Firemon’s Jody Brazil on the security policy control plane

Zero Trust has become the dominant security architecture for hybrid and cloud environments, but many organizations are discovering that deploying enforcement technologies alone does not deliver operational control. Firewalls, cloud security groups, and microsegmentation platforms enforce access decisions, yet the policies behind those controls are often fragmented, difficult to validate, and constantly changing.

In this conversation, FireMon CEO Jody Brazil discusses why modern security architectures increasingly require a security policy control plane: a layer that continuously validates how policy is enforced across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation platforms.

The discussion explores why policy drift occurs in real environments, how enforcement systems become difficult to coordinate at scale, and what organizations must do to ensure Zero Trust policies remain consistent as infrastructure evolves.
