FireMon: Igniting Innovation, Guarding Security.
We currently use the security manager modules to clean and fine-tune our set of policies centrally. We additionally use a policy planner to automate our process of routine operations in policy sets.

FireMon in a 100+ firewall environment.
We use FireMon to track changes in traffic, find rules that we can clean up and restrict, and report to higher-ups. I personally use it to export lists of potential rules to change based on control failures. We use it in most of our separate business units for a variety of reasons, but most are using it to improve security posture.

Firemon - A reliable source for your audit needs
We use firemon to real time reporting when a change occurs in addition to using it for a biannual clean of any rules that have not been used for 90 days.

FireMon - Powerful compliance audit and rule automation
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We use FireMon to analyze and automatically manage firewall rules for our Palo Alto firewalls.
FireMon is being used to provide detailed historical records of every change/revision made on every network appliance enterprise-wide. It provides instant visibility on what changed when issues arise. Considering outages and time to restoration are measured by duration, having a single pane of glass showing which firewall rule or ACL was updated is priceless. Without FireMon, we would go into every outage--both small and large--blind, trying to figure out where to start.

Long time User. The value is worth it, despite challenges.
We use FireMon Daily. It helps to organize and monitor Firewall policy Health, identify issues and act on them. It is great for rule cleanup and compliance checks. It generates data that can be given to management as well as auditors. Policy Optimizer as well as Custom Reports free up a lot of time that engineers can spend on more valuable tasks.
February 25, 2023
Work in progress
We use FireMon to validate rules, test traffic pathing and to do TFAs for minimizing overly permissive rules.
February 24, 2023
Cost effective and operationaly acceptable for basic operations
We use it to get an analysis of our firewall policies and get some recommendations on what policies have not been used for a long time and can be removed, policy re-ordering, optimization, and risks over risky protocols being allowed in policies like telnet or FTP. We use it to push policy automation changes, This enables a zero-touch framework to implement policy changes.

Network Security Compliance and Audit
Firemon is an awesome Audit tool, recently this tool has helped us to identify the traffic that is hitting a particular rule. I highly recommend Firemon when it comes to hardening the firewall rules.

Firemon a multiple brand integrator
We use the PCI reports available on the appliance in order to know the levels of compliance of our business.

FireMon Security Manager that will help you.
I use it for reporting and checking for unused firewall rules to do cleanup. I am still new to the Firemon product, so I have not used all of its functions.
October 14, 2022
Firemon! The time saver!
The issues are You have to learn new commands via CLI. There iS no tool to analyze the diagnostic file, you have to send it to Firemon support.

FireMon Firewall Analyzer Review
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We used FireMon as a firewall analyzer of internal and external perimeters. We were able to gather relevant tcpdumps instead of looking directly in the firewall. This is very useful for executive managements, we can just provide them read only access and if someone in our organization asked them they can directly check for any network traffic on their own.

Review FWs for Best Practices (Compliance and Assessment) and Policy Optimization (rule placement, rule review) for specific MSS customers. It is also useful to review policy changes as they can be quickly viewed for each domain.

Solid and reliable
FireMon is a great product that compiles information for security and networking issues and is easy to use. Support is some of the best in the industry, questions about the product or upgrades to the application are always answered promptly and with great detail. It is a must-have for any company that wants insight into their network traffic and is looking for added help to stay compliant.

Solid product, great intel of your threat landscape
Old, not well-documented SCADA system. Helped identify and mitigate security issues, firewall rule optimizations, etc. Compliance with DOE security framework.

FM for Multi-vendor Environment
Firewall audits and cleanup. Intake for firewall requests. Auditing overly permissive rules and policies.
Business Units will request firewall changes using policy planner. This method allow us to ask for all details about what is required to implement the changes. It will also provide the end user a portal and SLA for completion. Auditors love this level of tracking and validation.

FireMon benefits any organization without configuration management right out of the box
We use FireMon as a firewall configuration management tool as well as our primary software suite for responding to auditors regarding network security. Currently the product is mostly focused at the security administrator/engineer level but we have several users in less technical roles across different business units that have some limited but very useful information thanks to that extra level of deployment. This tool has been crucial in helping us keep our overall rule counts down and also restricting access to only applications that are still valid. Recently I've created controls that were pretty simple to make, they essentially evaluate any new rule created to see if it crosses from outside to inside which allows a tier 3 team to analyze those rules daily/weekly. Compared to how I was doing this in Splunk Firemon is 100x better.

Firemon Catches them All!
My team uses Firemon primarily for a firewall reviews due to PCI compliance. Firemon offers a great overview of how our network is built and how it can be utilized better for requirements one in the PCI – DSS. Currently, the software is being used by just a department and not the whole organization however, Firemon does impact the entire organization's compliance program.
We are currently using FireMon to monitor our primary corporate and DR firewalls. Also we use them to monitor our eCommerce environment firewalls. We are slowly expanding, as we have a number of retail locations, also with firewalls, and need to monitor them. We use this to push update and config changes, as well as backups and restores (when needed). We also use this to troubleshoot and test new policy implementations

Review for FireMon
We are primarily using FireMon for Quarterly Compliance.
FireMon is being used to monitor changes to our existing firewalls. Our firewalls consist of various Palo Alto models.
December 16, 2020
Secure with Firemon
FireMon is being used by whole organization. It's a second source of firewall rules and we give access to people who can't be given access to firewalls to review the rules. That way many people are using FireMon.
We are also using it for Rule analysis and rule-recertification.

Firemon is great tool but expensive
FireMon is deployed by the Corporate Security Team, the network team will check in all of their firewalls and use the tool for audit purposes. The Security Team also aligns witth each Business Unit security leader, if that BU is audited they use the data produced from FireMon as evidence.
