The Challenge

With growing compliance requirements and a push toward a zero-trust architecture, the agency needed a more reliable and adaptable solution.

Fully automate firewall policy changes
Select a solution with centralized, real-time control across their multi-vendor environment including Cisco, Palo Alto, AWS, and Azure
Support their Zero Trust initiative and network threat modeling
Accelerate compliance tracking and audit readiness
