This feature performs "What If" attack assessments, simulating system patches to determine impact prior to deployment. The software can uncover exploitable hidden paths and meticulously assess the risk associated with proposed access requests. FireMon scores risk reports based on penetration depth, ease of exploit, and the business impact of a hypothetical breach.

The platform detects threats and accelerates investigations through powerful prioritization and data enrichment. This feature coordinates responses with deployment owners and DevOps teams, utilizing crucial ChatOps and workflow integrations. The software aids in speeding up investigations by providing an identity-attributed change history for granular accountability and context.

FireMon Cloud Defense continuously monitors API activity within cloud deployments, ensuring comprehensive visibility. This feature updates a searchable cloud asset inventory with a full change history, including the Identity and Access Management (IAM) entity responsible. The platform also runs customizable, real-time security assessments to detect misconfigurations and track continuous compliance.

Users can reduce identity-related risks by analyzing and validating network security policies against user access rights. This functionality detects overly permissive rules and exposed network paths that could be exploited by internal or external identities. The software correlates vulnerability data with policy configuration to restrict unauthorized access and enforce least-privilege principles proactively.

FireMon identifies, monitors, and protects all assets within the organization’s IT landscape. This includes diverse components like hardware, virtual machines, cloud-based assets, and other connected devices.
