AlgoSec application discovery
Enhance the discovery of your network applications

AlgoSec application discovery enhances the identification of business applications and services based on actual traffic flows and generates an up-to-date connectivity map for all applications.

Business applications rely on a complex set of connectivity flows, spanning multiple servers and networks. Companies often struggle to identify their applications and the network traffic flows their applications depend on due to a lack of up-to-date documentation. Utilizing AI-powered solutions, AlgoSec helps understand the relationship between IT and business, which is critical when business applications are moved or migrated.

Utilize AI to automatically discover your traffic flows, connect them to your network applications, and accelerate application discovery.

AlgoSec application discovery helps you:

• ANALYZE and VISUALIZE your network traffic

• IMPROVE your firewall performance and management

• AUTOMATICALLY document traffic changes

• Use AI to IDENTIFY the applications running on your network

• Accelerate application delivery with AI-powered solutions

• Reduce the cost of manual application connectivity mapping efforts

• Avoid application outages due to network device misconfigurations

• Simplify application and server migrations using AI

• Enforce security and compliance across the data center

• Align application, security, and network teams

Clearly visualize your network traffic

AlgoSec application discovery analyzes your traffic flows, turning them into a clear map.
It receives network traffic metadata as NetFlow, SFlow, or full packets and then digests multiple streams of traffic metadata to let you clearly visualize your network traffic.

Improve firewall performance and management

Your application contains many connections between different servers. The advanced optimization algorithm aggregates a group of connections into thick flows. Using these thick flows prevents overloading multiple rules on the firewalls which can lead to performance degradation. This also simplifies the experience of the security operation expert, making the firewall rules clearer to understand and manage. Moreover, the algorithm predicts the future behavior of the traffic and assures it is aligned with the enforcement policy.

Automatically document traffic changes

Once applications are discovered and optimized, the system keeps tracking changes in these applications. Once new connections are discovered in the network, the application description is updated with the new flows.

Identify the network applications associated with traffic flows

AlgoSec’s AI-powered algorithm enables you to identify the applications running on your network. The system can filter out traffic with low frequency and keep connections that appear more frequently. Using deep packet inspection and DNS, AlgoSec identifies the name and purpose of the application.
