Case Study: Global Energy Group achieves 80% manpower reduction and speeds firewall changes from five days to one hour with AlgoSec

Global Energy Group Streamlines Change Requests Process

The IT integrator for a large international energy group faced a slow, labor‑intensive process for managing a complex firewall estate supporting hundreds of business applications. With roughly 240 change requests and 500 firewall changes a month, the team struggled with long execution times, limited visibility into application traffic, and mounting operational cost and risk.

They implemented the AlgoSec Security Policy Management suite (Firewall Analyzer, FireFlow, AppViz and AppChange) to automate change workflows, map application flows, and analyze security policy risk. The result: streamlined change requests (from five days to about one hour), an 80% reduction in manpower, clearer visibility into risky rules and traffic flows, easier cleanup and lower costs — delivering faster, safer firewall changes and happier customers.
