Case Study: BT streamlines firewall change control and compliance with AlgoSec

BT streamlines firewall change control across 1,000+ policy enforcement points with AlgoSec

BT, a leading worldwide telecommunications provider, faced challenges managing its massive and complex global network with over 1,000 policy enforcement points. The company struggled to control its firewall rulebase, ensure proper authorization for changes, and demonstrate compliance during audits. To address this, BT turned to AlgoSec for an automated security management solution.

By implementing AlgoSec, BT gained control over its network security. The solution provided an approved audit trail and ensured policies were implemented as authorized. Results included an immediate reduction in error rates, the ability to quickly identify rogue or high-risk connectivity, and significant time savings during audit preparation. AlgoSec also allowed BT's security engineers to focus on enhancing security rather than manual processes, leading to a more secure infrastructure overall.
