  • Play by the rules: Automation for simplified rule recertification | AlgoSec

    Learn how automation can simplify the process of rule recertification and help determine which rules are still necessary Webinars Play by the rules: Automation for simplified rule recertification As time goes by, once effective firewall rules can become outdated. This results in bloated security policies which can slow down application delivery. Therefore, best practice and compliance requirements calls for rule recertification at least once per year. While rule recertification can be done manually by going through the comments fields of every rule, this is a tedious process which is also subject to the weaknesses of human error. Automation can simplify the process and help determine which rules are still necessary, if done right.

SANOFI FINDS THE CURE FOR TIME-CONSUMING APPLICATION MIGRATION WITH ALGOSEC Organization Sanofi Industry Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals Headquarters Paris, France Download case study Share Customer
success stories "Using AlgoSec during our data center migration allowed us to give technical project leaders access to all of the rules involved in the migration of their applications, which reduced the IT security team’s time on these projects by 80%. The application was very useful, simple to use and made everybody happy." AlgoSec Business Impact Simplify data center migration projects Reduce rule migration process time by 80% Streamline and improve firewall operations Background A multinational pharmaceutical company, Sanofi, has 112 industrial sites in 41 countries and operations in more than 100 countries. The company’s 110,000 employees are committed to protecting health, enhancing life, providing hope and responding to the potential healthcare needs of seven billion people around the world. Challenge The sensitive nature of Sanofi’s business and its wide ranging global operations require an extensive and well secured network, which currently has 120 firewalls all over the world. In the midst of a data center consolidation project, the company needed to understand how its security devices would be affected by application migrations. Sanofi was also eager to improve change management processes and gain key performance indicators (KPIs) for risk analysis.“Our main concern with the data center consolidation project was to enable various technical project leaders to see the different rules impacting the migration of their applications, and to avoid any outages. For that, we needed pre-migration and post-migration documentation on security,” says Bruno Roulleau, Network Security Architect at Sanofi. “We also needed metrics on the risk associated with different policies on the firewalls.” Solution When looking for a solution, Sanofi evaluated several vendors. “A key point for us was the ability to easily integrate the security devices in our current infrastructure, into the solution. We also wanted detailed reporting that would allow us to delegate policy management to project leaders,” Roulleau notes.Because Sanofi constantly upgrades its devices, its systems need to evolve and incorporate the new devices and rules seamlessly. “We chose the AlgoSec Security Management solution because its graphical interface is very user-friendly, it easily supports new devices and generates detailed reports and metrics on risks,” says Roulleau.Sanofi also appreciated AlgoSec’s flexibility. “AlgoSec is very open to developing new capabilities. We can ask to have some new features available by a certain date and they will deliver on time,” according to Roulleau. For a company with a complex network and rapidly evolving security needs, that responsiveness proved key to the decision to go with AlgoSec. Results Sanofi’s security team is now able to delegate responsibility for rule changes both during migration and on an ongoing basis. “Using AlgoSec during our data center migration allowed us to give technical project leaders access to all of the rules involved in the migration of their applications, which reduced the IT security team’s time on these projects by 80%. The application was very useful, simple to use and made everybody happy,” Roulleau says.Additionally, with AlgoSec’s reports Sanofi can now easily and clearly document the status of their firewalls as well as the impact of any changes on the network throughout the migration project. “We can now generate detailed reports in just three clicks!” Roulleau adds.Furthermore, AlgoSec’s optimization reports enabled Sanofi to clean up its security policies. Because they could clearly see all of the rules and their impact on network security, Roulleau’s team was able to safely eliminate unused and duplicate rules, which increased the efficiency of the firewalls. Those reports also provided insight into the risks associated with the current system and various changes being made. Schedule time with one of our experts

  • Best practices for securing a cloud network | AlgoSec

