Case Study: Leading Payment Solutions Company achieves rapid security and compliance with AlgoSec Jumpstart

Leading payment solutions company credits AlgoSec for increasing security and compliance

A leading payment solutions company that processes more than 28 billion transactions annually for 800,000 merchant outlets and $120 billion in volume faced a complex security challenge: 10 data centers with diverse firewall vendors, a multi-step firewall change process, and a multi-year firewall consolidation underway. The security team needed to automate change management, shorten time-consuming policy tasks and peer reviews, and improve compliance reporting to keep up with rapid growth.

The company deployed AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer through AlgoSec’s Jumpstart Program at two data centers, automating application discovery, change-management workflows and cross-company adoption while quickly identifying and closing security gaps. Results included policy-writing time dropping from 90 to 15 hours (83% reduction), overall process time cut in half, and administrative overhead reduced from 30 to 4 (87% reduction); the firm is now rolling out AlgoSec FireFlow to add zero-touch change processing and automated compliance documentation.
