The Challenge

After a failed audit, the company realized their current approach to managing firewall security policies wasn’t enough. The company lacked the visibility, automation, and reporting capabilities necessary to detect and clean up redundant and non-compliant rules, leading to PCI and NIST compliance uncertainty as well as an overworked team.

The company sought to:

  • Upgrade from using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to manually prepare audit reports 
  • Achieve and maintain PCI and NIST compliance 
  • Gain a single, comprehensive view of policy across their multi-vendor environment 
  • Automate change management processes, clean up rule bases, and improve reporting 
  • Eliminate error-prone and time-consuming manual processes 
  • Integrate with an ITSM solution to work with and track tickets

About the Company

“We always knew we weren’t using the latest and greatest to handle our audit reports, but we thought we were doing enough to get by. A failed audit told us otherwise. I wish we went with FireMon earlier as the time and manpower savings have been incredible.”
