Due to the complexity and multifacetedness of cloud technologies, cloud-native applications are challenging to safeguard. As a result, security teams use multiple security solutions, like CWPP and CSPM, to protect applications. The problem with this approach is that handling multiple security tools is laborious, time-consuming, and inefficient. Cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is a new cloud security solution that promises to solve this problem. What is CNAPP? A cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is an all-in-one tool with the capabilities of different cloud-native security tools. It combines the security features of multiple tools and provides comprehensive protection – from the development and configuration stages to deployment and runtime. Container security is here to stay A CNAPP combines CSPM, CIEM, IAM, CWPP, and more in one tool. It streamlines cloud security monitoring, threat detection, and remediation processes. The all-in-one platform gives organizations better visibility into threats and vulnerabilities. Instead of using multiple tools to receive alerts and formulate a remediation plan, a CNAPP minimizes complexity and enables security teams to monitor and draw insights from a single platform. How Does CNAPP Work and Why is it So Important to Have? This new cloud security approach offers the capabilities of multiple security tools in one software. Some of these security functions include Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Scanning, Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP), Cloud Network Security Connectivity (CNSC), and Kubernetes Security Posture Management (CIEM). The all-in-one platform centralizes insights, enabling security professionals to monitor and analyze data from the same space. A CNAPP identifies risks with strong context, provides detailed alerts, and offers automation features to fix vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. A CNAPP is essential because it reduces complexity and minimizes overhead. Given how complex and dynamic the cloud environments are, organizations are faced with enormous security threats. Enterprises deploy applications on multiple private and public clouds leveraging various dynamic, mixed technologies. This makes securing cloud assets significantly challenging. To cope with the complexity, security operations teams rely on multiple cloud security solutions. SecOps use various solutions to protect modern development practices, such as containers, Kubernetes, serverless functions, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (IaC). This approach has been helpful. That said, it’s laborious and inefficient. In addition to not providing a broad view of security risks, dealing with multiple tools negatively impacts accuracy and decreases productivity. Having to correlate data from several platforms leads to errors and delayed responses. A CNAPP takes care of these problems by combining the functionalities of multiple tools in one software. It protects every stage of the cloud application lifecycle, from development to runtime. Leveraging advanced analytics and remediation automation, CNAPPs help organizations address cloud-native risks, harden applications, and institute security best practices. What Problems Does a CNAPP Solve? This new category of cloud application security tool is revolutionizing the cybersecurity landscape. It solves major challenges DevSecOps have been dealing with. That said, a CNAPP helps security teams to solve the following problems. 1. Enhancing Visibility and Quantifying Risks A CNAPP offers a broader visibility of security risks. It leverages multiple security capabilities to enable DevOps and DevSecOps to spot and fix potential security issues throughout the entire application lifecycle. The all-in-one security platform enables teams to keep tabs on all cloud infrastructures ( like apps, APIs, and classified data) and cloud services (like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud). In addition, it provides insights that help security teams to quantify risks and formulate data-driven remediation strategies. 2. Combined Cloud Security Solution A CNAPP eliminates the need to use multiple cloud-native application protection solutions. It provides all the features needed to detect and solve security issues. Scanning, detection, notification, and reporting are consolidated in one software. This reduces human error, shortens response time, and minimizes the cost of operation. 3. Secure Software Development It reinforces security at every stage of the application lifecycle. The tool helps DevOps teams to shift left, thus minimizing the incidence of vulnerabilities or security issues at runtime. 