Case Study: Virgin Media boosts firewall performance with Tufin

Virgin Media boosts firewall performance by 15% with Tufin

Virgin Media, a leading UK entertainment and communications company, faced significant challenges with its aging and unstable Check Point and Nokia firewall infrastructure. The firewall rule bases were overly complex and undocumented, causing severe performance issues and frequent service failures that prevented the network team from making changes during business hours. To address this, Virgin Media's security partner, Nebulas Solutions Group, implemented Tufin's SecureTrack solution to gain visibility and optimize the unruly firewall policies.

Tufin's solution provided Virgin Media with complete visibility into its firewall operations, enabling the team to quickly identify and remove around 100 redundant rules that were consuming excessive CPU resources. This immediately resolved the stability issues. The implementation resulted in a 15% improvement in firewall CPU and memory performance and boosted network security manpower by 30%, giving the team back significant time to focus on strategic tasks instead of daily firefighting.
