Cyber Security Solutions for
the Federal Government

Network Security Risk and Policy Management solutions deliver monitoring, analysis and proactive risk analysis for large, complex federal networks.

Most federal agencies have very difficult cyber security challenges including the storage of large amounts confidential data, numerous, sophisticated threats, and complex network infrastructures. Many compliance regulations and guidelines were meant to help ensure the correct protection is given to the data these agencies store online, but those standards can be difficult to meet and comply with manually.

FireMon Security Manager is a powerful, cost-effective solution for monitoring, assessing and improving the network security posture of federal agencies. Security Manager improves security posture by making daily operations more efficient, providing powerful configuration analysis and proactively reducing risk.

Continuous Monitoring

FireMon's Security Manager provides a strong foundation for monitoring, assessing and controlling a broad array of network security devices. Devices are monitored in real-time for configuration changes and complete audit log details are captured. Configuration standards are available to automatically assess the new configuration of any device and notifications of non-standard configurations are reported. Control of network configuration can be measured and enforced with complete analysis of security posture including identification of weaknesses and open attack paths.

Operational Security Effectiveness

Every large network struggles to plan, engineer, and implement hundreds of changes a week on and across many network security devices while making sure those new changes aren't adding additional risk. Federal agencies should consider Security Manager to address these challenges. Start with better planning using our state of the art operations tool, Policy Planner. Reduce time and effort while making better changes with our analysis features. Capture and record all changes for compliance. And ensure every change reduces the overall risk posture before implementation.

Real-time Assessment For Federal Standards

Security Manager provides real-time assessment of security device configurations. Built on an open, extensible, highly scalable platform Security Manager's knowledge base of configuration criteria allows for the control of any configuration against federal standards. Configurations are evaluated in real-time and failures are disseminated as detailed notifications and security events.

Proactive Risk Measurement

Federal agencies can benefit from managing their networks from a risk-based perspective — balancing the need for access with the potential harm from compromise. Security Manager provides that risk picture and integrates it into security operations, enabling risk to drive your daily decisions. There isn't risk in every vulnerability. Those that aren't accessible, don't increase risk. The key is finding those that are accessible and understanding how that access may put other assets at risk.

With Security Manager, your risk becomes apparent. It can measure the risk potential from any source, provide prioritized recommendations on how to reduce your exposure and build risk into your change process to know risk before implementation.
