Automate firewall change management to eliminate errors and increase business agility.
The Policy Planner module for Policy Manager is a network security automation and orchestration tool that controls the entire change management process while providing analysis, recommendations, and compliance checks prior to implementation. Proposed changes are automatically analyzed and checked against pertinent compliance and best practice guidelines. Rule recommendations compare existing rulesets against proposed changes to eliminate redundancy or duplicate access. With Policy Planner, reviewers can see access paths, vulnerabilities, and even audit results prior to pushing a rule live.
Minimize the opportunity for error and drastically increase speed with security policy orchestration across the entire rule creation and change management process.
Comprehensive analysis of proposed changes detects when new access will uncover vulnerable systems or increase the risk profile.
Determine if proposed changes are unnecessary or redundant in real time through automated analysis of existing rulesets.
Integrate seamlessly with existing process management solutions to ensure the right teams are involved.
FireMon Policy Planner is a change automation and orchestration module for Policy Manager that streamlines and secures the entire firewall and cloud policy change process. It provides automated analysis, compliance checks, and rule recommendations before deployment to reduce risk and accelerate change approvals.
Policy Planner reduces change risk by performing real-time risk assessments and compliance checks before changes are made. It automatically detects if a proposed rule exposes vulnerable systems or violates policy, enabling teams to fix issues before implementation
Yes, Policy Planner automates the entire rule lifecycle, including rule creation, analysis, and deployment. It stages changes, tracks approvals, and integrates with ITSM tools to ensure efficient and auditable workflows.
Yes, Policy Planner performs pre-deployment compliance checks to ensure all proposed rules meet internal and regulatory requirements such as PCI-DSS, NERC-CIP, and more. This prevents non-compliant rules from entering production environments.
Policy Planner analyzes existing rulesets to detect redundancies or overlaps in proposed changes. It delivers real-time recommendations to optimize policies and reduce unnecessary complexity during the change process.
