With seasoned leaders, in-region resources, and a channel-first commitment, FireMon accelerates momentum across Latin America.

FireMon, the leading network security and firewall policy management company, today announced accelerating momentum in Latin America, driven by strong customer traction in Brazil and Mexico and a deep commitment to the region. With veteran security leaders, supported by in-region sales engineering talent, customer success teams, and a robust channel network, FireMon is delivering the visibility, compliance, and automation enterprises now demand.

Jose Ortega, Sales Director for North LATAM, has built strong relationships with public and private sector organizations across the region. With more than 15 years of experience in the USA and LATAM markets, Ortega has helped transform North LATAM into one of the company’s most profitable and rapidly expanding regions. His track record includes leading business development initiatives, developing strategic channel partnerships, and guiding sales teams through periods of sustained growth and expansion. Under his leadership, FireMon continues to expand networks of VARs, resellers, and technology partners to strengthen its position in LATAM while aligning with corporate objectives.

In South LATAM, Roberto Dud, Sales Director for the region, is a key driver of FireMon’s success. Based in São Paulo, he brings nearly a decade of cybersecurity experience leading business growth and channel development across the region. Dud has a proven track record in building strategic partnerships, expanding regional presence, and delivering initiatives that accelerate revenue while strengthening the cybersecurity ecosystem. His background spans engineering, pre-sales, and enterprise client support, with a reputation for navigating complex challenges across diverse industries. He has redefined customer expectations in markets long dominated by legacy vendors, positioning FireMon as the modern standard for network policy management.

The company is also expanding its presence through dedicated support resources, including Talia LaVache, now based in Mexico City, to strengthen customer engagement and ensure a consistent, localized experience across the region.

Together, Ortega, Dud, and FireMon’s in-region support teams enable the company to engage deeply with customers and the vast ecosystem of partners, streamline implementation, and provide hands-on partnership across every stage of the security lifecycle. Whether navigating regional compliance, integrating with local infrastructure, or advancing Zero Trust, they deliver results that global teams cannot replicate.

“This is about owning our advantage. Jose and Roberto aren’t just boots on the ground; they are operators with real traction. They’ve earned the trust of the region’s most complex enterprise environments,” said Kristen Twining, Senior Vice President of Sales, Americas at FireMon. “Latin America doesn’t need another vendor; it requires a partner that can deliver visibility, automation, and control across hybrid environments. That’s FireMon.”

FireMon Insights reveals that 60% of firewalls fail initial compliance checks, a critical vulnerability exposing organizations to operational disruption, compliance challenges, and financial loss. As LATAM organizations accelerate their adoption of Zero Trust, microsegmentation, and policy-driven security, the demand for visibility, automation, and continuous improvement has never been greater.

Recent innovations such as FireMon Insights and integration with Illumio enable enterprises to benchmark performance, automate security, and strengthen firewall and segmentation policies at scale. This combination positions FireMon not just as a solution provider, but as a business enabler across LATAM.

With the network security policy management (NSPM) market projected to reach nearly $35 billion globally by 2032, FireMon’s extensible, multi-vendor platform creates a significant opportunity for resellers, MSSPs, and technology partners to capture growth. The company’s expanded Americas team further strengthens its ability to serve customers and partners with agility.

“We’re seeing the tide turn. From Mexico to Brazil, enterprises are demanding better insight, better performance, better support, and FireMon delivers all three,” said Nicole Stavroff, Vice President of Worldwide Channels & Alliances.

“We’ve been building up our presence and focus in LATAM, and we are really starting to feel the momentum. It is very rewarding to see how excited our channel and alliance partners are about our integrated solutions and how customers are responding to the value we bring to them. We are looking forward to continuing our growth in LATAM."
