Network Security Policy Management for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

FIREMON POLICY MANAGER

Network Security Policy Management for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

FireMon Policy Manager automates network security policy management (NSPM) with real-time analysis and continuous compliance across hybrid environments.

Firewall policies are complex and error-prone

Network security policy management breaks down in hybrid and multi-cloud environments as rule bases grow and manual processes create misconfigurations. These misconfigurations increase outages, slow change workflows, and cause compliance drift across firewalls and cloud platforms. Enterprises need automated network security policy management to reduce risk, validate changes, and maintain continuous, audit-ready compliance at scale.

99% of firewall breaches will be caused by misconfigurations, not firewalls.

Unified Firewall Policy Management

FireMon Policy Manager delivers unified network security policy management for firewalls and cloud security controls across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The platform provides real-time visibility, proactive risk analysis, and automated policy workflows that validate changes before deployment. 

FireMon supports more than 120 firewall, SDN, and cloud platforms, enabling security teams to eliminate misconfigurations, maintain continuous compliance, and accelerate rule changes. It centralizes on-premises and cloud network security policies into a single, scalable system that provides consistent enforcement and audit-ready reporting.

Frequently asked questions

What is network security policy management (NSPM)?

Network security policy management (NSPM) defines, enforces, and automates the rules that govern access across firewalls, cloud platforms, and hybrid networks. NSPM reduces misconfigurations, standardizes policy workflows, and ensures continuous compliance by giving security teams centralized visibility and consistent control over every rule that regulates network behavior.

What problems does FireMon Policy Manager solve?

FireMon Policy Manager reduces risk by identifying misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and policy drift across firewalls and cloud security groups. It automates network security policy management to accelerate rule changes, maintain continuous compliance, and eliminate manual processes that cause outages and audit failures in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

How does Policy Manager help with compliance?

FireMon Policy Manager enforces compliance by continuously checking network security policies against PCI-DSS, NERC-CIP, GDPR, and custom standards. It detects violations in real time, automates rule recertification workflows, and documents every policy change. This approach ensures continuous compliance and provides complete audit-ready evidence across firewalls, cloud platforms, and hybrid environments.

What kind of environments does FireMon support?

FireMon Policy Manager supports on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments by normalizing policies across more than 120 firewall, cloud, and SDN platforms. It scales from hundreds to tens of thousands of devices and provides centralized visibility, consistent enforcement, and unified network security policy management across global enterprise environments.

Can FireMon automate policy changes?

Yes, FireMon Policy Manager automates policy changes by validating every rule for risk and compliance, integrating with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow, and deploying approved updates to firewalls and cloud network security controls. It manages the entire rule lifecycle to reduce manual effort, prevent misconfigurations, and accelerate secure access change delivery.

How does FireMon detect policy risk?

FireMon Policy Manager detects policy risk by analyzing firewall and cloud access control rules for vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, and violations of best practices. It prioritizes risks using SCI scoring, models potential attack paths, and identifies exposures that adversaries could exploit. This continuous assessment allows teams to remediate high-risk policies before they impact the environment.

How fast is FireMon?

FireMon Policy Manager delivers high performance by processing up to 25 million rules and 15,000 devices with sub-10-second search and analysis times. It accelerates rule changes by up to 90%, reduces audit preparation workloads, and provides real-time visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud policy environments at enterprise scale.

How does FireMon NSPM compare to Tufin and AlgoSec?

FireMon outperforms Tufin and AlgoSec by delivering real-time visibility, faster searches, and proven scalability across 15,000 devices and 25 million rules. FireMon provides an open API, instant SiQL analysis, and stronger performance at enterprise scale, while Tufin and AlgoSec often slow down or rely on stale policy data.

What kind of ROI can we expect from FireMon?

FireMon Policy Manager delivers strong ROI by reducing audit preparation time, preventing misconfigurations, and accelerating rule changes by up to 90%. Customers report more than $2 million in annual savings, lower staffing requirements, and fewer compliance violations as automated workflows eliminate manual labor and ensure consistent enforcement across hybrid environments.
