success stories "With AlgoSec we are proactive. Now we can see all the changes and reduce the risks we have regarding requirements for SOX as well as maintain all the policies for information security" International Cosmetics Company Gains Visibility, Reduces Risk and Ensures Compliance with SOX AlgoSec Business Impact Deliver proactive security policy management Gain immediate visibility into all security policy changes Reduce risks and ensure compliance with SOX Background Natura Cosméticos is the largest cosmetics manufacturer and distributor in Latin America, with more than 1.5 million independent consultants and 100 million customers. Founded in 1969, the company is based in Brazil, where almost two-thirds of households buy its products. At $7.5 billion in revenues, Natura is a Forbes Global 2000 company and ranked #75 on the magazine’s most innovative companies list in 2014. Challenge Natura has offices throughout Brazil and operations throughout Latin America and France supported by two data centers, 33 firewalls, 18 clusters and 250 switches and routers. For years, a third party managed the company’s firewall rule changes, making visibility and management challenging.“If a change was made over the weekend, it would be difficult for us to find out what rules were changed, for what reason, who created them or why,” says Newton Rossetto, Chief Security Officer, Natura Cosméticos.“We’d find some firewall rules in the wrong places and unused rules,” adds Rossetto, but changing them was no simple matter. “Users had to create a worksheet with their requirements for our environment and then they would be implemented by a third party. After the rule was created, we then needed to check that it was right.” Natura needed a streamlined system for making and tracking security changes that gave IT better visibility across the company’s complex security environment. Solution Natura recognized that it had a “really confusing change management process,” Rossetto states. The company chose the AlgoSec Security Management Solution to manage and streamline the process. Results After a “simple and quick deployment,” according to Rossetto, AlgoSec enabled Natura to quickly “consolidate security policy management for our environment.” AlgoSec provides detailed online reports for each step of the change workflow and enables Rossetto’s team to manage security policy changes for multiple security devices on one common platform.“Now I can see all of the reports I need at any time. I can also see which rules were created and what objects are no longer needed,” says Rossetto. This visibility has allowed Natura to take a proactive role in security policy management which had been impossible when changes were previously outsourced to a third party. For a company growing at 14 percent each year, particularly one that does the majority of its sales and workforce management online, having complete visibility into the security rule-change process brings real peace of mind.For the Natura team, AlgoSec’s preset workflows for implementing and removing rules, changing objects and verifying rules, combined with its flexibility to accommodate the company’s specific needs, held great appeal. In addition, users liked the pre-populated request templates that saved them time compared to the old worksheets, as well as simplified communication with the security team. “With AlgoSec, the change management process is all automatic. We can approve the changes and know we will have the right rules with the right objects,” says Rossetto.AlgoSec also helped Natura’s security team reduce risks associated with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements. AlgoSec evaluates every proposed change against regulatory standards, such as SOX, as well as industry best practices and corporate-specific policies. Any change found to be out of compliance is flagged before it can be implemented.In terms of customer service, as well as implementation, Rossetto states that working with AlgoSec has “been a very good experience. We have been very well supported from negotiation through successful deployment. We are very satisfied.” Schedule time with one of our experts

Leading Energy Company Embraces Network Security Policy Automation Organization Energy Company Industry Utilities & Energy Headquarters California, USA Download case study Share Customer
success stories "We can demonstrate that the firewalls meet our standards." Fortune 50-listed energy company cleans up hundreds of firewall rules, gains continuous compliance. Background The customer is one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies. Through its worldwide subsidiaries, the company is involved in virtually every facet of the energy industry. The company explores for, produces and transports crude oil and natural gas; refines, markets and distributes transportation fuels and lubricants; manufactures and sells petrochemicals and additives; generates power; and develops and deploys technologies that enhance business value in every aspect of the company’s operations. They are listed on the Fortune 50 and a component of the S&P 100. The Challenge The customer has over 900 firewalls throughout the world, including in several remote sites. Some of their challenges included: Overly broad firewall policies Risky firewall rules Pressure from legal and compliance teams Manual processes and difficulty implementing automation Lack of visibility into security policies throughout the network “Before AlgoSec, we didn’t manage our firewalls very well,” stated Jeremy Haynes, a Solution Architect at the energy company. “We did not have a good enforcement and validation tool to verify that policies were accurate and did not introduce