FireMon announced the general
availability of
FireMon Asset Manager
5.1. This latest release includes several enhancements from Version 5.0
that launched in May this year, the most significant being its
integration with ServiceNow.
Now available on the ServiceNow store
as a plugin, FireMon Asset Manager 5.1 ensures smooth and automatic
data synchronization across both platforms. Organizations can enhance
their IP Address Management (IPAM) and asset management processes while
streamlining operations to improve business efficiencies. The ServiceNow
plugin is a perfect fit for enterprises looking to gain a unified view
of their assets while significantly reducing their manual data handling.
Additionally, the ServiceNow integration means users can seamlessly
import detailed Asset Manager device data. This data includes IP
address, MAC, device type, OS, model, vendor, serial number, and DNS
name which is integrated into a customizable ServiceNow table for
enhanced asset management. Furthermore, organizations can easily export
any ServiceNow tables to Asset Manager with a single click to streamline
the data transfer process further.
The FireMon Asset Manager 5.1 plugin in ServiceNow enables the
scheduling of data transfers between the two platforms to ensure
information is always up to date and consistent across systems. Through
this synchronized environment, organizations can enrich their ServiceNow
data model to generate in-depth reports and create dynamic workspaces.
Ultimately, this will help drive smarter decisions and streamline
operations using the newly integrated asset information.
"The ServiceNow plugin is designed to further strengthen the value
proposition of the FireMon Asset Manager real-time cybersecurity asset
management solution by enabling network and security teams across the
ServiceNow environment to gain full visibility into their entire network
infrastructure," said Justin Stouder, CTO of FireMon.
Beyond the Service Now store integration, FireMon Asset Manager 5.1 has
also been enhanced with single sign-on support for the GUI. The solution
now also features a migrated cloud scanner to new Azure and AWS
libraries to improve device discovery. For example, FireMon Asset
Manager 5.1 can ingest AWS and Azure devices without IP addresses. The
update brings significant performance improvements as well.
"FireMon Asset Manager has earned a reputation as a solution that
provides real-time active, passive, and targeted network and device
discovery to detect unknown, rogue, shadow clouds, network
infrastructure, and endpoints in the enterprise. Version 5.1 takes this
and further enhances the functionality to offer organizations an even
more efficient way of gaining complete visibility into all network
assets behind a single-pane-of-glass," concludes Stouder.
