Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Azure Firewall Manager?

Azure Firewall Manager is a centralized security management service that allows you to manage Azure firewall policies across multiple regions and subscriptions. It simplifies administration by enabling consistent rule enforcement, policy deployment, and global traffic governance, making it easier to manage Azure firewall configurations at enterprise scale.

Can FireMon Support Multiple Azure Regions and Subscriptions?

Yes, FireMon supports multiple Azure regions and subscriptions by providing centralized visibility and control over all Azure managed firewall deployments. It allows organizations to manage multiple Azure firewall instances across environments, ensuring consistent policy enforcement, automated cleanup, and streamlined security management across complex, distributed infrastructures.

Does FireMon Offer Compliance Auditing for the Deployment of Azure Firewalls?

Yes, FireMon provides compliance auditing for Azure firewall deployments by analyzing policies, monitoring network traffic, and applying threat intelligence. This enables detection of violations, mapping to regulatory frameworks, and generation of audit-ready reports—helping teams maintain secure, compliant environments without manual effort or reactive assessments.

What’s the Difference Between Microsoft Azure Firewall and Network Security Groups (NSGs)?

Microsoft Azure Firewall is a stateful, centralized network security service that inspects and filters traffic across VNETs, while NSGs are stateless access control lists applied to subnets or interfaces. Azure Firewall offers more advanced capabilities like application filtering, threat intelligence, and logging compared to basic NSG rule enforcement.

How Does FireMon Detect and Eliminate Risky or Redundant Azure Firewall Rules?

FireMon continuously analyzes Azure firewall policies to detect overly permissive, shadowed, or unused rules. It uses traffic data, rule usage trends, and risk scoring to recommend remediation. By automating rule cleanup and validation, FireMon helps eliminate misconfigurations and strengthen Azure firewall security posture over time.