4. Team Collaboration Collaboration is difficult and error-prone when teams are using multiple tools. Data correlation and analysis take more time since team members have more than one tool to deal with. A CNAPP is a game-changer! It has advanced workflows, data correlation, analytics, and remediation features. These functionalities enhance team collaboration and increase productivity. What are CNAPP Features and Capabilities/Key Components of CNAPP? Even though the features and capabilities of CNAPPs differ (based on vendors), there are key components an effective CNAPP should have. That being said, here are the seven key components: Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) A CSPM solution focuses on maintaining proper cloud configuration. It monitors, detects, and fixes misconfigurations & compliance violations. CSPM monitors cloud resources and alerts security teams when a non-compliant resource is identified. Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Scanning IaC Scanning enables the early detection of errors (misconfigurations) in code. Spotting misconfigurations before deployment helps to avoid vulnerabilities at runtime. This tool is used to carry out some kind of code review. The purpose is to ensure code quality by scanning for vulnerable points, compliance issues, and violations of policies. Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) Cloud workload protection platform (CSPM) secures cloud workloads, shielding your resources from security threats. CSPM protects various workloads, from virtual machines (VMs) and databases to Kubernetes and containers. A CWPP monitors and provides insights to help security teams prevent security breaches. Cloud Network Security Connectivity (CNSC) Cloud Network Security Connectivity (CNSC) provides complete real-time visibility and access to risks across all your cloud resources and accounts. This cloud security solution allows you to explore the risks, activate security rules, and suppress whole risks or risk triggers, export risk trigger details, access all network rules in the context of their policy sets and create risk reports. Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) Kubernetes security posture management (KSPM) capability enables organizations to maintain standard security posture by preventing Kubernetes misconfigurations and compliance violations. KSPM solution, similar to Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), automates Kubernetes security, reinforces compliance, identifies misconfigurations, and monitors Kubernetes clusters to ensure maximum security. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) A Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) tool is used to administer permissions and access policies. To maintain the integrity of cloud and multi-cloud environments, identities and access privileges must be regulated. This is where CIEM comes in! CIEM solutions, also known as Cloud permissions Management Solutions, help organizations prevent data breaches by enforcing the principle of least privileges. Integration to Software Development Activities This component of CNAPP focuses on integrating cloud-native application protection solutions into the development phase to improve reliability and robustness in the CI/CD pipeline stage. What are the Benefits of CNAPP? Transitioning from using multiple cloud security tools to implementing a CNAPP solution can benefit your company in many ways. Some benefits include: 1. Streamlines Security Operations Managing multiple security tools decreases efficiency and leads to employee burnout. Correlating data from different software is laborious and error-prone. It prolongs response time. A CNAPP streamlines activities by giving security teams broad visibility from a single tool. This makes monitoring and remediation easier than ever – making security teams more efficient and productive. 2. Better Visibility into Risks A CNAPP provides better visibility into security risks associated with your cloud infrastructure. It covers all aspects of cloud-native application protection, providing security teams with the necessary insights to close security gaps, harden applications, and ward off threats. 3. Improves Security With Automation Risk detection and vulnerability management are automated. Automation of security tasks increases reliability, reduces human error, and enables rapid response to threats. It combines automation and advanced analytics to offer organizations accurate insights into risks. 4. Reduces the Number of Bug Fixes A CNAPP prevents vulnerabilities at runtime by detecting threats and errors in the CI/CD pipeline phases. This approach improves DevOps team productivity and decreases the number of bug fixes after deployment. In other words, shifting left ensures the deployment of high-quality code. 5. Reduces Overhead Costs If you want to cut down the cost of operation, consider choosing a CNAPP over CSPM and other standalone cloud security tools. It reduces overhead by eliminating the need to operate and maintain multiple cloud security solutions.

