Case Study: Aera Energy Llc achieves 90% faster compliance support and 50% lower firewall maintenance with FireMon

How FireMon cut compliance support time by 90%, firewall maintenance by 50% and reporting by 90%

Aera Energy Llc, an enterprise in the oil & energy sector, faced challenges with auditing, change control, real-time and historic change visibility, duplicate rule cleanup, and long-term trend reporting for its firewalls. Cyber Security Engineer Jeff Reese deployed FireMon’s solution—using FireMon Security Manager—to centralize policy, compliance and change tracking and to generate the routine reports needed for audits and daily operations.

FireMon implemented FireMon Security Manager to deliver daily change reports (with color coding), weekly compliance checks and monthly unused-rule reports, plus real-time change monitoring and historic logs. As a result, FireMon helped Aera Energy Llc reduce compliance support time by 90%, firewall maintenance time by 50%, and upper-management reporting time by 90%, while surfacing insights and saving significant staff effort.
