FireMon has launched into the UK market during Infosecurity Europe 2016, Europe’s largest information security industry event. The company addresses network security infrastructure, policy and risk management issues with a comprehensive suite of products that arm security and IT personnel with the contextual intelligence to identify threats within their networks and make quick decisions. Its full range of products will be distributed by WestConGroup, a value-added global distributor, through its Westcon Security Solutions portfolio.
“Organisations have invested millions in defence technologies and equipment often solving just one security issue at a time,” said Ottavio Camponeschi, VP EMEA, FireMon. “Disparate layers of prevention tools – hardware and software based – firewalls, IPS, web gateway protection, anti-intrusion and so forth have created a complex, unmanageable environment. This complexity is exactly the problem facing the market today. Despite massive investments in defenses, organisations are still vulnerable, and that’s where FireMon’s technology can help.”
FireMon’s suite of security management products allows customers to increase their security posture by connecting all the dots of these disparate networking technologies in one heterogeneous environment. It is a complete package of policy analysis, risk management and automated change workflows that gives security professionals a centralised view of the traffic, rule usage and changes happening across the environment.
For example, the Security Manager platform encompasses all routers, switches, proxy servers, firewalls and next generation firewalls (NGFWs) in a single platform that does more than simply manage security devices. Earlier this year, an IANS report confirmed that FireMon customers on average experience a total cost saving from their security investment in excess of ?620k over a three year period using the Security Manager platform.
To close the loop on security management, FireMon’s security analytics platform, Immediate Insight, enables threat response with the ability to connect real-time, immediate event analytics to policy enhancement that addresses the more obscure firewall vulnerabilities.
“The reality is that IT managers and CISOs already have the tools at their disposal to secure their organisations, but they have not been configured or managed to effectively meet the changing demands of the business,” continued Camponeschi.
“By working with channel partners, I am confident that we will deliver the right products to not only meet these market demands, but also enable organisations to realise greater operational efficiencies and a lower total cost of ownership.”
