Case Study: American electric automobile manufacturer achieves continuous compliance and an 85% reduction in firewall rule review time with FireMon

American Electric Automobile Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

American Electric Automobile Manufacturer, a publicly traded U.S. electric automaker with more than 600 retail locations and service centers, faced rapidly scaling security complexity as business growth outpaced manual processes across its hybrid on‑premises and cloud environment. The company engaged FireMon and deployed FireMon Security Manager and Policy Planner to gain real‑time policy visibility, eliminate misconfigurations, and meet new internal compliance standards while scaling security operations.

FireMon consolidated policy management for AWS and Palo Alto firewalls, automated workflows for rule review, recertification, and removal, and used its SIQL for granular searches and fast compliance reporting, all from a single console. The implementation delivered clear results: 100% visibility and control of Palo Alto edge firewalls, an 85% reduction in time to review and clean firewall rules, and one unified set of security policies across the hybrid‑cloud environment, materially reducing risk and manual errors.
