Security Architecture Migration to Meet Regulatory Compliance

The BlueAlly Solution

We worked as an agile extension of the organization’s team from start to finish, collaborating closely with its technical experts and executive leaders to design a scalable migration and deployment strategy for its new perimeter firewall solution. We performed due diligence by assessing its existing security infrastructure, documenting all configurations, ACPs, VPNs, WCCP, FlexConfigs, and IDS rules, then planning a complete migration of firewall role sets and modernization of its border role sets. We then replaced the client’s port/protocol-based firewalls with agile application-based firewalls that optimized monitoring and other security capabilities across its distributed infrastructure.

This unified solution also implemented single-pane-of-glass management for improved visibility and control to streamline security operations. Additionally, the new firewall strengthened traffic logging and ransomware prevention, enabling the organization to better safeguard its critical infrastructure while adhering to compliance requirements. The migration enabled our client to map its security controls to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, further aligning its operations with best practices.

The BlueAlly team executed the migration and deployment within one month, working extended hours and collaborating closely with our client to streamline this labor-intensive project. The solution enhanced the organization’s threat detection and prevention capabilities, enabling it to fortify its defenses and improve its network security posture. With our assistance, our client demonstrated its cyber resilience, ensuring it passed an upcoming audit and maintained business continuity by conquering complexity through a modernized perimeter firewall solution.
