Fast, Not Furious - Proper Security Management and Threat Research Prevents Hidden ThreatsEvery security professional faces the same challenge each morning - “what do I do first?” Upcoming infrastructure upgrades, the latest breach headlines, and urgent requests for system access compete for attention every day. How can you and your team be the most effective? Making Fact-Based Decisions Using Real-Time Data By consistently making fact-based decisions, based on the best operations data, that reflect your organization’s priorities. Mountains of data – configuration changes, new vulnerabilities, network traffic – is collected daily in your infrastructure. But what’s missing are methods and tools to visualize and assess this relentless flood. So taking actions that “feel” right can actually raise your risk posture, compromise policy compliance and halt critical operations. This webcast will introduce the principles of fact-based network security and how FireMon’s policy and risk management solutions paired with Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs cutting edge research enable automated processes for making data-driven decisions that reduce your risk posture and keep the business running. |

Clean Up Unruly Firewall Rule BasesIn most organizations firewall rule bases are out of control. Individual firewalls can have several hundreds to a thousand rules each, and hidden, shadowed and overlapping rules exist in almost every firewall. Studies indicate that as many as 50% of existing rules are unused, due to operations staff errors, reactive access changes, and continuous policy revisions. In this environment making needed changes takes too long, important compliance audits are failed and network performance is impacted. But how do you get started and make progress - without making the situation worse? Advanced firewall policy and change management tools can quickly show you:
Rule base size and complexity will decrease, leading to increased efficiency in making new changes. Auditing will be quicker and less expensive. And your firewalls will last longer. Learn how FireMon Security Manager provides both security and operations teams with the in-depth visibility and control needed to effectively cleanup unruly firewall rule bases. |

Building Risk Visibility into Your Firewall Management ProcessFirewall deployments in large organizations can easily get out of control – and become rife with unnecessary risk. Inappropriate access is granted readily. Constant change complicates policy implementation. A real-time, enterprise-wide picture of network security posture is a distant dream. Only by automating tedious manual processes at the operations, management and compliance levels of the organization can security teams regain control and better protect their information. This requires consolidated, real-time data of the security infrastructure and a scalable, distributed solution that provides fast, flexible analysis and reporting. This webcast provides pragmatic advice on new technologies that will put hours back into each day, including how to:

Expanding Visibility of Enterprise Network Behavior – New Security Manager V6.1Increasing visibility to increase security is a trusted tenant of IT security.Detailed visibility into reachable network assets is critical in identifying potential risks. What if you had deep inspection data of each risk path - think how precise and effective remediation could be. Device configuration data, locked in individual vendor data formats, can be misconfigured and create attack openings. Imagine how a single integrated view of firewall configuration data would help security teams uncover potential weaknesses before they could be exploited. New Version 6.1 of Security Manager from FireMon puts these advanced capabilities in the IT security team's toolkit. Join this webcast for full details and a demonstration of: FireMon Access Path Analysis - Identifies the risk path through the network, including the interfaces, routes, security rules and address translation rules that allow the access path that introduces risk. Access Path Analysis gives security teams the information necessary to reduce risk without impacting network operations. FireMon Insight - Combines a powerful web-based dashboard with a new domain-specific FireMon Query Language (FMQL) for unprecedented visibility into the current state of network and security configurations. Insight enables rapid, ad-hoc queries and audit checks to retrieve information from the configurations, changes and usage analysis stored by Security Manager. |

Implementing ISO 27001: Proactively Managing Risk within the NetworkDo you have an ISO 27001 business objective to manage risk on your network? Finding it hard to identify and quantify risk?Risk is not solely defined by vulnerabilities. Network security infrastructures go a long way towards limiting risk, but are very difficult to quantify exactly how and where those countermeasures are effective via prioritisation. Attend this information-packed presentation by FireMon to learn how you can leverage your network security controls to drastically improve your measurement and prioritisation of risk. You will learn:

Risk Ranking and Vulnerabilities – Meeting the New PCI-DSS 6.2 RequirementWhile the PCI standard has always focused on effective handling of vulnerabilities, Requirement 6.2 now requires that risk rankings be assigned to newly discovered vulnerabilities. This will provide meaningful information to IT security teams as they assess overall risk and determine priorities. Organizations need to look at three critical steps – vulnerability identification, risk ranking and remediation – to comply with this new requirement.This webcast will give compliance teams the pragmatic information needed to fully understand this new requirement and insight into new technology that can help automate implementation, including:

Manging Firewall Changes – Make the Right Change the First TimeAccess change is constant because the business has new requirements. So, changing firewall policies is required, but there’s a big difference between good change and bad change. And, regulations and compliance frameworks require timely firewall auditing, so documented justification of all changes needs to be readily available.Does your change process identify bad changes before it's too late? Can change workflow be automated to increase accuracy and reduce manual efforts? Join this webcast to learn how firewall-intelligent workflow solutions can:

Risk Profile Assessment Revealed: Visualise Your Own Unique Threat LandscapeMore than three-quarters of security professionals have an information security risk plan in place, yet 76% do not have confidence in their solutions' ability to inform them of the state of their security and risk. – SC MagazineAre you part of the 76%? Mountains of network security data is collected, and reacted to, every day. However, a 2012 information security professional worth their salt needs to be proactive. This requires an effective risk profile, or risk posture, management system that identifies the most potent threats and vulnerabilities to his/her own organisation, given their specific network architecture and configurations. |

Actionable Intelligence Through Risk Posture AssessmentMountains of network security data is collected every day, including policy updates, configuration changes, new vulnerabilities and network traffic. But this information documents activity and events that have already happened and can only be looked at reactively.To proactively improve risk posture, which is how threats and vulnerabilities can impact individual organizations given their unique network architectures and specific configuration profiles, real time risk visibility and analysis is need. But security teams lacks both methods and tools to visualize and assess risk. So taking action that feels right can raise your risk posture, compromise policy compliance and halt business operations. |
