Every day, enterprise network environments become increasingly complex due to the constant introduction of new devices, applications, and cloud services. Manual tools are not sufficient to keep up with the pace, leaving firewall and security policies nearly impossible to manage and open the door to compliance violations and misconfigurations that can lead to unplanned outdates and data breaches. To mitigate these risks, FireMon Security Manager is essential in enabling SonicWall network users to efficiently manage policies to eliminate policy-related risk, accurately change rules, and meet internal and external compliance requirements.

The FireMon-SonicWall Networks partnership enables companies to effectively manage the complexity of firewall policies to:

• Manage firewall rule changes and policies that span SonicWall and devices from other vendors
• Achieve and maintain compliance of firewall policies with internal and external standards
• Migrate Firewall policy to SonicWall devices or to the cloud to simplify rule review, cleaning, and staging for migration
• Manage multi-vendor firewall policy by gathering devices and policies across the entire environment with built-in support for over 80 vendors

FireMon gathers rules and policies from every firewall across the environment, including SonicWall firewalls and firewalls from other vendors, then stores them in a centralized rule repository.

With this customers can:

• Detect new policies and changes to existing policies with real-time change monitoring

Enforce security and compliance across a range of network devices, whether an entire network is 100%  SonicWall firewalls and SonicWall firewall management consoles, or a combination of various vendors.

With FireMon, customers can:

• Produce accurate compliance reports in minutes
• Run built-in or customized reports for standards including PCI-DSS, NERC-CIP, NIST, and GDPR
• Identify policy violation in existing rules and catch new ones before they’re deployed
• Automate rule reviews and recertification