    Learn which cloud security services to consider first, how to prioritize them, and how to govern cloud access, policy changes, and audit evidence Best practices for securing a cloud network What are the best practices for securing a cloud network? Cloud network security often gets harder after the first migration. A team opens a security group for a launch, adds an NSG exception for a partner integration, creates a temporary egress path for testing, and then moves to the next release. Months later, no one is sure which connection is required, which one belongs to a retired application, or which exception needs review. The best practices for securing a cloud network are to map applications and data boundaries, segment workloads, enforce least-privilege access, reduce public exposure, control ingress and egress, encrypt traffic, monitor flows, review rules continuously, and govern changes with owners and audit evidence. Cloud network security is the combination of controls, processes, and policy decisions that protect how traffic moves within and between cloud environments, including hybrid connections to data centers and other clouds. Schedule a Demo Why cloud networks get harder to secure over time Cloud teams can create resources quickly. That speed is useful for delivery, but it also means security groups, route tables, VPC firewall rules, Azure network security groups, and private connectivity paths may change faster than central teams can document them. In many organizations, cloud platform teams, application owners, SecOps, compliance teams, and network engineers each see part of the picture. This is where cloud network security becomes a network security management problem, not only a cloud configuration task. A rule may be technically valid and still be too broad for the business need. Another rule may look unused until someone realizes it supports quarterly processing, a disaster recovery test, or a maintenance window. The safest improvement work starts by understanding the application, owner, traffic, and risk before changing access. Schedule a Demo Start with applications, data, and trust boundaries Before tightening rules, define what the network is protecting. Which applications are internet-facing? Which workloads process regulated or sensitive data? Which services need to communicate across accounts, subscriptions, projects, regions, or data centers? Those answers help teams define trust boundaries that match business services instead of arbitrary subnet lines. In practice, application connectivity management gives rule decisions better context. A cloud firewall rule that supports a payment application should not be reviewed the same way as a temporary test rule. The right question is not only whether traffic is allowed. It is which application depends on that access, who owns the decision, whether the flow is still required, and what could be affected if the connection changes. Zero trust principles support this work because traffic should not be treated as safe simply because it stays inside a virtual network. Requests should be evaluated through identity, device, service, resource, segmentation, and policy context. Schedule a Demo Use least privilege for cloud access rules Least privilege means giving workloads the access they need at the narrowest practical scope. For cloud networks, that usually means reviewing source and destination ranges, ports, protocols, administrative access, service tags, security group references, and outbound destinations. Broad access is not always careless. It can come from a migration deadline, a troubleshooting exception, or an application team that did not know the final dependency path. However, broad or stale access should become a review candidate. Teams should confirm the requester, owner, business need, risk tier, traffic history, and expiration before narrowing or removing the rule. This is also where application-centric rule recertification helps. Instead of asking application owners to approve technical firewall or security group objects in isolation, teams can review the applications and flows those rules support. Owners can confirm whether the application still exists, whether access is needed, and whether flows should be approved, changed, or removed. Schedule a Demo Control public exposure and egress paths Cloud networks need clear control over both inbound and outbound traffic. Ingress work usually gets more attention because public exposure is easy to understand: an internet-facing workload, an open administrative port, or a permissive source range. Egress matters too, especially for sensitive workloads that should communicate only with approved services, repositories, APIs, or inspection points. A practical review should include public IPs, load balancers, NAT gateways, private endpoints, VPNs, direct connectivity, cloud-to-cloud paths, and hybrid routes. For hybrid cloud security management , the challenge is that a connection may cross a cloud-native control and then pass through a data center firewall. Policy decisions are safer when teams can see both sides of that path. Schedule a Demo Monitor traffic and review rules continuously A secure design can drift as applications change. New releases add ports. Temporary exceptions remain after the ticket closes. Security groups get copied from one workload to another. As a result, teams need traffic visibility and recurring review, not only a clean launch configuration. Flow logs, firewall logs, route context, and policy analysis can help identify quiet rules, duplicate rules, shadow access, broad objects, and cleanup candidates. Still, a low-use rule should not be removed just because it looks quiet. Review the usage window, failover needs, seasonal jobs, owner notes, and exception history first. A firewall policy cleanup effort works better when cleanup decisions are tied to applications and evidence, not only to a last-used date. Schedule a Demo Keep changes governed and auditable Cloud network changes often start as simple requests: allow this application to reach that database, open a path for a vendor, or approve a temporary test connection. The governance question is whether the request includes enough detail to make a safe decision. Useful tickets identify the application, owner, source, destination, service, business need, risk level, duration, and rollback plan. A security policy change management process should also preserve the approval trail. During an audit, teams may need to explain why