Security Policy Management Managing network connectivity during mergers and acquisitions Prof. Avishai Wool 2 min read Prof. Avishai Wool 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 7/22/21 Published Prof. Avishai Wool discusses the complexities of mergers and acquisitions for application management and how organizations can securely navigate the transition It comes as no surprise that the number of completed Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) dropped significantly during the early stages of the pandemic as businesses closed ranks and focused on surviving rather than thriving. However, as we start to find some reprieve, many experts forecast that we’ll see an upturn in activity. In fact, by the end of 2020, M&A experienced a sudden surge and finished the year with only a 3% decline on 2019 levels. Acquiring companies is more than just writing a cheque. There are hundreds of things to consider both big and small, from infrastructure to staffing, which can make or break a merger. With that in mind, what do businesses need to do in order to ensure a secure and successful transition? When two worlds collide For many businesses, a merger or acquisition is highly charged. There’s often excitement about new beginnings mixed with trepidation about major business changes, not least when it comes to IT security. Mergers and acquisitions are like two planets colliding, each with their own intricate ecosystem. You have two enterprises running complex IT infrastructures with hundreds if not thousands of applications that don’t just simply integrate together. More often than not they perform replicated functions, which implies that some need to be used in parallel, while others need to be decommissioned and removed. This means amending, altering, and updating thousands of policies to accommodate new connections, applications, servers, and firewalls without creating IT security risks or outages. In essence, from an IT security perspective, a merger or acquisition is a highly complicated project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a long-term impact on business operations. Migrating and merging infrastructures One thing a business will need before it can even start the M&A process is an exhaustive inventory of all business applications spanning both businesses. An auto-discovery tool can assist here, collecting data from any application that is active on the network and adding it to a list. This should allow the main business to create a map of network connectivity flows which will form the cornerstone of the migration from an application perspective. Next comes security. A vulnerability assessment should be carried across both enterprise networks to identify any business-critical applications that may be put at risk. This assessment will give the main business the ability to effectively ‘rank’ applications and devices in terms of risk and necessity, allowing for priority lists to be created. This will help SecOps focus their efforts on crucial areas of the business that contain sensitive customer data, for instance. By following these steps you’ll get a clear organizational view of the entire enterprise environment and be able to identify and map all the critical business applications, linking vulnerabilities and cyber risks to specific applications and prioritize remediation actions based on business-driven needs. The power of automation While the steps outlined above will give you with an accurate picture of your IT topology and its business risk, this is only the first half of the story. Now you need to update security policies to support changes to business applications. Automation is critical when it comes to maintaining security during a merger or acquisition. An alarming number of data breaches are due to firewall misconfigurations, often resulting from attempts to change policies manually in a complex network environment. This danger increases with M&A, because the two merging enterprises likely have different firewall setups in place, often mixing traditional with next-generation firewalls or firewalls that come from different vendors. Automation is therefore essential to ensure the firewall change management process is handled effectively and securely with minimal risk of misconfigurations. Achieving true Zero-Touch automation in the network security domain is not an easy task but over time, you can let your automation solution run handsfree as you conduct more changes and gain trust through increasing automation levels step by step. Our Security Management Solution enables IT and security teams to manage and control all their security devices – from cloud controls in public clouds, SDNs, and on-premise firewalls from one single console. With AlgoSec you can automate time-consuming security policy changes and proactively assess risk to ensure continuous compliance. It is our business-driven approach to security policy management that enables organizations to reduce business risk, ensure security and continuous compliance, and drive business agility. Maintaining security throughout the transition A merger or acquisition presents a range of IT challenges but ensuring business applications can continue to run securely throughout the transition is critical. If you take an application centric approach and utilize automation, you will be in the best position for the merger/migration and will ultimately drive long term success.

Security Policy Management with Professor Wool Advanced Cyber Threat and Incident Management Advanced Cyber Threat and Incident Management is a whiteboard-style series of lessons that examine some of the challenges and provide technical tips for helping organizations detect and quickly respond to cyber-attacks while minimizing the impact on the business. Lesson 1 SIEM solutions collect and analyze logs generated by the technology infrastructure, security systems and business applications. The Security Operations Center (SOC) team uses this information to identify and flag suspicious activity for further investigation. In this lesson, Professor Wool explains why it’s important to connect the information collected by the SIEM with other databases that provide information on application connectivity, in order to make informed decisions on the level of risk to the business, and the steps the SOC needs to take to neutralize the attack. How to bring business context into incident response Watch Lesson 2 In this lesson Professor Wool discusses the need for reachability analysis in order to assess the severity of the threat and potential impact of an incident. Professor Wool explains how to use traffic simulations to map connectivity paths to/from compromised servers and to/from the internet. By mapping the potential lateral movement paths of an attacker across the network, the SOC team can, for example, proactively take action to prevent data exfiltration or block incoming communications with Command and Control servers.

