Broadcasting live from RSAC’s Broadcast Alley, Techstrong Group’s Alan Shimel reconnects with longtime friend and FireMon CEO Jody Brazil to explore the chaotic evolution of network security policy management. While the industry’s shift toward Zero Trust and micro-segmentation is undeniably the right move, Brazil candidly explains how it has created a massive administrative nightmare of fragmented rules and billions of complex access paths that human brains simply cannot process alone. To combat this sprawl, Brazil details how FireMon is leveraging AI-driven chatbots and analytics to bring operational control back to the enterprise, while also highlighting their raw, practitioner-focused “Cyber Confessionals” podcast that exposes the unvarnished reality of keeping the modern business online.
