Case Study: a large U.S.-based nonprofit healthcare system cuts firewall rule review time 60% with FireMon

a large U.S.-based nonprofit healthcare system cuts firewall rule review time 60% with FireMon

A large U.S.-based nonprofit healthcare system faced a critical challenge after a failed upgrade rendered its existing NSPM platform unusable. This left them without visibility or reporting across their complex environment of over 1,000 multi-vendor firewalls, making manual rule review and compliance reporting extremely difficult and risky. They sought a new solution from FireMon to restore control and automate these processes.

FireMon delivered a centralized firewall policy management platform that provided immediate multi-vendor visibility and automated rule review workflows. This solution enabled the healthcare system to reduce manual rule review time by 60%, clean up policy sprawl, and reestablish continuous, audit-ready compliance for NIST, PCI, HIPAA, and HITRUST frameworks without needing ongoing professional services.
