Case Study: Fortune 500 Footwear Company achieves continuous PCI-DSS compliance and 90% faster firewall policy deployments with FireMon

Fortune 500 Footwear Company - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Footwear Company, a U.S.-based retailer with thousands of stores in nearly 30 countries and extensive e-commerce operations, faced slow, error-prone manual processes and a fragmented firewall estate while migrating from nine firewall vendors to four and moving services to the cloud. They needed continuous PCI‑DSS compliance, better visibility, and faster rule deployment — challenges addressed using NSPM from FireMon.

FireMon implemented a unified network security policy orchestration and risk management solution that consolidated on‑premises and Azure firewalls into a single console, automated policy audits and PCI‑DSS reporting, and enforced workflows for rule approvals. As a result, FireMon delivered a single set of policies across the hybrid environment, cut PCI‑DSS compliance review time by 50% (from 6 to 3 hours weekly), and reduced time to test, approve and deploy new firewall rules by 90%, significantly lowering operational costs and human error.
