Zero Trust & Microsegmentation Governance

Zero Trust and microsegmentation define how access should work. FireMon ensures those intentions stay aligned with real network policy across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation controls as environments evolve and scale.

Zero Trust strategies require coordination
as environments evolve.

Most Zero Trust initiatives start with strong design principles but require ongoing coordination as they scale into production. As applications change, exceptions accumulate, and environments grow more complex, segmentation intent and network policy can become misaligned. Without continuous governance, teams lose confidence in what is actually allowed, what is blocked, and how alignment is maintained across enforcement layers.

Make Zero Trust work at scale without slowing the business

FireMon bridges the gap between Zero Trust intent and real-world enforcement. By governing Zero Trust microsegmentation and network policy together, FireMon helps organizations operate Zero Trust continuously, not just define it once.

  • Govern microsegmentation intent across enforcement layers
  • Keep firewall, cloud, and segmentation policies aligned over time
  • Detect policy divergence, overexposure, and violations early
  • Enable safer, faster changes while maintaining Zero Trust alignment
  • Prove segmentation and access controls during audits and reviews

Microsegmentation Intent Governance

Define what should be allowed and keep it consistent everywhere.

FireMon provides a governance layer above microsegmentation platforms to define, validate, and continuously assess segmentation intent. Teams can ensure that logical access policies remain consistent as workloads move, applications evolve, and enforcement rules change underneath, governing intent across platforms like Illumio alongside firewalls and cloud controls.

Microsegmentation platforms such as Illumio provide enforcement at the workload layer, while FireMon complements them with cross-domain governance and validation across the broader network and cloud environment.

Network Policy Alignment Across Firewalls and Cloud

Eliminate blind spots between segmentation and network controls.

Microsegmentation does not exist in isolation. FireMon correlates segmentation intent with firewall and cloud network policy to expose gaps, overlaps, and inconsistencies that may emerge as environments evolve, helping teams maintain coordinated Zero Trust enforcement across domains.

Continuous governance, change control, and audit readiness

Operate Zero Trust continuously and prove it at any moment.

Zero Trust is not static and must be continuously validated. As environments evolve, alignment between zero trust microsegmentation and access controls must be actively maintained.

FireMon verifies that segmentation and network policies remain aligned with intent, evaluates proposed changes before implementation, and captures defensible evidence across enforcement layers. Teams can identify divergence early, reduce complexity during change, and demonstrate that Zero Trust is actively governed across technologies.

FireMon governs Zero Trust intent across enforcement layers to maintain alignment as environments evolve.

FireMon’s approach to Zero Trust and microsegmentation is built for real environments. It works across vendors, enforcement models, and architectures, supporting both legacy networks and modern segmentation platforms. By separating governance from enforcement, FireMon gives organizations flexibility to evolve their Zero Trust strategy while maintaining coordinated policy validation across platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this solution dependent on Illumio?

No. FireMon supports governance of microsegmentation intent across environments. Illumio is a leading example of modern microsegmentation enforcement, but FireMon’s value is broader and enforcement-agnostic.

How is this different from Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

ZTNA focuses on user-to-application access. FireMon govern segmentation and network policy across workloads, applications, and infrastructure, addressing a broader Zero Trust control problem.

Does FireMon replace microsegmentation platforms?

No. Microsegmentation platforms provide enforcement within zero trust microsegmentation architectures. FireMon complements them by governing and validating intent across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation controls to help ensure policies remain aligned over time.

Can this work in hybrid environments?

Yes. FireMon governs policy across on-prem, cloud, and segmented environments from a single system of record.
