Risk Analyzer by FireMon

Simulate Attacks and Score Risk Instantly

Detect risk through real-time attack surface visibility, simulation, and risk scoring

Find Vulnerabilities Before They Find You

As networks become more complex and the number of vulnerabilities to be discovered and patched continue to multiply, it’s increasingly difficult to get a true assessment of your security risk. Without 100% network visibility and the ability to run attack and change simulations across multi-vendor, hybrid environments, organizations struggle to accurately analyze and improve their overall network risk exposure.

Risk Analyzer for FireMon Policy Manager

The Risk Analyzer module for Policy Manager delivers advanced vulnerability management by correlating third-party vulnerability data with network policy to identify network risk and potential attack paths. With real-time visibility into risk posture, it simulates attacks, calculates attack vectors, predicts potential impact, and presents findings in an intuitive dashboard. Scenario testing also helps security teams prioritize patching by simulating deployments and measuring their effect on overall network risk.

Risk Analyzer Delivers:

Consolidated policy risk assessment and reporting with custom and best practices reports
Risk and threat modeling including attack simulations, change risk simulations, and leak-path detection
Pre-flight risk checks by automatically scanning for risk prior to change deployment
Real-time risk detection and response through violation detection, alerts, and mitigation strategy

Features

Attack and Change Simulations

Run attack and patch simulations to analyze overall network vulnerability and assist in rule design.

Analyze risk attack vectors and perform “what-if” scenarios to identify critical attack vectors
Visual attack paths and zero-day attack graphs trace the possible paths an attacker might use across the network layout
Uncover hidden paths that can be exploited
Simulate system patches to determine the impact of proposed changes prior to deployment
Assess and communicate risk associated with new access requests

“What if” Attack Assessments

Evaluate the impact of exploits and view recommended patches.

Risk attack reports are scored on penetration depth, ease of exploiting the vulnerability, and business impact of the hypothetical breach
Real-time risk dashboard displays prioritized remediation recommendations to help optimize your patch management strategy
Identify where you can stop an attack with the least amount of time and effort

Vulnerability Scanner Integrations

Add additional insights to vulnerabilities with support for the industry’s leading risk scanning services.

Integrate risks feeds from Qualys, Rapid7 and Tenable
Combines real-time network configuration with vulnerability scan data to measure risk and visualize potential attack penetration
Provides additional context for vulnerabilities including CVE, CVSS, effects, and services affected

Frequently asked questions

What is FireMon Risk Analyzer?

FireMon Risk Analyzer is an add-on module for Policy Manager that provides real-time risk assessment by correlating vulnerabilities with network policy, simulating attack paths, and prioritizing remediation based on threat impact.

How does Risk Analyzer improve vulnerability management?

Risk Analyzer improves vulnerability management by integrating with scanners like Qualys, Rapid7, and Tenable to correlate vulnerability data with network policy, helping teams prioritize which issues pose the greatest risk to the business.

Can Risk Analyzer simulate attacks or policy changes?

Yes, Risk Analyzer runs attack and change simulations to model how an attacker could move through your network. It helps security teams visualize risk exposure and understand the impact of proposed rule or patch changes.

How does Risk Analyzer help reduce risk?

Risk Analyzer reduces risk by identifying potential attack vectors, prioritizing vulnerabilities based on exposure and business impact, and providing actionable mitigation guidance to stop attacks before they happen.

What kinds of risks can Risk Analyzer detect?

Risk Analyzer detects misconfigurations, exposed paths to vulnerable assets, overly permissive rules, and potential policy violations that increase an organization’s attack surface.

Does Risk Analyzer integrate with third-party tools?

Yes. Risk Analyzer integrates with leading vulnerability management tools like Tenable, Rapid7, and Qualys to provide enhanced context and real-time visibility into threat posture.

Can Risk Analyzer run “what-if” scenarios?

Absolutely. Risk Analyzer supports “what-if” analysis for attacks and changes, helping teams assess the security implications of adding new rules or delaying patches.

How does Risk Analyzer present risk data?

Risk Analyzer presents risk through a visual dashboard with attack path graphs, risk scores, penetration depth, and remediation recommendations, making it easy to understand and communicate risk to stakeholders.
