You can see your policy. You can't tell if a change is safe.
You see what your rules do and where they conflict. But changes are still manual, and the questions that matter most get answered too late: Will this new access expose a vulnerable system? Does it violate PCI DSS or NERC CIP?
Today, you find out after the rule is in production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Policy Planner is FireMon's firewall change automation software. It manages the full change lifecycle, analyzing proposed rules in real time, checking them against compliance requirements, and deploying them safely across on-premises and cloud environments. It runs as an add-on to FireMon Security Manager.
It performs 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.
Policy Workbench is a new feature within Policy Planner that bridges manual and automated workflows. It delivers immediate rule recommendations and device visibility without requiring full topology mapping, allowing teams to design and test rules in a compliance-aware workspace while accelerating automation readiness.
Yes. It automates the entire rule lifecycle, including rule creation, analysis, and deployment. It stages changes, tracks approvals, and integrates with ITSM tools for efficient and auditable workflows. Policy Workbench bridges manual and automated workflows to accelerate automation readiness.
Yes. It performs pre-deployment compliance checks to ensure all proposed rules meet internal and regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS, NERC-CIP, NIST, and DORA, preventing non-compliant rules from entering production.
Policy Planner focuses on safe change creation and deployment. Identifying redundant, shadowed, or unused rules is handled by Policy Optimizer, and when the two are paired, rule decommissioning is fully automated, closing the loop from rule creation through removal.
Policy Planner integrates with ServiceNow and Remedy, enabling ticket tracking, comment logging, attachment uploads, and automated reviews across change management workflows.
Yes. It's fully customizable to align with your business process management model, supporting custom forms, workflows, and rule validation criteria tailored to your internal controls and audit needs.
No. While it supports firewall rule changes, it also handles modifications to network objects, service objects, and group objects across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
No. Policy Workbench delivers immediate rule recommendations and device visibility without requiring complete topology mapping, allowing teams to gain value from day one while building toward full automation over time.
Yes. Policy Planner is an add-on module that requires FireMon Security Manager as the foundational platform.
