100% Visibility, Custom Reporting, and Continuous Compliance

The Challenge

Time-consuming manual processes left their understaffed InfoSec team spread thin. Meanwhile their existing NSPM solution’s lack of visibility left them with a slew of blind spots, leaving them susceptible to risks.

The company sought to:

• Gain 100% visibility of network firewalls
• Improve current firewall rule and security policy processes that were previously compromising compliance, increasing risk, and impeding operational efficiency
• Improve audit preparation from weeks to minutes
• Achieve and maintain 100% PCI DSS and SOX compliance

The Solution

With FireMon’s network security policy management solution, the company gained a consolidated single source of truth for real-time visibility, change management, and rule automation across their 700+ firewalls, helping ensure they maintain and achieve compliance while optimizing their firewall and cloud security policies.

• Enterprise scalability for real-time reporting, violation detection, and search across their entire hybrid environment
• Out-of-the-box integration and value with Fortinet devices/FortiManager
• 100% visibility and control by standardizing and consolidating firewalls into a single management console
• Policy standardization to identify and clean redundant, overly permissive, and shadowed rules
• Proactive compliance checks and auto-denial of changes that violate compliance standards

Results

• Achieved 100% PCI DSS and SOX continuous compliance with automated, real-time checks
• Improved attack surface management through real-time, continuous monitoring of all devices in a single location
• 100% visibility and control of their Fortinet firewalls
• Reduced risk of human error by eliminating error-prone manual processes
• Improved audit preparation efficiency from weeks to minutes
