Case Study: Leading Life Insurance Company achieves faster firewall change management and continuous compliance with AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer

Leading Life Insurance Company Ensures Security and Compliance

A leading life insurance and wealth-management company headquartered in Texas faced growing network complexity and regulatory pressure after migrating a large data center and consolidating multi-vendor infrastructure. Its IT team manages more than 100 firewalls and some 10,000 rules, handling 25–30 manual change requests per week—an error-prone, time-consuming process that made continuous compliance and risk management difficult.

The company deployed AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer to gain vendor-agnostic visibility, automate rule analysis and speed change management. After a short ramp-up, the tool cut analysis time, uncovered redundant or shadow rules for consolidation or removal, improved change verification, boosted staff efficiency, and enabled audit-ready compliance reporting. The team is now planning to add AlgoSec FireFlow for automated rule deployment and is evaluating AlgoSec’s cloud security capabilities as they migrate applications to AWS.
