PCI 4.0 Compliance
Redundant or overly permissive rules leftover during policy cleanup and optimization
Audit preparation time reduced with automated compliance reporting
The Challenge
The organization’s migration from Check Point to Cisco uncovered long-standing security policy issues that had been carried forward through years of manual rule management. A failed PCI audit brought urgent attention to their compliance standards.
The company sought to:
- Automate firewall policy enforcement to reduce manual errors and audit risk
- Accelerate secure migration without compromising daily operations or uptime
- Increase real-time visibility across their Check Point and Cisco environments
- Eliminate redundant, overly permissive, and shadowed rules to tighten security
- Continuously monitor policy changes to meet PCI 4.0 requirements
- Standardize policies across platforms to simplify future audits and operations
The Solution
