Page Background

The Challenge

Time-consuming, resource intensive manual processes across a sprawling multi-vendor environment made meeting internal and industry regulations nearly impossible to maintain.

The company sought to:

  • Achieve and maintain continuous compliance and audit preparedness across a multi-vendor environment
  • Simplify and accelerate ensuring universal standards are met by consolidating management of their multiple network security policy vendors into a single management console
  • Clean and reduce redundant, overly permissive, and shadowed rules

The Solution

With FireMon’s network security policy management solutions, the company significantly reduced the labor needed for policy management and gained 100% visibility into their Palo Alto and Juniper environments to ensure they achieve and maintain NIST-800 compliance while optimizing their firewall and cloud security policies.

  • Real-time compliance assessments
  • Proactive compliance checks and auto-denial of changes that violate compliance standards
  • Unified visibility and centralized policy management in a single management console
  • Complete policy lifecycle management

With FireMon’s solutions, we significantly reduced the labor needed for policy management. Audit preparation used to take months, and now takes just minutes.”
