Case Study: MGM Resorts International achieves automated compliance reporting and streamlined firewall management with FireMon

MGM Resorts International - Customer Case Study

MGM Resorts International, a large hospitality enterprise, faced the challenge of managing close to 100 complex firewall deployments while meeting strict regulatory requirements (SOX, MICS, PCI). To gain automation and integrated reporting for identifying unused rules and objects, they implemented FireMon—using Security Manager, Policy Optimizer, Policy Planner, and Risk Analyzer.

FireMon was deployed across IT Security, Risk Management, Engineering, and Architecture to automate policy creation and optimization, perform path analysis, and schedule built-in compliance and security reports. As a result, non-firewall‑savvy staff can produce actionable policy requests, reporting is automatically routed for remediation, and substantial resources were freed up—streamlining operations and improving compliance visibility across MGM Resorts International’s firewall estate.
