FireMon Integrates NVIDIA Cumulus Support to Secure AI-Intensive Data Centers

FireMon has added NVIDIA Cumulus support into its Policy Manager, enabling unified policy management for AI-driven and high-performance data centers. This integration delivers end-to-end visibility, change automation, and compliance assurance across Cumulus Linux switching environments reinforcing security governance for enterprises managing AI/HPC workloads.

Closing the Security Gap in Cumulus-Powered AI Fabrics

As enterprises scale AI and high-performance computing (HPC), networking fabrics like NVIDIA Cumulus are becoming integral to data center infrastructure. But security and policy governance in those fabrics often lag behind, leaving gaps in control and visibility. FireMon’s new integration brings those fabrics into its unified policy framework, treating them as first-class citizens alongside firewalls, cloud networks, and traditional devices.

With this support, FireMon enables organizations to monitor, manage, and enforce security policy across heterogeneous environments from a single dashboard closing blind spots and reducing risk in AI scale-out networks.

Key Capabilities of the Integration

• Unified Visibility: Cumulus network policies are ingested into Policy Manager, normalized along with existing firewall and cloud policies, enabling consistent analysis across platforms.

• Change Automation: Policy changes can be designed, simulated, and verified using FireMon workflows even for Cumulus environments, reducing manual errors and audit exposure.

• Continuous Compliance: Automated checks compare configurations against policy baselines, flag deviations, generate evidence, and track remediation across data center fabrics.

These capabilities mean that enterprises with complex network environments including AI data centers and open networking fabrics can govern policy “from ground to cloud.”

Why This Integration Matters

FireMon notes that many enterprise firewalls already fail high-severity control audits 60% in some cases—and policy sprawl is a growing concern. By extending governance into the fabric layer, FireMon helps organizations reduce insecure configurations, misalignments, and vulnerabilities that happen when network domains operate under different tools and frameworks.

Because this integration retains FireMon’s vendor-agnostic posture, organizations using Cumulus can preserve their existing ops model while gaining enterprise-grade policy assurance.

Availability & Deployment

The NVIDIA Cumulus support is included in FireMon’s 2025.2.6 feature update. Existing customers can enable it via the standard upgrade process.
