Ørsted automates firewall changes with Nautobot-based compliance

Danish energy company Ørsted moved firewall rule management onto the open-source Nautobot platform with custom validators. Pre-approved requests, about 60–70% of the total, now deploy in roughly 10 minutes instead of weeks, while riskier requests still go through the CAB.
