Firewall rules support applications or processes that require network connectivity to and from specific servers, users and networks. AlgoSec AppViz automatically associates the relevant business applications that each firewall rule supports, enabling you to review the firewall rules quickly and easily.
Prioritizing your risk based on what your business values most — the applications that power it.
Using automatic integration and mapping of vulnerabilities from the leading vulnerability scanners to their business applications — including servers and complex connectivity flows and provide a security rating for every business application.
AlgoSec Auto-Discovery automatically identifies all your enterprise applications and services and their connectivity flows, and quickly generates an up to date connec¬tivity map of your applications — without requiring any prior knowledge or manual configuration by your security, networking or applications experts. It provides full visibility of your network security environment, including firewalls and the firewall rules that determine network traffic. This facilitates a deep understanding of the implications of any planned changes to application connectivity and how to configure the firewalls appropriately with these changes.
Having full knowledge of all business applications aids the company in their adherence to different compliance requirements. For example, PCI DSS requires customers to audit all the applications that fall within the scope of the regulation. This informa¬tion is easy to determine through application network connectivity mapping.
Application network connectivity mapping can reveal whether an application outage is due to issues with the network. For example, an employee opens a support ticket when unable to connect to the CRM application. Typically, the ticket will first go to the network team to determine if the problem is network related. Using the application-centric approach with its associated mapping, it is immediately clear whether the issue is network-related. If it is, it can be easily dealt with. If not, it can be sent to the appropriate department, thus saving time and resources.
Application network connectivity mapping provides a clear picture of the impact on business applications, of any planned changes to the network. This includes firewall changes, or other changes that may cause network downtime. Mapping will enable the implications of the changes to be fully understood and consequently downtime, for example, can be scheduled when it will have minimum impact on customers, partners, or employees.
