Case Study: Global Manufacturer and Distributor of Spices, Seasoning Mixes, and Condiments achieves $1M annual cost savings and unified hybrid‑cloud visibility with FireMon

Global Manufacturer and Distributor of Spices, Seasoning Mixes, and Condiments - Customer Case Study

Global Manufacturer and Distributor of Spices, Seasoning Mixes, and Condiments was facing an overwhelmed security operation as on‑premises firewall management expanded into a hybrid cloud footprint across Check Point, Azure, and Zscaler. Lacking unified visibility and consistent policy management, manual audit and rule‑change processes threatened to grow the security team from 2 to 7 FTEs, so they engaged FireMon (Security Manager and Policy Planner) to address visibility, automation, and compliance needs.

FireMon delivered a single pane‑of‑glass for real‑time visibility and unified policy management across on‑premises and cloud environments, automated compliance reporting and rule changes, and standardized policy workflows. As a result, FireMon helped the customer realize $1M in annual cost savings, a 428% first‑year ROI, an 81% reduction in time spent on compliance tasks, elimination of the need to hire 5 additional security engineers, faster remediation of violations, and an infrastructure able to scale to hundreds of planned Zscaler instances.
