What it sells: FireMon

What Security Manager does[5][7]
FireMon Security Manager is the foundational platform required by the Policy Planner add-on module. Risk Analyzer requires Security Manager for policy visibility, network topology, and analytics.
What Policy Planner does[5]
Policy Planner manages the full change lifecycle, analyzing proposed rules in real time, checking them against compliance requirements, and deploying them across on-premises and cloud environments. Policy Planner performs pre-deployment compliance checks against requirements such as PCI DSS, NERC-CIP, NIST, and DORA. Policy Planner integrates with ServiceNow and Remedy for ticket tracking and automated reviews. Policy Planner handles modifications to network objects, service objects, and group objects across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
What Policy Optimizer does[2][5]
Policy Optimizer handles identifying redundant, shadowed, or unused rules. Policy Optimizer adds event-driven rule review and recertification to keep policy clean over time. Paired with Policy Planner, Policy Optimizer makes rule decommissioning fully automated.
What Risk Analyzer does[7]
Risk Analyzer provides real-time risk assessment by correlating vulnerabilities with network policy, simulating attack paths, and prioritizing remediation based on threat impact. Risk Analyzer integrates with scanners like Qualys, Rapid7, and Tenable. Risk Analyzer detects misconfigurations, exposed paths to vulnerable assets, overly permissive rules, and potential policy violations that increase attack surface. Risk Analyzer supports what-if analysis for attacks and changes.
What Workbench Agentic AI does[5]
Workbench Agentic AI provides a guided, AI-assisted experience for rule recommendations. The agentic AI assistant analyzes the environment to identify impacted devices and policies, then generates rule and object change recommendations. Engineers review and save the proposed changes, and the plan then proceeds through the applicable assessment and approval workflow before implementation. Workbench Agentic AI requires a FireMon Insights activation.
