Page Background

The Challenge

A leading global e-commerce and logistics enterprise faced mounting operational strain managing over 6,000 firewalls across its distributed infrastructure. The organization’s network and security teams operated within staged change windows, often constrained by overloaded Juniper devices and complex, overlapping firewall rules.

The company sought to:

  • Eliminate rule sprawl and policy overload across 6,000+ firewalls.
  • Accelerate change approvals to reduce SLA delays from months to days.
  • Strengthen compliance visibility and audit readiness across logistics environments.
  • Automate rule analysis and cleanup to reduce manual effort and operational risk.

The Solution

The organization selected FireMon to regain visibility, control, and agility across its global firewall ecosystem.

  • Continuous visibility and real-time auditing across all devices.
  • Automated cleanup of redundant and shadow rules, preventing overload and improving performance.
  • Controlled, data-driven change workflows integrated with internal ticketing systems.
  • Evidence-based policy analysis to ensure every change aligned with business and compliance requirements.

“FireMon provided the governance, automation, and real-time insight we needed to regain control over thousands of firewalls—without compromising speed or security.”
