Rapid compliance restoration after Skybox shutdown for global retailer

The challenge

The service provider urgently needed a replacement that could restore compliance, reduce risk and scale without recreating Skybox’s limitations.

The company sought to:

• Regain compliance with PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and CIS frameworks.
• Eliminate costly professional services dependencies.
• Centralise visibility and reporting across 100+ firewalls.
• Implement scalable automation to support evolving requirements.

The solution

The organisation selected FireMon not only to replace Skybox, but to expand beyond its previous capabilities. By eliminating costly customisations and empowering teams with self-service flexibility, FireMon provided a scalable foundation for long-term compliance and risk management.

• Automated compliance checks & customisable reporting across all firewalls
• Rule cleanup & lifecycle management: detection of unused, redundant or shadow rules, with automated recertification workflows
• Change automation: predictive analysis of rule changes before deployment
• Centralised visibility across Fortinet, Palo Alto and on-prem firewalls
• Scalability & integration through an API-first architecture, aligned with future ServiceNow adoption

Results
