FireMon Extends Network Security Policy Management Leadership for Hybrid Cloud Environments

New update expands support for datacenter and cloud environments, enhances manageability

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FireMon, the leading network security policy management company that brings visibility, control, agility, and automation to enterprise cloud and hybrid network infrastructure, today announced the availability of updates to the FireMon platform, helping customers to more effectively manage network security policy in existing data centers while enabling secure adoption of the cloud. In this new release, FireMon builds on its commitment to help customers automate cumbersome manual processes and eliminate misconfiguration errors that lead to unplanned downtime, compliance violations, or security exposure.

Key new features include:

• New Integrations: Provides new integrations and full support for VMware NSX-T virtualized network security platform for global hybrid storage environments and A10 Thunder and Lightning™ Application Delivery Controller (ADC).

• Improved Management Station Capabilities: A new foundation for policy changes has been created for management stations and the devices attached to them.
