Accurate reporting and automated policy management

The challenge

Quickly realising that their current NSPM solution was providing inaccurate reporting, as well as never successfully implementing the automation capabilities they had requested, the company was unwilling to settle for a solution that could not deliver on its promises.

The company sought to:

• Upgrade from their existing NSPM solution for improved change automation capabilities
• Increase compliance report accuracy, decreasing the amount of manual time and effort necessary to validate reports
• Automate change management processes, clean up rule bases, and improve reporting
• Gain a single, comprehensive view of policy across their multi-vendor environment including Cisco, CheckPoint, Juniper, Fortinet and Palo Alto
• Eliminate error-prone and time-consuming manual processes

The solution

With FireMon’s network security policy management solutions, the company gained highly customisable, accurate reports along with change automation that delivered improved process efficiency, all while maintaining 100% compliance with internal and regulatory standards.

• Highly customisable compliance assessments and automated reporting
• Policy standardisation and optimisation, identified and cleaned redundant, overly permissive, and shadowed rules
• Pre-configured and ad hoc compliance/audit reports and on-demand, scheduled, and real-time (on change) compliance reports
• Proactive compliance checks and auto-denial of changes that violate compliance standards

Results

• 100% GDPR and PCI DSS compliance
• Reduced risk of human error by eliminating manual processes for rule set and compliance reporting
• Increased security posture through real-time, continuous monitoring of all devices in a single location
• 100% visibility into a 200+ multi-vendor environment from a single pane of glass view
