Case Study: Porsche Informatik achieves streamlined firewall operations and enhanced security with AlgoSec

Porsche Informatik Simplifies Network Operations and Strengthens Security

Porsche Informatik GmbH, a subsidiary of Porsche Holding and one of Austria’s largest automobile trading IT providers, supports major brands across 21+ countries with a multi-vendor, multi-firewall infrastructure. As the rule base grew across numerous Check Point clusters, manual monitoring and auditing became time‑consuming and error‑prone; the team needed a way to track who made changes, when, and whether those changes introduced clutter or compliance and security risks.

Porsche Informatik deployed AlgoSec Security Management to automate firewall operations, provide real‑time change tracking and “what‑if” analysis, and identify obsolete, invalid and duplicate rules. The solution cleaned up policy, improved visibility and governance, reduced the time and resources needed for audits and rule changes, and increased IT productivity without adding headcount—allowing the team to focus on strategic projects and better serve customers.
