SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA CONFERENCE 2012, BOOTH #539 -- FireMon, the leading provider of security management and risk analysis solutions, is providing RSA Conference 2012 participants a range of real-world content, technology insights, and new risk visualization and analysis products.

FireMon's presence at the world's preeminent security conference includes:

Today: From 1:10 – 2:20 p.m. PST in Room 304, FireMon President & Chief Technology Officer Jody Brazil is moderating Firewalls: Security, Access, The Cloud – Past, Present and Future, a panel addressing the white-hot topic of next-generation firewalls and examining the role they can play in the modern network architecture. Panelists include highly-regarded security experts Christofer Hoff, Senior Director, Juniper Networks; Manny Rivelo, Senior Vice President, Security & Strategic Solutions, F5 Networks; and Vikram Phatak, Chief Technology Officer, NSS Labs, Inc.

Also, the world's leading hospitality company – Accor – is a strong example of the complexity involved in maintaining security across a diverse, distributed and dynamic infrastructure. At the FireMon booth, #539, Accor representatives are presenting a case study of the challenges they face in today's landscape and the tools they're using to maximize efficiency and minimize risk.

Tomorrow: FireMon is demonstrating Risk Analyzer, a new real-time network risk modeling and attack simulation solution. Using a patent-pending, risk scenario modeling methodology, Risk Analyzer analyzes network topology and host vulnerabilities to help enterprise security managers make risk-related decisions based on a realistic model of their actual risk.

From 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. PST, legendary hacker Kevin Mitnick will be talking with attendees and autographing free copies of his best-selling book, Ghost in the Wires.

"The threat landscape today is now so complex that enterprises must simultaneously understand the big picture and the devil in the details," said Brazil. "This requires a global understanding and prioritization of risk. It also demands the ability to anticipate and rectify changes in policy or network configuration that at best may result in non-compliance, and at worst can open up gaping security holes offering a pathway to critical assets. FireMon's expertise in understanding these dynamics and providing the tools organizations need to manage it is what's driving a rapidly expanding number of customers to team with us."