Tags Share this article 4/6/26 Published As we close out the first quarter of 2026, I find myself reflecting on a start to the year that was defined by product momentum, stronger market validation, growing trust from regulated organizations, and meaningful industry recognition. In just three months , AlgoSec introduced important platform enhancements, published fresh research on where network security is heading, strengthened its standing with government and highly regulated customers, and closed the quarter with three major awards. More importantly, Q1 reinforced something we believe strongly: the market is moving toward security that is more application-centric, more automated, and more aligned with business reality. January – Removing friction across hybrid and multi-cloud security We opened the year with the release of A33.20, a meaningful step forward for the AlgoSec Horizon platform. The focus of this release was practical and timely: help security teams move faster without losing visibility, control, or confidence. As hybrid environments continue to grow more complex, policy changes are happening under tighter timelines and with higher business stakes. A33.20 was built to reduce that friction by simplifying workflows , improving visibility across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Palo Alto Networks environments , automating more of the change process, and evaluating risk and compliance in the context of enterprise applications rather than as disconnected technical issues. What stood out most to me about this release was not just the feature list, but the direction behind it. Security teams do not need more noise. They need better context, clearer prioritization, and safer execution. With A33.20, we kept pushing toward a model where security policy management becomes more intelligent, more business-aware, and far less dependent on manual, error-prone work. That is the standard modern enterprises are increasingly demanding, and it set the tone for our quarter. February – Turning market insight and trust into momentum In February, we released the 2026 State of Network Security Report , and the findings made one thing very clear: the market is entering a new phase. Based on more than 500 responses across 28 countries, the report showed that organizations are looking for consolidation, unification, automation, and control as they navigate rapid cloud expansion, distributed workloads, and AI-driven traffic patterns. It also showed how quickly the environment is changing: 65% of respondents said they had already adjusted their strategies in response to AI-powered attacks, and 54.7% said security capabilities are now the most important factor when selecting a cloud platform. That market shift was reflected in our own momentum. In February, AlgoSec reported its best year ever , with gross dollar retention above 90%, 37% year-over-year new business growth in 2025, and more than 100 customers implementing the Horizon platform within months of its launch . March – Three awards that told one bigger story March brought a level of external validation that made the quarter feel complete. First, the 2026 Globee Awards for Cybersecurity named AlgoSec Horizon the Gold winner and Best of Category for Risk and Policy Management Solution . For us, that recognition validated the value of helping customers cut through fragmented environments with unified visibility across cloud and on-prem networks, automate policy management safely, and prioritize remediation in the context of real business applications. That recognition was followed by Cyber Defense Magazine’s 2026 Global InfoSec Award for Trailblazing AI-Powered Cybersecurity Solutions , published as part of its RSAC/March 2026 issue. This award mattered for a different but equally important reason. It reinforced that our AI strategy is not about adding another feature or another layer of alerts. It is about changing how security is managed: using AI to understand applications, prioritize risk based on business impact, and help teams implement the right policies across multi-cloud and on-prem environments. The capabilities highlighted internally — Horizon AppViz , AI risk prioritization, Intelligent Policy, and the Algo AI Assistant — reflect that broader shift from reactive security operations to intelligent, application-aware automation. Then came the 2026 SC Award for Best Risk/Policy Management Solution . What I especially appreciate about this recognition is that it reinforced the completeness of the platform story. SC Media highlighted AlgoSec’s application-centric approach across virtual, cloud, and physical environments, with a judge’s emphasis on the clarity of the overall offering and its fit for the enterprise environment. Together with the Globee recognition , the SC Award strengthened the message that risk and policy management today must be tied to application context, business impact, and real operational execution, not just rule sprawl or isolated controls. Taken together, these three awards told one bigger story about who we are and where the market is heading. Two awards validated our strength in risk and policy management. One validated our leadership in AI-powered cybersecurity innovation. All three pointed to the same underlying differentiation: AlgoSec does not treat applications, risk, and policy as separate problems. We connect them in one platform, helping organizations gain visibility, reduce manual effort, accelerate delivery, and maintain continuous compliance across hybrid environments. Looking ahead If Q1 is any indication, 2026 will be a year defined by consolidation . Security teams are being asked to move faster, manage more complexity, and prove business value more clearly than ever before . Our responsibility is to help them do exactly that with better visibility, smarter automation, stronger compliance, and a security model built around how applications actually work. That is the direction we have been building toward, and Q1 gave us strong proof that it is the right one. We are proud of how the year has begun, but even more energized by what comes next. The momentum from this quarter gives us a strong foundation for the rest of 2026, and we remain focused on helping enterprises simplify security management, reduce risk, and secure application connectivity without slowing the business down.

