[ The Big Shift ]

From Address-Based to Resource-Based Security

Traditional network security relies on static IP addresses, like sending mail to a building.

FireMon Connect shifts to resource-based decisions, like sending email to a person. Access follows identity, not location.

The Old Way

Policy defined by network location

No awareness of device, intent, or access rights

Any device can be at either location

No way to know if device is still there

The FireMon Connect Way

Policy defined by resource/device identity

Full awareness of device, intent, access rights

Location no longer matters

Automatic resource identification/updates

Resource-Aware Decisions

Define access based on what resources are, not where they are.

Automatic Maintenance

Policies update as infrastructure changes, no manual intervention.

Real-Time Context

Pulls live data from CMDB, cloud platforms, and security tools.

Enforcement Neutral

Works with your existing firewalls, NSPM, and enforcement systems.

Four Steps to Adaptive Security

Step 1

Ingest Resource Data

Pull data from the systems you already trust

Step 2

Normalize Resources

Correlate IPs, attributes, tags, and identity context

Step 3

Create Dynamic Groups

Build policy objects that update as resources change

Step 4

Drive Policy Decisions

Evaluate access requests and route enforcement

[ Day 1 Value ]

Evidence-Based Entitlement Removal from Day One

Connect correlates signals from your existing systems to identify resources that should have access removed — from day one, without waiting for a full deployment.

[ Use Cases ]

Three High-Value Workflows

Challenge: Access requests are manual, IP-based, requiring multiple teams — increasing risk and causing delays

Define access using resource identity and context
Automatic request mapping to resource identity
Validation against policy boundaries before change
Route and implement via existing workflows

Connect and Security Manager: Better Together

Connect decides access. Security Manager enforces it.

Connect works alongside Security Manager, and can also integrate with other enforcement systems and native cloud controls.

Security Manager

Manages and enforces policy

Works with firewall rules

Based on IP addresses and zones

Policy lifecycle and compliance

Evaluates existing rules and changes

Reactive to change requests

Operates at enforcement layer

FireMon Connect

Decides what policy should exist

Works with resources, identity, and context

Based on resource attributes and relationships

Access intent and decisioning

Determines what access should be allowed or removed

Proactive and continuously adapting

Operates at decision/control layer
