FireMon today
announced the latest versions of the FireMon Security Manager and
Lumeta Spectre platforms, which now deliver full visibility into
enterprise attack surfaces and complete network anomaly detection across
on-premises, virtual and cloud environments. With this added
functionality, FireMon, the company that pioneered Network Security
Policy Management as a critical business function, further solidifies
its market leadership by enabling enterprises to automate and
orchestrate security operations, so they are more agile and responsive
to business requirements.
The
migration of enterprise application workloads to public cloud
environments has rapidly changed the way in which hybrid enterprises do
business, but these environments come with often unforeseen security
considerations. The lack of visibility and automation, the growing
complexity of monitoring security controls and changes, and the need to
maintain compliance spanning on-premises, virtual and multi-cloud
environments, make it extremely difficult for security professionals to
respond to business needs in a timely manner. This creates a tension
between the business, which needs to innovate quickly with new
applications and services, and stretched cybersecurity teams, who must
ensure that these applications and services meet enterprise security
requirements.
The
FireMon enhancements help relieve this tension by giving security
personnel new capabilities for understanding the enterprise attack
surface and automating cloud security management. These updated
solutions include:
- Lumeta
Spectre 3.3.2, which now extends the end-to-end visibility required to
discover and secure all IT assets to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and
Microsoft Azure users. This functionality enables customers to expose
and remediate hidden sources of risk and reduce their overall enterprise
attack surface.
- FireMon
Security Manager 8.23 now meets the demands of agile businesses with
optimized visibility to the major cloud platforms. With this update,
FireMon provides visibility to all network security devices, both cloud
and standard firewalls, for large enterprises that work within both
types of security models.
"Enterprises
thrive on flexibility and scale. Our ability to deliver true ‘single
pane of glass' visibility and control to our customers is a strategic
advantage that moves our customers significantly farther down the
security maturity curve, across all assets, in all environments," said
FireMon President and CEO Satin H. Mirchandani. "We are positioned to
deliver unmatched visibility, automation and orchestration capabilities
for securing the hybrid enterprise - which, thanks to today's next-gen
cloud and virtualized architectures, is the new reality."