Cloud Security Sunburst Backdoor, Part II: DGA & The List of Victims Rony Moshkovich 2 min read Rony Moshkovich 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 12/17/20 Published Previous Part of the analysis is available here . Next Part of the analysis is available here . Update from 19 December 2020: Prevasio would like to thank Zetalytics for providing us with an updated (larger) list of passive (historic) DNS queries for the domains generated by the malware. As described in the first part of our analysis, the DGA (Domain Generation Algorithm) of the Sunburst backdoor produces a domain name that may look like: fivu4vjamve5vfrtn2huov[.]appsync-api.us-west-2[.]avsvmcloud[.]com The first part of the domain name (before the first dot) consists of a 16-character random string, appended with an encoded computer’s domain name. This is the domain in which the local computer is registered. From the example string above, we can conclude that the encoded computer’s domain starts from the 17th character and up until the dot (highlighted in yellow): fivu4vjamve5vfrt n2huov In order to encode a local computer’s domain name, the malware uses one of 2 simple methods: Method 1 : a substitution table, if the domain name consists of small letters, digits, or special characters ‘-‘, ‘_’, ‘.’ Method 2 : base64 with a custom alphabet, in case of capital letters present in the domain name Method 1 In our example, the encoded domain name is “n2huov” . As it does not have any capital letters, the malware encodes it with a substitution table “rq3gsalt6u1iyfzop572d49bnx8cvmkewhj” . For each character in the domain name, the encoder replaces it with a character located in the substitution table four characters right from the original character. In order to decode the name back, all we have to do is to replace each encoded character with another character, located in the substitution table four characters left from the original character. To illustrate this method, imagine that the original substitution table is printed on a paper strip and then covered with a card with 6 perforated windows. Above each window, there is a sticker note with a number on it, to reflect the order of characters in the word “n2huov” , where ‘n’ is #1, ‘2’ is #2, ‘h’ is #3 and so on: Once the paper strip is pulled by 4 characters right, the perforated windows will reveal a different word underneath the card: “domain” , where ‘d’ is #1, ‘o’ is #2, ‘m’ is #3, etc.: A special case is reserved for such characters as ‘0’ , ‘-‘ , ‘_’ , ‘.’ . These characters are encoded with ‘0’ , followed with a character from the substitution table. An index of that character in the substitution table, divided by 4, provides an index within the string “0_-.” . The following snippet in C# illustrates how an encoded string can be decoded: static string decode_domain( string s) { string table = "rq3gsalt6u1iyfzop572d49bnx8cvmkewhj" ; string result = "" ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < s.Length; i++) { if (s[i] != '0' ) { result += table[(table.IndexOf(s[i]) + table.Length - 4 ) % table.Length]; } else { if (i < s.Length - 1 ) { if (table.Contains(s[i + 1 ])) { result += "0_-." [table.IndexOf(s[i + 1 ]) % 4 ]; } else { break ; } } i++; } } return result; } Method 2 This method is a standard base64 encoder with a custom alphabet “ph2eifo3n5utg1j8d94qrvbmk0sal76c” . Here is a snippet in C# that provides a decoder: public static string FromBase32String( string str) { string table = "ph2eifo3n5utg1j8d94qrvbmk0sal76c" ; int numBytes = str.Length * 5 / 8 ; byte [] bytes = new Byte[numBytes]; int bit_buffer; int currentCharIndex; int bits_in_buffer; if (str.Length < 3 ) { bytes[ 0 ] = ( byte )(table.IndexOf(str[ 0 ]) | table.IndexOf(str[ 1 ]) << 5 ); return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes); } bit_buffer = (table.IndexOf(str[ 0 ]) | table.IndexOf(str[ 1 ]) << 5 ); bits_in_buffer = 10 ; currentCharIndex = 2 ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < bytes.Length; i++) { bytes[i] = ( byte )bit_buffer; bit_buffer >>= 8 ; bits_in_buffer -= 8 ; while (bits_in_buffer < 8 && currentCharIndex < str.Length) { bit_buffer |= table.IndexOf(str[currentCharIndex++]) << bits_in_buffer; bits_in_buffer += 5 ; } } return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes); } When the malware encodes a domain using Method 2, it prepends the encrypted string with a double zero character: “00” . Following that, extracting a domain part of an encoded domain name (long form) is as simple as: static string get_domain_part( string s) { int i = s.IndexOf( ".appsync-api" ); if (i > 0 ) { s = s.Substring( 0 , i); if (s.Length > 16 ) { return s.Substring( 16 ); } } return "" ; } Once the domain part is extracted, the decoded domain name can be obtained by using Method 1 or Method 2, as explained above: if (domain.StartsWith( "00" )) { decoded = FromBase32String(domain.Substring( 2 )); } else { decoded = decode_domain(domain); } Decrypting the Victims’ Domain Names To see the decoder in action, let’s select 2 lists: List #1 Bambenek Consulting has provided a list of observed hostnames for the DGA domain. List #2 The second list has surfaced in a Paste bin paste , allegedly sourced from Zetalytics / Zonecruncher . NOTE: This list is fairly ‘noisy’, as it has non-decodable domain names. By feeding both lists to our decoder, we can now obtain a list of decoded domains, that could have been generated by the victims of the Sunburst backdoor. DISCLAIMER: It is not clear if the provided lists contain valid domain names that indeed belong to the victims. It is quite possible that the encoded domain names were produced by third-party tools, sandboxes, or by researchers that investigated and analysed the backdoor. The decoded domain names are provided purely as a reverse engineering exercise. The resulting list was manually processed to eliminate noise, and to exclude duplicate entries. Following that, we have made an attempt to map the obtained domain names to the company names, using Google search. Reader’s discretion is advised as such mappings could be inaccurate.