unacceptable risk.” The Solution The company was in the process of migrating from their previous firewall vendor to Palo Alto Networks. They used the opportunity for a fresh start to clean up and optimize their security policies. They were searching for a solution that provided: Automation of firewall policy management Identification of layer 7 (application-based) policies Innovative features that aligned with their strategic goals Strong support for Palo Alto Networks firewalls Following an in-depth evaluation, the company selected AlgoSec’s Security Policy Management Solution, which includes AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer and AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow (AFF). AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer ensures security and compliance by providing visibility and analysis into complex network security policies. AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow improves security and saves security staffs’ time by automating the entire security policy change process, eliminating manual errors, and reducing risk. The Results By using the AlgoSec Security Management Solution, the company was able to clean up risky firewall policies, reduce misconfigurations, and dedicate more workers to business-driven innovation instead of security policy maintenance. Some benefits gained include: Compliance with internal requirements Ability to map out their network and maintain network segmentation Less time needed to maintain firewall policies Easier time managing hundreds of firewalls spread out worldwide AlgoSec enabled their network segmentation initiatives. By mapping their network, and determining what zones should communicate with each other, they were able to fix existing policies that broke segmentation rules and not break segmentation policies in the future. This helped ensure a state of continuous compliance. “AlgoSec gives us an easy to read and present view of firewall compliance. This helps our business units ensure their policies are clean. We can also demonstrate that the firewalls connected to our network, but owned by other business units, meet our standards,” according to Haynes. They have over 1,700 change requests daily and therefore automation is crucial. “The ability to work with Ansible, ServiceNow, and Palo Alto gives us the ability to automate our firewall policy creation. It does so in a manner where we do not have to worry about a policy being created that may put our organization at risk,” continued Haynes. AlgoSec helps the company to not only quickly deploy firewall policies but also ensure the security of the business. “We want to make sure our money-making capabilities can conduct their business with minimal impact and do their job. The ROI for us is our great assurance in the security of our firewall policies,” concluded Haynes. Schedule time with one of our experts

    Azure Security Best Practices: Don't Get Caught with Your Cloud Pants Down Executive Summary The cloud isn't some futuristic fantasy... Cloud Security Azure Security Best Practices Asher Benbenisty 2 min read Asher Benbenisty Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 11/25/24 Published Azure Security Best Practices: Don't Get Caught with Your Cloud Pants Down Executive Summary The cloud isn't some futuristic fantasy anymore, folks. It's the backbone of modern business, and Azure is charging hard, fueled by AI, to potentially dethrone AWS by 2026. But with this breakneck adoption comes a harsh reality: security can't be an afterthought. This article dives deep into why robust security practices are non-negotiable in Azure and how tools like Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR can be your digital bodyguards. Introduction Let's face it, organizations are flocking to the cloud like moths to a digital flame. Why? Cost savings, streamlined operations, and the ability to scale at warp speed. We're talking serious money here – a projected $805 billion spent on public cloud services in 2024! The cloud's not just disrupting the game; it is the game. And the playing field is shifting. AWS might be the king of the hill right now, but Azure's hot on its heels, thanks to some serious AI muscle. ( As of 2024, they hold market shares of 31%, 24%, and 11%, respectively .) Forbes even predicts an Azure takeover by 2026. Exciting times, right? Hold your horses. This rapid cloud adoption has a dark side. Security threats are lurking around every corner, and sticking to best practices is more crucial than ever. Cloud service managers, listen up: you need to wrap your heads around the shared responsibility model (Figure 1). Think of it like this: you and Azure are partners in crime prevention. You're both responsible for keeping your digital assets safe, but you need to know who's holding which piece of the security puzzle. Don't assume security is built-in – it's a team effort, and you need to pull your weight. Figure 1: The shared responsibility model Azure's Security Architecture: A Fortress in the Cloud Okay, I get it. The shared responsibility model can feel like navigating a maze blindfolded. But here's the deal: whether you're dabbling in IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, Azure's got your infrastructure covered. Their global network of data centers is built like Fort Knox, meeting industry standards like ISO/IEC 27001:2022 , HIPAA , and NIST SP 800-53 . But remember your part of the bargain! Azure provides a killer arsenal of security products to protect your workloads, both in Azure and beyond. Figure 2: Azure’s security architecture Take Microsoft Sentinel, for example. This superhero of a tool automatically sniffs out threats, investigates