The Challenge
Housing over 70 decentralized firewalls while relying on time-consuming and error-prone manual processes for PCI audits and rule review, the company needed a solution to help ensure they maintained regulatory compliance requirements without needing to turn to professional services for reporting.
The company sought to:
- Gain a comprehensive view of policy across all devices including Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Zscaler
- Achieve and maintain PCI-DSS compliance
- Automate their change management processes, clean up rule bases, and improve reporting
- Run custom on-demand reports without help from professional services
The Solution
With continuous compliance, change automation, and risk management from FireMon, the company gained real-time visibility, control, and management capabilities for all network security devices across its multi-vendor environment.
- Single pane-of-glass console for unified visibility and management
- Policy standardization and automation tools simplified and decreased the time to create and deploy rules
- Preconfigured control sets and scheduling for on-demand and automated PCI-DSS compliance report generation
- FireMon’s Security Intelligence Query Language (SiQL) simplified searching across their multi-vendor environment by performing granular, customized searches
With our previous security policy management solution, every time we wanted to build a custom report we had to work with a costly professional services team. Now with FireMon, we’re able to customize and run reports when we want to, not only saving us time, but money as well.”
