One misconfigured rule is one too many
Firewall misconfigurations are the leading cause of network security breaches. As environments grow more complex, manual policy management becomes error-prone and time-consuming.
You can't fix what you don't know is broken. FireMon's Policy Analyzer reveals the hidden risks in your firewall policy so you can take immediate action.
“99% of firewall breaches will be caused by misconfigurations, not firewalls.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What firewall vendors does Policy Analyzer support?
Policy Analyzer supports configurations from all major firewall vendors including Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Cisco, Check Point, and Juniper. If you’re unsure about compatibility, contact us and we’ll confirm.
How long does it take to get my report?
Most assessments are completed within minutes of uploading your configuration file. You’ll receive your diagnostic report via email as soon as the analysis is complete.
Do I need to install anything?
You’ll need to download our lightweight configuration retriever tool to securely extract your firewall policy. The tool requires Docker for Desktop and network access to your firewall. Once you’ve generated the configuration file, simply upload it to Policy Analyzer—no permanent FireMon software installation required.
What exactly will I receive?
You’ll get a comprehensive diagnostic report including your overall complexity score, total failure count, top areas of improvement, key risk indicators (overly permissive rules, shadowed policies, vendor hardening gaps), and prioritized remediation recommendations. You’ll also receive downloadable reports you can share with your team or stakeholders.
Is my firewall data secure?
Yes. FireMon takes data security seriously. Your configuration data is analyzed in a secure environment and is not shared with third parties. We use industry-standard encryption and security practices to protect your information.
What happens after I run the assessment?
After reviewing your report, you can validate whether policy changes improve your scores by running additional assessments. If you’d like to explore how FireMon Security Manager can help you manage policy across your entire environment, we’ll connect you with a FireMon expert for a personalized demo.
How is this different from the full FireMon platform?
Policy Analyzer provides a diagnostic assessment of a single firewall configuration. FireMon Security Manager is our enterprise platform that continuously monitors and automates policy management across thousands of firewalls, cloud security groups, and Zero Trust segmentation platforms. Policy Analyzer gives you immediate insight; Security Manager gives you complete control.
What are the technical requirements?
You’ll need network access and credentials for your firewall, Docker for Desktop, and the ability to run our offline configuration retriever tool. The entire process takes just a few minutes. Check our list of supported devices to confirm compatibility with your firewall vendor.
Is there really no cost?
Yes, Policy Analyzer is completely free with no credit card required. The configuration retriever tool and analysis are both provided at no charge.