access was approved, who reviewed it, whether it was recertified, and how the organization knows it remains necessary. That evidence supports audit readiness and can reduce manual investigation when reviewers are not forced to rebuild the story later. Schedule a Demo Cloud network security best practices at a glance Best practice What teams should do What to verify Segment by application and data sensitivity Separate workloads by trust boundary, function, exposure, and compliance scope Application owner, sensitive data, approved flows, and exceptions Use least-privilege access rules Limit sources, destinations, ports, protocols, and admin access Requester, business need, expiration, traffic use, and risk tier Control ingress and egress Reduce public exposure and define approved outbound paths Internet-facing assets, NAT paths, endpoints, and inspection coverage Encrypt traffic and secure private connectivity Use secure channels for cloud, user, and hybrid connections TLS, VPN, certificates, keys, and routing paths Monitor flows and detect drift Use traffic and policy analysis to find quiet, broad, or stale access Observed traffic, failover paths, seasonal use, and cleanup candidates Govern changes with evidence Tie access changes to owners, approvals, rollback, and recertification Change history, review decisions, audit records, and justification Schedule a Demo How AlgoSec Horizon fits into cloud network security Cloud network security decisions rarely sit inside one console. A team may need to evaluate an AWS security group, an Azure NSG, a VPC firewall rule, a data center firewall, a route path, and an application dependency before deciding whether access should stay in place. AlgoSec Horizon helps enterprise teams connect application context, security policy visibility, risk analysis, governed change processes, and compliance-ready evidence across hybrid networks. For cloud network security, that means teams can review access in relation to the application it supports, the traffic that has been observed, the risk attached to the rule, the owner responsible for the decision, and the audit evidence that should be kept. For example, a broad NSG rule may look like an easy cleanup target until the team sees that it supports a business application during month-end processing. A cloud egress rule may look acceptable until the destination, NAT path, and application owner are reviewed together. AlgoSec Horizon supports this more connected review model by helping teams move from isolated rule inspection toward application-centric policy governance. That context supports daily operations: less manual investigation, stronger compliance evidence, governed automation, and better risk decisions before access changes. Schedule a Demo Frequently asked questions What is the first step in securing a cloud network? Start by mapping applications, data sensitivity, owners, exposure, and traffic paths. Rule design depends on what each workload needs to communicate with and who can approve changes. Should cloud security groups allow broad internal traffic? Broad internal access should be limited unless there is a documented business reason, accountable owner, review date, and risk decision. Internal traffic can still create exposure when policy drift or forgotten exceptions accumulate. How often should cloud firewall and security group rules be reviewed? Review cadence should follow risk and change frequency. Internet-facing, privileged, regulated, or business-critical workloads usually need more frequent review.

Microsegmentation Zero Trust: How Microsegmentation Drives Zero Trust Success Microsegmentation zero trust is the practice of enforcing zero trust principles through fine‑grained, application‑aware segmentation at the workload and service level. Companies today are turning to microsegmentation, a granular form of network segmentation, to contain attacks quickly, prove least‑privilege access, and simplify compliance across hybrid environments. Despite still having to spend an average of $4.4 million per breach, according to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025 , this is 9% lower than 2024. That drop ties directly to faster identification and containment—outcomes microsegmentation accelerates by limiting lateral movement and shrinking the blast radius from the first indicator of compromise. In yet another study, Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report , more than 12,000 confirmed breaches demonstrated how multi-stage intrusions use lateral movement, which microsegmentation technology directly addresses. Meanwhile, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires network segmentation for system scope reduction, which leads to decreased audit work and better system isolation. Taken together, these findings underscore a simple point: Organizations need application‑aware controls—specifically microsegmentation—to stop attackers from moving between systems and to operationalize zero trust. This article discusses the zero trust vs. micro‑segmentation debate, explains how zero trust and microsegmentation in fact work together, and provides a path to design, enforce, and operate this approach. What Is Microsegmentation? Microsegmentation divides networks into small, secure domains that match workload requirements and user/service identities with explicit allow‑rules to stop lateral movement. Network security today benefits from application-based boundaries, i.e., policies applied where applications actually communicate—not just subnets and VLANS. In practice, that means protecting individual workloads and the communication between them across data centers, public clouds, containers, and endpoints—rather than vaguely “protecting components” or “locations.” What