Firewall Policy Management for Next-Generation Infrastructures

Yesterday, we announced the latest release of AlgoSec Security Management Suite, which addresses the growing complexity of security policies, especially in networks where next-generation firewalls and secure web gateways are being implemented. While these devices provide more granularity, which in today’s dynamic business environment and threat landscape is vital, they also introduce new levels of complexity at a time when many organizations are still struggling with keeping traditional firewall policies under control.

Implementing these next-generation devices into your network has clear benefits, but it would behoove you to make sure you can efficiently and effectively manage these devices within the context of your broader network. You don’t want to have to manage these next gen firewalls separately from your traditional firewalls and other related security devices. Make sure your change management processes can handle this new level of granularity and its implications, mainly more change requests demanded by the business. These are just a few things you need to keep in mind when thinking about adding these technologies into your environment.
