The challenge of securing data that lives outside traditional boundaries of control for network security teams is complex; risks are expanded, while control and visibility are reduced. Extending security monitoring from traditional security infrastructure to include cloud assets is a critical first step, providing FireMon customers with a single pane of glass to ensure proper enforcement across all of their environments.
