Continuous PCI-DSS Compliance Management Solution

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of FireMon's network security policy orchestration and risk management tools for a US-based Fortune 500 footwear retailer. The objective was to enhance the retailer's security and compliance posture while reducing operational costs associated with compliance audit reporting and firewall rule management. The retailer faced challenges due to a rapid increase in online sales, which necessitated a robust IT infrastructure to meet compliance requirements. The existing manual processes and multiple firewall vendors were inadequate, leading to inefficiencies and errors. FireMon's solution provided a unified management console that integrated various firewall platforms and cloud services, enabling standardized policy management and automated compliance reporting. The results included a 50% reduction in time for PCI-DSS compliance reviews, a 90% decrease in the time required to create and deploy new firewall rules, and improved visibility and control over the entire network infrastructure.