them, and neutralizes them before they can wreak havoc. It's like having a 24/7 security team with superhuman senses. And don't forget about Microsoft Defender XDR. This comprehensive security suite is like a digital Swiss Army knife, protecting your identities, endpoints, applications, email, and cloud apps. It's got your back, no matter where you turn. With Sentinel and Defender XDR in your corner, you're well-equipped to tackle the security challenges that come with cloud adoption. But don't get complacent! Let's dive into some core security best practices that will make your Azure environment an impenetrable fortress. Core Security Best Practices: Lock Down Your Secrets Protecting Secrets: Best Practices Using Azure Key Vault We all have secrets, right? In the digital world, those secrets are things like passwords, API keys, and encryption keys. You can't just leave them lying around for any cybercriminal to snatch. That's where Azure Key Vault comes in. This secure vault is like a digital safe deposit box for your sensitive data. It uses hardware security modules (HSMs) to keep your secrets locked down tight, even if someone manages to breach your defenses. Big names like Victoria's Secret & Co , Evup, and Sage trust Key Vault to keep their secrets safe. Figure 3: A new Key Vault named “algosec-kv” Here's a pro tip: once you've stashed your secrets in Key Vault, use a managed identity to access them. This eliminates the need to hardcode credentials in your code, minimizing the risk of exposure. var client = new SecretClient(new Uri("https://. vault.azure.net/ "), new DefaultAzureCredential(),options); KeyVaultSecret secret = client.GetSecret(""); string secretValue = secret.Value; Key Vault is a fantastic tool, but it's not a silver bullet. Download our checklist of additional best practices to keep your secrets safe: Database and Data Security: More Than Just Locking the Door Azure offers a smorgasbord of data storage solutions, from Azure SQL Database to Azure Blob Storage. But securing your data isn't just about protecting it at rest. You need to think about data in use and data in transit, too. Download our checklist for a full action plan: Identity Management: Who Are You, and What Are You Doing Here? Encryption is great, but it's only half the battle. You need to know who's accessing your resources and what they're doing. That's where identity access management (IAM) comes in. Think of IAM as a digital bouncer, controlling access to your network resources. It's all about verifying identities and granting the right level of access – no more, no less. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) is your secret weapon here. It's like having a security checkpoint at every corner of your network, ensuring that only authorized users can access your resources. Figure 4: Zero-trust security architecture Remember the Capital One breach? A misconfigured firewall and overly broad permissions led to a massive data leak. Don't let that be you! Follow Azure's IAM documentation to build a robust and secure identity management system. Network Security: Building a Digital Moat Your network architecture is the foundation of your security posture. Choose wisely, my friends! The hub-spoke model is a popular choice in Azure, centralizing common services in a secure hub and isolating workloads in separate spokes. Figure 5: Hub-spoke network architecture in Azure (Source: Azure documentation ) For a checklist of how the hub-spoke model can boosts your security, download our checklist here. Digital Realty , a real estate investment giant, uses the hub-spoke model to secure its global portal and REST APIs. It's a testament to the power of this architecture for both security and performance. Figure 6: Digital Realty’s use of hub-spoke architecture (Adapted from Microsoft Customer Stories ) Operational Security: Stay Vigilant, Stay Secure (Continued) When a security incident strikes, your response time is critical. Think of operational security as your digital first aid kit. It's about minimizing human error and automating processes to speed up threat detection and response. We've already talked about MFA, password management, and the dynamic duo of Defender XDR and Sentinel. Download our checklist for a few more operational security essentials to add to your arsenal. Figure 7: Build-deploy workflow automation (Source: Azure documentation ) Think of these best practices as guardrails, guiding you toward secure decisions. But remember, flexibility is key. Adapt these practices to your specific environment and architecture. Conclusion As Azure's popularity skyrockets, so do the stakes. The shared responsibility model means you're not off the hook when it comes to security. Azure provides powerful tools like Sentinel and Defender XDR, but it's up to you to use them wisely and follow best practices. Protect your secrets like they're buried treasure, secure your data with Fort Knox-level encryption, implement identity management that would make a border patrol agent proud, and build a network architecture that's a digital fortress. And don't forget about operational security – it's the glue that holds it all together. But let's be real, managing security policies across multiple clouds can be a nightmare. That's where tools like AlgoSec CloudFlow come in. They provide a clear view of your security landscape, helping you identify vulnerabilities and streamline policy management. It's like having a security command center for your entire cloud infrastructure. So, what are you waiting for? Request a demo today and let AlgoSec help you build an Azure environment that's so secure, even the most determined cybercriminals will be left scratching their heads.

