Case Study: Leading U.S. Based Footwear Company achieves firewall optimization and risk reduction with FireMon Insights

AI-Driven Firewall Optimization and Visibility with Insights

Leading U.S. Based Footwear Company, a U.S. retailer and wholesaler of consumer shoe brands, was struggling to validate firewall policy health and compare performance against industry standards. With manual reporting and limited benchmarking, the team lacked visibility into redundant rules, unused access, and misconfigurations, leaving more than 6,400 medium control failures undetected. FireMon Insights helped expose these risks and provide the visibility they needed.

With FireMon Insights, FireMon delivered real-time benchmarking, executive dashboards, and AI-driven cleanup recommendations to prioritize firewall optimization and rule reduction. Within one week, the company gained actionable insights, and in the first 30 days it reduced redundant firewall rules by 13.06% while uncovering a 96.12% medium control failure rate—more than double the industry average.
