Techniques for fine-grained firewall policy enforcement using session APP ID and endpoint process ID correlation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for fine-grained firewall policy enforcement using session APP ID and endpoint process ID correlation includes receiving, at a network device on an enterprise network, process identification (ID) information from an endpoint (EP) agent executed on an EP device, in which the process identification information identifies a process that is initiating a network session from the EP device on the enterprise network; monitoring network communications associated with the network session at the network device to identify an application identification (APP ID) for the network session; and performing an action based on a security policy using the process ID information and the APP ID.