Explore Algosec's customer success stories to see how organizations worldwide improve security, compliance, and efficiency with our solutions. NCR ACCELERATES TOWARDS ZERO-TRUST Organization NCR Global Industry Financial Services Headquarters Georgia, USA Download case study Share Customer
success stories “AlgoSec helps us be vendor-agnostic and understand our full security posture to lead us down this journey to achieve zero-trust.” Scott Theriault, Global Manager Network Perimeter Security NCR Corporation Background NCR Corporation is a leading global point-of-sale (POS) provider for restaurants, retailers, and banks and a provider of multi-vendor ATM software. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, NCR has over 36,000 employees in 160 countries, and solutions are distributed in 141 countries. As NCR expands into public cloud platforms such as AWS, they require consistent visibility and security policy management across both on-premises and cloud environments. The challenge NCR needed to connect its DevOps pipeline with its network security. With over 4,500 policy changes made annually, it was difficult to securely manage their entire networking and security environment while being responsive to application owners but still achieve zero trust. Strategically, they were aiming to automate and orchestrate security policy changes across their entire hybrid network, so they could securely accelerate application delivery. As applications and services moved into AWS, NCR also needed unified governance across physical firewalls, Cisco ACI, and cloud-native controls such as AWS Security Groups and AWS Network Firewall. The solution They implemented the AlgoSec Security Policy Management Solution, made up of AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer , AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow , and AlgoSec Horizon AppViz and AppChange. This solution is now part of AlgoSec Horizon, which also includes AlgoSec Cloud Enterprise (ACE) for cloud-native visibility and policy management . AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer enables organizations to discover, identify, and map business applications across their entire hybrid network. It analyzes complex network security policies across the network. It automates and simplifies security operations, including troubleshooting, auditing, and risk analysis. AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow enables security staff to automate the entire security policy change process from design and submission to proactive risk analysis, implementation, validation, and auditing. Its intelligent, automated workflows save time and improve security by eliminating manual errors and reducing risk. AlgoSec Horizon AppViz , the application visibility add-on for AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer , provides visibility for your network applications, enabling secure application delivery. AlgoSec AppChange, the application automation add-on for AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow , allows for changes at the business application level, including during the application migrations, server deployment, and decommissioning projects. With ACE, NCR also gains visibility into AWS environments, including VPCs, Transit Gateways, Security Groups, and AWS Network Firewall, ensuring consistent zero-trust controls across their hybrid network. The results AlgoSec is a strategic component of NCR’s network security, managing its entire network security infrastructure. The AlgoSec platform enables the NCR Corporation to manage application connectivity end-to-end across their network — including public cloud, Cisco ACI, and physical firewalls. With AlgoSec Horizon and ACE, NCR now extends this visibility into AWS cloud environments, unifying security policy management across firewalls, Cisco ACI, and AWS-native controls such as Security Groups and AWS Network Firewall. “Most products don’t understand the end-to-end environment. AlgoSec does,” noted Scott Theriault, Global Manager, Network Perimeter Security. Some of the ways that NCR Corporation benefits from AlgoSec include: Launched migration of their on-premises data centers into the Cisco ACI fabric. Extended micro-segmentation to Cisco ACI environment. Extended segmentation and zero-trust policy enforcement into AWS cloud architectures. Achieved complete visibility of their global security posture from a single dashboard. Automated risk analysis, achieving visibility and insights into the risk that changes introduce. Streamlined auditing process with to automatic logging and audit-ready compliance reports. Cleaned up and reduced firewall policies with rule cleanup, object cleanup, and policy tuning. Unified governance across on-prem, ACI, and AWS environments to support consistent zero-trust policy controls. “As we aspire to achieve zero-trust, when moving into the cloud, micro-segmentation and container security come into play. Therefore, we need tools like AlgoSec to assist us in the journey because most application owners don’t know what access is needed. This tool helps them learn what needs to be implemented to reduce the attack surface,” stated Theriault. Schedule time with one of our experts

Their job is to protect their client’s money, information, and offer long-term financial security. Challenges The company’s firewalls were managed by a Managed Service Security Provider (MSSP) and there had not been enough insight and analysis into their network over the years, leading to a bloated and redundant network infrastructure. Firewalls and infrastructure did not get the care and attention they needed. As a result, some of their challenges included: Legacy firewalls that had not been adequately maintained Difficulty identifying and quantifying network risk Lack of oversight and analysis of the changes made by their Managed Services Security Provider (MSSP) Change requests for functionality that was already covered by existing rules The Solution The customer was searching for a solution that provided: A strong local presence Repeatable and recordable change management processes As a result, the customer implemented AlgoSec. The client selected AlgoSec’s Security Policy Management Solution, which includes AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer and AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow. AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer delivers visibility and analysis of complex network security policies across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid networks. It automates and simplifies security operations including troubleshooting, auditing, and risk analysis.
