AlgoSec simplifies, automates, and orchestrates security
policy management for Cisco devices and platforms to
accelerate application delivery while ensuring security
and continuous compliance across the enterprise.
Cisco and AlgoSec

The benefits

Integrating the AlgoSec platform with Cisco ACI provides automated network security policy management across the data center, automating the provisioning of security policies across the ACI fabric and multi-vendor security devices connected to the ACI fabric.

Simplify, automate, and orchestrate security policy management for Cisco devices, including Cisco Meraki, to accelerate application delivery while ensuring security and continuous compliance across the enterprise.

Provision application connectivity

Securely provision, maintain and decommission connectivity required by business applications. By automatically mapping application-connectivity requirements to the underlying network/cloud infrastructure, AlgoSec accelerates application delivery and minimizes outages while enforcing security and compliance across the hybrid data center/cloud environment.

See and understand complex network security policies

AlgoSec provides visibility and analysis of complex network security policies across virtual, cloud, and physical environments to simplify security operations, including policy cleanup, troubleshooting, auditing, and risk analysis. Security and operations teams can simply and automatically optimize the configuration of Cisco firewalls, routers, and SDN solutions to ensure security and compliance.

Automate security policy changes

AlgoSec automates the security policy change management process and delivers hands-free policy push for Cisco firepower and ASA firewalls, IOS routers, layer-3 switches, and Cisco ACI.
By eliminating guesswork through intelligent change management workflows, AlgoSec helps operations and security teams save time, avoid manual errors, and reduce risk.

Get the most out of your ACI investment

AlgoSec’s uniform security policy management transcends legacy networks, cloud, and WAN all the way to your ACI fabric, delivering full security visibility across the different estates that comprise your network. AlgoSec brings firewalls and the ACI fabric into a single-pane-of-glass for comprehensive management and an automated workflow to execute and assess the impact of changes. AlgoSec enables zero-touch changes end-to-end by automatically creating contracts on ACI and updating security policies on firewalls in the data center and at its perimeter.

Micro-segmentation and policy enforcement

AlgoSec leverages Cisco secure workload (formerly Cisco tetration) as well as other data sources and sensors to discover application flows by quickly learning how applications use the network. AlgoSec automatically generates whitelist policies based on discovered connectivity and pushes them to various security constructs (firewalls, ACI contracts) to enforce east-west filtering. AlgoSec also enhances security by ensuring consistent and continuous end-to-end implementation of micro-segmentation policy across the entire network.

Ease the migration to firepower

With the AlgoSec solution, you can easily migrate existing firewall rulesets to Cisco firepower. The solution maps and cleans the existing network security policy ruleset, automatically translates the rules to firepower and pushes them with zero-touch to firepower devices (via FMC). as part of the migration process, AlgoSec also performs what-if risk analysis and provides full documentation of changes.
