Value Proposition
FireMon is a successful and rapidly growing security software developer of
enterprise management solutions. Co-founded and funded by Internet security entrepreneur
Gary Fish, FireMon was built from the ground up for growth and stability
without any external investments. FireMon’s founding was a direct result
of meeting customers’ needs with innovatively engineered software solutions. Our
industry leading firewall management product, FireMon Security Manager, has been recognized by industry
experts and emulated by competitors since we invented the firewall management space
in 2001.
At the foundation of our innovation is a staff dedicated to addressing the pain
of managing multi-vendor security environments. Using our many years of experience
and contacts in the information security community, we have recruited the best and
brightest talent to fill key executive, sales and development roles. Our founders
and employees at FireMon work hard to continually find, understand, and solve
our customers’ security management challenges.
Our History
The FireMon story began in 1997 when FishNet Security Inc., was providing
support for a large telecommunications company that had experienced network problems
and suspected the firewall was to blame. Jody Brazil, then CTO of FishNet, developed
a change monitoring and alert application that would track changes and provide the
necessary information to help his team diagnose firewall problems. This was a major
breakthrough in firewall policy management and problem resolution.
A technology innovator, Jody understood the demand from enterprise customers and
saw there was nothing available in the market. Jody brought his vision to life in
March 2001 when the FishNet team released the industry’s first firewall monitoring
and configuration analysis software, FireMon Security Manager. This solution was OPSEC® certified
for Check Point® FireWall-1® from Check Point Software Technologies, Ltd. Under
Jody’s leadership as CTO and co-founder, FireMon, then named "Secure Passage," was spun off as a separate
entity from FishNet Security in 2004.
As a result, Security Manager quickly evolved into a new distributed, extensible architecture
that enterprises could trust to deliver a simpler, automated way to analyze and
document the impact of configuration changes on security, performance, and compliance.
FireMon continues to build on the strategy that grew its flagship product
from a firewall analysis tool into the leading Security Analysis and Compliance
solution: to develop tightly integrated, interoperable software with a flexible,
scalable architecture that helps network security teams better manage their security
environments. Unlike other vendors that provide a "one-size fits all" approach and
do not meet the unique analysis and compliance reporting requirements for most organizations,
Security Manager is the only solution on the market that can be customized to meet the unique
audit and compliance reporting requirements for networks of all sizes while enabling
IT organizations to do more with less effort.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to establish FireMon as the premier provider of security analysis
and compliance solutions for network change and configuration management processes,
