloud aspect of FireMon yet, but as our cloud footprint grows, and we need the ability to see what is happening 'up there' this should be a great additional to our arsenal.

Flexible Workflows

Again, not something we have dipped our toe in yet, but this is coming down the pipe and should be a great addition to our toolbelt. As firewalls become more plentiful in our environment, we will need to utilize automation to keep up with the constant changes

FireMon Compliance

This was an unexpected additional to our toolbelt that helped quiet a bit with our yearly compliance reviews. Being able to pull information quickly was of great benefit when the auditors came calling. Also being able to quickly answer their question about specific changes and issues in the …

Firewall Policy Risk Management

One of the main reason for the purchase of FireMon was the need to cleanup and management of firewall configs. With multiple teams and people touching in and around the firewalls, having a more consistent plan to push out change became more of a necessity. It also helped with the cleanup, as we …

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We have used it across multiple vendors, but not in the cloud.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

Some of the BUs have used FireMon to help tighten it's overly permissive rules, especially when they moved to a new Data Center.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

FireMon has helped us consolidate our firewall configurations for similar devices. This promoted consistency and compliance. Most recently, we had upgraded our Cisco Firepower devices and FireMon was instrumental in helping us consolidate our configs.

Flexible Workflows

We have recently leveraged FireMon to point out inconsistencies in our configurations.
FireMon helped us ensure that they are in synch.

FireMon Compliance

We have not had any compliance issues that we solved using FireMon yet.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

FireMon has helped us point out devices dormant in our network. It has been instrumental in pointing out discrepancies with regards to configs.

FireMon Compliance

We have benefitted with technical audits, we use the tool to provide evidence to vendors about our firewall posture

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We use FireMon strictly for reporting purposes, only for audit reasons.

Flexible Workflows

We use FireMon for reporting. We do not have any automation set up to delete unused rules or create tickets to have them deleted. We view the reports manually and make the decision ourselves.

FireMon Compliance

When working correctly, the reports are extremely useful for audit/compliance purposes.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

When working correctly and the reports generate when a change is made, when we notice information not on the report, we can then follow up with the individual who staged those changes.

FireMon Compliance

It has saved time in reviewing rules and does a great job of documenting changes. It has canned and custom reporting options so you see what needs to be improved.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

FireMon lets you know if you have any redundant or overlapping rules so they can be eliminated. It also recommends where to insert new rules. We do NOT automate rule creation.

Data Accessibility

We have not had an outside audit since we implemented FireMon. It does help with our semi annually internal audits

Network Visibility

Not yet as soon as we get the policy planner implemented I anticipate it help save time and reduce redundant rules upfront.

Lifecycle Automation

It has enabled us to validate our rules twice a year rather the 1 year +

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

FireMon doesn't seem to work well with CheckPoint so maybe they should focus more on a specific vendor to be sure the tool works well with one vendor before moving to the next.

FireMon Compliance

Getting FireMon to consistently work has been a challenge, therefore the data can't be trusted and manual efforts are preferred for accuracy.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We only use FireMon for on-premise purposes at the moment. I'm not aware of any initiative to take it to another level, but if there's an opportunity we're aware the solution is well suited for all our needs, regardless of the environment where it is implemented and in which it is operating.

Flexible Workflows

We actually use FireMon between the Network and Security team to facilitate creation, deletion, review of our firewalls rules, but the whole workflow process is done and followed in our ticketing system instead of FireMon for centralization purposes. We're not looking to change this for now, but …

FireMon Compliance

We actually tried to use it for benchmarking purposes, but unfortunately CIS isn't supported right now, we are looking forward to it. Other compliance regulations are supported, but we don't use the tool in the regulated environments we have since they are managed differently by different teams …

Firewall Policy Risk Management

We use the tool to benchmark our firewalls based on the best practices of the industry when it comes to the configurations in place. Knowing that we consider the tool helped us establish recommendations faster and easier, as well as clear solutions presented by the solution itself inside the …

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We have Fortinet, Cisco, and Palo Alto in-house, and FireMon works with all of these. We are moving into the cloud now using Palo Alto, and we don't see any Issue adding this to FireMon.

Flexible Workflows

We have daily reports (change reports delivered each morning and the color coding reduces the read time of these reports). We have weekly compliance and monthly unused reports that deduce staff time and in some cases show us information we would never have had the time to find without this tool.

FireMon Compliance

Change control is the key to every security audit, and FireMon allows us and auditors to research all changes done. We created a company best practices compliance report and deliver it weekly to security and management.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

FireMon red-flagged an issue we did have in our enterprise, and we were able to remove the to deduce security risks.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We do not use multiple vendors for cloud, so I cannot speak to this aspect.

Flexible Workflows

Using FireMon's REST API we have integrated the platform into several workflows (Firewall Request Workflow, Audit Team Process) that benefit from the rule metadata stored in the platform.

FireMon Compliance

Compliance reporting is an area where FireMon provided immediate benefit upon implementation. In addition to having on-demand reports that satisfy PCI requirements, we created a tailored assessment that aligned with the company's firewall standards to measure compliance against this internal …

Firewall Policy Risk Management

We do not currently use FireMon for this purpose, though we have benefited from some of the related controls in building out our assessment reporting against our internal firewall standards.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

We have not used that to my knowledge yet. But, I know it's coming.

Flexible Workflows

We are just now embarking on an automation effort. It would be good for us to learn more about these features and how to use them effectively.

FireMon Compliance

We run reports from FireMon for our compliance teams and this has simplified our role in compliance audits.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

Currently, we have not been using FireMon in this capacity. I would like to learn more about how to utilize this.

FireMon Hybrid Cloud Security

No comment. I do not enough use w/FireMon in the cloud yet to say.

Flexible Workflows

Automation of rule auditing with Policy Optimizer to meet PCI requirements and a culture of constantly monitoring Firewall rules for configuration mistakes and weak security.

FireMon Compliance

There was a multi-week process of reviewing firewall rules multiple times per year in the past, and FireMon has eliminated that. It is also easier to provide documentation to auditors because it is a matter of logging into FireMon and doing a PDF export.

Firewall Policy Risk Management

Yes. You can set up reports or open Policy Optimizer tickets for things such as forgetting to put a destination port on a rule.

Positive - ability to add rule owners has been a big deal
Clean-Up of unused firewall rules has been helpful
Global architecture searching - i.e. I'm looking for a single server and all of its touchpoints in our environment. Where do I search? FireMon, of course.
