The Challenge

A leading global pharmaceutical company managing over 100 firewalls, including Check Point and Cisco, faced a critical compliance and visibility gap following the sudden Skybox shutdown. As a highly regulated enterprise operating across multiple jurisdictions, the organization needed to rapidly restore compliance reporting, rule monitoring, and visibility to maintain regulatory confidence and operational control.

The company sought to:

• Regain automated compliance visibility across ISO 27001 and CIS Benchmarks.
• Replace Skybox functionality with minimal disruption or reliance on professional services.
• Centralize visibility, rule management, and reporting across all firewalls.
• Enable scalable, API-driven architecture to support future automation.

The Solution

The organization selected FireMon to restore compliance and extend beyond legacy Skybox Security capabilities. FireMon’s real-time policy management platform provided immediate visibility, automated compliance checks, and continuous monitoring across all firewalls. Out-of-the-box insights and metadata eliminated long setup times, enabling rapid deployment and measurable results.

• Automated compliance validation for ISO 27001 and CIS frameworks.
• Centralized, real-time visibility into all Check Point and Cisco firewalls.
• Continuous monitoring of rule changes, risk indicators, and violations.
• Rule usage analytics, cleanup recommendations, and before/after change tracking.
• Seamless integration into the organization’s managed service provider (MSP) framework.

Results

• FireMon successfully simulated Skybox migration in a partner lab, validating functionality and accelerating adoption.
• Met all requirements out-of-the-box—no custom development or future releases needed.
• API-first design and visualization built for large, complex networks.
• Eliminated heavy professional services and reduced operational overhead.
• Deep collaboration with the MSP ensured seamless transition and stakeholder confidence.
