Reduction in the time to produce accurate compliance reports
Less time needed to remediate risky rules
Devices currently managed
The Challenge
Due to pressure resulting from a recent pipeline cyberattack, urgent policy cleanup was necessary to meet new internal compliance practices within 90 days. The company lacked the visibility and automation across their complex, multi-vendor environment necessary to meet the 90-day deadline.
The company sought to:
- Meet new internal compliance standards within 90 days
- Eliminate manual firewall rule audit policy and rule changes
- Gain consistent policy management across a hybrid cloud environment
The Solution
With NSPM from FireMon, the company gained realtime visibility, control, and management capabilities for all network security devices across its hybrid cloud environment
- A single management console for unified policy visibility and management of the company’s entire 800+ device, multi-vendor hybrid environment
- 100% visibility through real-time discovery that includes IP addresses, devices, and endpoints
- Standardization, optimization, and automated deployment of policy rule changes
FireMon helps us save time and effort in almost every step of our workflows. Automated rule cleanup and creation across our multiple firewall vendors from a single management console has really simplified our policy management. I didn’t realize policy management could be this easy.”
Results
- 80% reduction in the time to produce accurate compliance reports through policy standardization and automation of manual processes
- 60% less time needed to remediate risky rules
- 800+ devices currently managed
- 20+ previously unknown devices discovered during deployment, decreasing risk
- Increased security posture through real-time, continuous monitoring of all devices in a single location