Zero Trust Zero Trust Design Nitin Rajput 2 min read Nitin Rajput Short bio about author here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Vitae donec tincidunt elementum quam laoreet duis sit enim. Duis mattis velit sit leo diam. Tags Share this article 5/18/24 Published In today’s evolving threat landscape, Zero Trust Architecture has emerged as a significant security framework for organizations. One influential model in this space is the Zero Trust Model, attributed to John Kinderbag. Inspired by Kinderbag’s model, we explore how our advanced solution can effectively align with the principles of Zero Trust. Let’s dive into the key points of mapping the Zero Trust Model with AlgoSec’s solution, enabling organizations to strengthen their security posture and embrace the Zero Trust paradigm. My approach of mapping Zero Trust Model with AlgoSec solution is based on John Kinderbag’s Zero Trust model ( details ) which being widely followed, and I hope it will help organizations in building their Zero trust strategy. Firstly, let’s understand what Zero trust is all about in a simple language. Zero Trust is a Cybersecurity approach that articulates that the fundamental problem we have is a broken trust model where the untrusted side of the network is the evil internet, and the trusted side is the stuff we control. Therefore, it is an approach to designing and implementing a security program based on the notion that no user or device or agent should have implicit trust. Instead, anyone or anything, a device or system that seeks access to corporate assets must prove it should be trusted. The primary goal of Zero Trust is to prevent breaches. Prevention is possible. In fact, it’s more cost effective from a business perspective to prevent a breach than it is to attempt to recover from a breach, pay a ransom, and the deal with the costs of downtime or lost customers. As per John Kinderbag, there are Four Zero Trust Design Principles and Five-Step Zero Trust Design Methodology. The Four Zero Trust Design Principles: The first and the most important principle of your Zero Trust strategy is know “What is the Business trying to achieve?”. Second, start with DAAS (Data, Application, Asset and Services) elements and protect surfaces that need protection and design outward from there. Third, determine who needs to have access to a resource in order to get their job done, commonly known as least privilege. Fourth, all the traffic going to and from a protect surface must be inspected and logged for malicious content. Define Business Outcomes Design from the inside out Determine who or what needs access Inspect and log all traffic The Five-Step Zero Trust Design Methodology To make your Zero trust journey achievable, you need a repeatable process to follow. The first step in the Zero trust is to break down your environment into smaller pieces that you need to protect (protect surfaces). The second step for deploying Zero Trust in each protect surfaces is to map the transactions flows so that we can allow only the ports and the address needed and nothing else. Everyone wants to know what products to buy to do Zero trust or to eliminate trust between digital systems, the truth is that you won’t know the answer to that until you’ve gone through the process. Which brings us to the third step in the methodology: architecting the Zero trust environment. Ultimately, we need to instantiate Zero Trust as a Layer 7 policy statement. Use the Kipling Method of Zero Trust policy writing to determine who or what can access your protect surface. The fifth design principle of Zero Trust is to inspect and log all traffic, for monitor and maintain, one needs to take all of the telemetry – whether it’s from a network detection and response tool, or from firewall or server application logs and then learn from them. As you learn over time, you can make security stronger and stronger. Define the protect surface Map the transaction flows Architect a Zero trust environment Create Zero trust policies Monitor and maintain. How AlgoSec aligns with “Map the transaction Flows” the 2nd step of Design Methodology? AlgoSec Auto-Discovery. analyses your traffic flows, turning them into a clear map. AutoDiscovery receives network traffic metadata as NetFlow, SFLOW, or full packets and then digest multiple streams of traffic metadata to let you clearly visualize your transaction flows. Once the transaction flows are discovered and optimized, the system keeps tracking changes in these flows. Once new flows are discovered in the network, the application description is updated with the new flows. Outcome: Clear visualization of transaction flows. Updated application description. Optimized transaction flows. How AlgoSec aligns with “Architect Zero Trust Policies” – the 4th step of Design Methodology? With AlgoSec, you can automate the security policy change process without introducing any element of risk, vulnerability, or compliance violation. AlgoSec allows you to ingest the discovered transaction flows as a Traffic Change request and analyze those traffic changes before they are implemented all the to your Firewalls, Public Cloud and SDN Solutions and validate successful changes as intended, all within your existing IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions. Outcome: Analyzed traffic changes for implementation. Implemented security policy changes without risk, vulnerability, or compliance violations. How Algosec aligns with “Monitor and maintain” – the 5th step of Design Methodology? AlgoSec analyzes security by analyzing firewall policies, firewall rules, firewall traffic logs and firewall change configurations. Detailed analysis of the security logs offers critical network vital intelligence about security breaches and attempted attacks like virus, trojans, and denial of service among others. With AlgoSec traffic flow analysis, you can monitor traffic within a specific firewall rule. You do not need to allow all traffic to traverse in all directions but instead, you can monitor it through the pragmatic behaviors on the network and enable network firewall administrators to recognize which firewall rules they can create and implement to allow only the necessary access. Outcome: Critical network intelligence, identification of security breaches and attempted attacks. Enhanced firewall rule creation and implementation, allowing only necessary access.
