Case Study: a Fortune 50 U.S. home improvement retailer cuts firewall change time 80% with FireMon

Fortune 50 U.S. Home Improvement Retailer cuts firewall change time 80% with FireMon

The customer, a Fortune 50 U.S. home improvement retailer, struggled to manage firewall policy changes and maintain PCI and NIST compliance across its vast, distributed network. Using a legacy tool resulted in manual, error-prone workflows that could not scale with their 700+ network devices. They sought a modern NSPM platform from FireMon to accelerate changes, reduce risk, and integrate with their enterprise systems.

FireMon implemented its firewall policy management platform to automate pre-change risk analysis, normalize policies, and provide continuous compliance validation. The solution integrated with the retailer's ITSM workflows to streamline governance. As a result, the retailer achieved an 80% reduction in firewall change turnaround time, eliminating 300 manual tickets per month, while ensuring continuous audit-ready compliance across all devices.
