FireMon, the leading network security policy management (NSPM) company that brings visibility, control, agility, and automation to enterprise cloud and hybrid network infrastructure, today announced that its Policy Manager solution has been selected as winner of the “Policy Management Solution of the Year” award in the 8th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global information security market today.
FireMon Policy Manager is a network security policy management (NSPM) platform that automates the management of firewall and cloud security policies to increase visibility, eliminate policy-related risk, accurately and quickly change rules, and meet internal and external compliance requirements. FireMon Policy Manager mitigates policy-related risks and ensures compliance with both internal and external mandates by providing real-time visibility and control over policy environments.
The solution streamlines the policy lifecycle with automated workflows and customizable audit trails, ensuring adherence to business processes and facilitating efficient rule management and compliance enforcement. The platform is scalable, supporting up to 15,000 devices and 25 million rules. FireMon’s platform creates a centralized rule repository that automatically imports information that translates into a common, normalized rulebase. It automatically identifies and imports information into a consolidated rule repository and offers support for over 80 vendors and versions for network policy normalization.
“Innovation and customer-centric updates are central to our comprehensive approach to policy management. The solution is purpose built for complex enterprise environments achieved through a distributed architecture that separates the application, database, and data collectors on separate servers for seamless scalability,” said Jody Brazil, CEO at FireMon. “This award from CyberSecurity Breakthrough demonstrates our commitment to continuous improvement and providing our customers with cutting-edge solutions that evolve with the needs of the most complex and demanding enterprise environments.”
The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work, and success in a range of information security categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 20 different countries throughout the world.
“FireMon helps to effectively manage the growing complexity of network environments driven by cloud services, new devices, and applications. The increasing complexity of these networks presents a huge challenge for managing firewall policies and rules. A typical enterprise has millions of rules and a lack of visibility leading to compliance violations and data breaches,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “FireMon Policy Manager’s ability to streamline policy management, ensure compliance, and adapt to evolving network security makes it our ‘Policy Management Solution of the Year.’ The platform's focus on real-time visibility, proactive change management, and risk mitigation helps organizations navigate the complexities of modern network security.”
Additionally, FireMon’s proprietary Security Intelligence Query Language (SiQL) enables fast and customizable search of network policies across various elements in the platform, including workflows and users. FireMon’s reporting capabilities offer over 20 preconfigured compliance and assessment reports that can be customized, with the option to integrate vulnerability scanner and risk/threat modeling for enhanced security.
With a customer base exceeding 1,700 organizations across 70 countries, FireMon addresses the critical challenges in firewall policy management, ensuring that businesses can adapt to changes swiftly and securely.
