CBI Partners with FireMon to Deliver IT Risk Management Solutions
FireMon Security Intelligence Platform Provides Foundation to Help Organizations Proactively Strengthen Their Overall Network Security Posture
TROY, Mich. and OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Sept. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Breakthroughs, Inc., (CBI), one of the fastest-growing IT Risk Management companies in the world, today announced a partnership with FireMon, the industry leader in proactive security intelligence solutions. Delivering solutions based on the FireMon Security Intelligence Platform, CBI will provide real-time visibility into organizations' network security infrastructure, policy effectiveness and underlying IT risk, empowering them with actionable information to strengthen their overall security posture.
CBI develops and delivers innovative IT advisory services, network security, integration and infrastructure management strategies. A trusted partner and valued advisor, CBI works with Fortune 500 companies across several industries with a special focus on the financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and government sectors.
"IT risk management is not a point solution, it's based on assessing risk and building a framework for making informed, intelligent decisions and enacting timely security to protect an organization's network and data," said Steve Barone, CEO of CBI. "FireMon is a foundational solution in ensuring our customers have tight controls over their network and assisting them in eliminating vulnerabilities while reducing operational and compliance costs."
The FireMon Security Intelligence Platform allows organizations to remediate exposed vulnerabilities and optimize their existing defenses. Unlike reactive approaches that simply log past events, Security Manager – the cornerstone of the Security Intelligence Platform – enables users to understand and fix configuration, policy and risk exposures in real-time. Complementing Security Manager, Risk Analyzer offers patented risk analysis capabilities that identify and prioritize vulnerabilities on key IT assets that are reachable by adversaries, ensuring that the greatest impact risks are mitigated first.
The latest addition to the FireMon Security Intelligence Platform, Policy Optimizer, helps organizations rapidly improve and adapt network security device rules and policies in response to changing threats, emerging management challenges and evolving compliance requirements. The newly announced module is the first solution to automate a traditionally manual, fragmented process bridging the "access gap" existing between network security teams and other officials. Policy Optimizer empowers network security teams to engage directly with line-of-business, audit/compliance, IT risk management and other key stakeholders to gather data and validate rule requests, eliminate unneeded rules and make implemented rules more targeted, productive and effective, while maintaining the highest levels of security control.
"FireMon continues to expand its portfolio of proactive security intelligence solutions with the specific goal of allowing our partners to deliver extremely valuable and differentiated capabilities," said Todd DeBell, Vice President of North American Channel Sales at FireMon. "With the introduction of Policy Optimizer, we've directly enabled key partners like CBI to help organizations overcome a crucial network security management hurdle, increasing the depth and value of their respective solutions and services offerings."