Is the Difference Between Traditional (Macro) and Micro-Segmentation This comparison comes down to a difference in approach: Macro-segmentation uses broad VLANs and subnets or DMZs to divide network tiers; while this provides limited east-west control, it is simpler to design. Micro-segmentation uses SDN and host agents, as well as cloud security groups; application-specific policies are enforced at the workload/service boundary, which is why they are the engine of microsegmentation zero trust. What Role Do Firewalls and Network Segmentation Layers Play in Microsegmentation? Your existing perimeter and internal firewalls provide north‑south control, compliance zones, and enforcement points that microsegmentation can orchestrate. In other words, microsegmentation complements firewalls and network segmentation layers—it does not replace them. Extending the point above: Microsegmentation orchestrates those firewall and segmentation layers to deploy least‑privilege across hybrid systems—specifically: Cloud security groups NACLs SDN fabrics Kubernetes policies Host-based controls Since these layers are complementary, they collectively shrink the blast radius. What Is Zero Trust? Zero trust is a security concept, not a product or service. The system uses identity-based dynamic authorization, which takes into account device health status and environmental context—instead of traditional static location-based access methods. Verification is continuous because environments and risk conditions evolve. Zero trust verifies every access decision—no implicit trust—and enforces least privilege Zero Trust vs. Micro‑Segmentation: Complementary Forces While zero trust operates as an operational framework, microsegmentation functions as an implementation methodology. While zero trust explains what needs protection and which aspects require protection, microsegmentation provides the how. The table below breaks down the two concepts across key parameters. Aspect Zero Trust (Strategy) Microsegmentation (Mechanism) Focus Identity, posture, continuous verification Allowed app/workload flows Scope Enterprise‑wide architecture App tiers, services, identities Enforcement Policies derived from context and risk SDN, host agents, security groups, firewalls Outcome Minimized implicit trust; provable least‑privilege Contained blast radius; fewer lateral‑movement paths What Is Microsegmentation Zero Trust? The combination of zero trust and microsegmentation forms microsegmentation zero trust—a strategy connected to enforcement. The three primary goals of this approach are: Risk reduction Lateral movement prevention Least privilege verification Microsegmentation zero trust applies zero trust principles—continuous verification and least privilege—by defining and enforcing explicit, application‑aware allow‑rules between identities, services, and workloads. Why Does Microsegmentation Zero Trust Matter? It matters because it measurably reduces lateral movement paths and speeds incident containment. Authorized paths are explicitly permitted communication flows (service A to service B on port X from an approved identity) that have been validated as necessary for the application to function. Pre‑defining and testing these authorized paths speeds deployment because changes ship with pre-validated, least‑privilege policies—reducing last‑minute firewall rework, minimizing approvals, and preventing rollback from unexpected blocks. Implementing Microsegmentation to Achieve Zero Trust Microsegmentation is a continuous process, consisting of multiple stages to successfully achieve zero trust. Asset & Dependency Discovery Start by analyzing the network traffic behavior of applications and workloads in traditional on-premises setups, public clouds, and container environments. This application-first view serves as the base for zero trust segmentation, which stops security gaps from occurring. Policy Creation Create allow‑lists for individual app components and identity groups based on observed application traffic flows (sources/destinations, ports, processes) and documented business requirements, then validate with “what‑if” simulations before production. Enforcement Implement the approved policy through current controls—cloud security groups, firewalls, SDN fabrics, host controls, and Kubernetes—to achieve uniform protection across hybrid and multi-cloud systems. Continuous Monitoring & Adaptive Policy Continuously monitor for drift, prune unused rules, and adjust policies using detection data—without re‑introducing broad implicit trust or “allow any” access. Challenges & Pitfalls to Avoid Security organizations that operate effectively still encounter various obstacles when implementing microsegmentation: Lack of visibility in application maps: When third-party or SaaS endpoints and ephemeral services (containers, serverless functions) are not properly documented, visibility suffers. The fix? Run continuous dependency discovery operations while keeping tags and labels up to date. Focusing solely on network-based controls: Ignoring workload and identity context can weaken your security measures. The fix? Use service accounts, workload identities, namespaces, and labels as the basis for policy connections whenever possible. Relying on a single technology: Depending only on firewalls or security groups can create gaps in your security posture. The fix? Implement security orchestration using a combination of firewalls, SDN security groups, and Kubernetes network policies. Manual exception handling: Human intervention creates delays, slowing down release cycles. The fix? Orchestrate a combination of controls—next‑gen firewalls, SDN fabrics, cloud security groups, and Kubernetes network policy—so each layer covers the others.
