, Mar 17, 2015

Scenario

One large telecommunication carrier had a very extensive and complex firewall infrastructure in place to filter all traffic destined to the several existing firewall platforms.

Due to is complexity, PromonLogicalis was hired to find a solution to precisely and efficiently manage the numerous firewall policies, reducing operational risks and human error, while increasing operational efficiency and gaining agility and conformity with internal and external policies, in addition to network visibility and automation.

Solution

Through a consulting approach, PromonLogicalis offered a solution that integrates both Algosec’s Firewall Analyzer and Fireflow products to enable the management of several firewall policies existing in the network and in multiple suppliers’ platforms.

In the project, the solution composed by hardware and software was dimensioned to support 174 firewalls distributed across 8 sites in Brazil. In this scenario, all equipment has centralized and redundant connectivity in two main datacenters geographically separated.

Benefits

After project implementation, the carrier could count on centralized network security systems policies, being able to monitor rules and generate optimized reports. Furthermore, the solution automates firewall policies changes’ work flow, reducing the time needed to execute the process, increasing precision and decreasing network risks.
