Case Study: Large Municipal Fire and Rescue Department achieves unified visibility, compliance and 40% efficiency gain with FireMon

Visibility & Compliance for an Expanding Multi-Vendor Environment

Large Municipal Fire and Rescue Department, an east coast public-sector organization, was struggling with limited visibility and slow policy management across a growing hybrid, multi-vendor environment (Cisco, Fortinet, AWS) and a migration from Cisco ASAs to virtual Palo Alto devices. Facing bottlenecks with their prior NSPM provider and the need to maintain PCI and HIPAA compliance, they selected NSPM from FireMon to centralize control and meet compliance requirements.

FireMon implemented its NSPM platform to provide a single console with real-time visibility and control across 200+ policy enforcement points, integrated change automation with ServiceNow and Policy Planner, and standardized policy creation and mass rule deployment without adding new management layers. The deployment delivered measurable results: 100% visibility and control of newly added virtual firewalls, full PCI and HIPAA compliance, and an estimated 40%+ efficiency gain from automating firewall support operations.
