by

In today’s threat landscape, finding the right solutions to improve your organization’s security posture is more important than ever before.  So how should you evaluate those solutions and cut through the hype to make balanced, well informed decisions?

As getting honest, unbiased, real-life customer feedback is extremely valuable, but not always easy to come by. As we’ve previously blogged one resource for such information is IT Central Station, a user-driven review site for enterprise technology.  Here you can hear from real enterprise users who have shared their opinions on various solutions, and how they have benefited from them – including AlgoSec’s Security Management solution.

So, without further ado, here is some new feedback from real AlgoSec users

However, AlgoSec continues to add capabilities that firewall vendors simply cannot provide. We have reduced the attack surface of risky rules, improved our compliance scores, and streamlined our firewall change flow all thanks to AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer,” User at an insurance company with 10,001+ employees.

“We are able to quickly review 100’s of firewalls and stay compliant.  The product has been invaluable to our information security department,” User at organization with 1,001-5,000 employees. Read more here.

“For a massive migration, it (AlgoSec) permits project/application owners to estimate and anticipate changes which are needed autonomously and only involve the security administrator for implementation of the rules. This permits us to save a lot of time and make some firewall policy clean up. Then, when we add firewall change requests to management through this tool, it decreases the time for design and implementation significantly,” Network Security Technical Expert, at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees.  Read more here.
