- NIST standards & cybersecurity framework explained | AlgoSec
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework as well as other NIST security standards help set clear best practices for organizational cyber and network security NIST standards & cybersecurity framework explained The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) is a US government agency, under the Commerce Department, whose mission is to set several types of standards, including security standards. Some NIST data security standards include NIST 800-53, which offers security controls and privacy controls in the areas of application security, mobile, and cloud computing, and supply chain security, NIST 800-53/FI, which establishes standards to implement FISMA , NIST 800-30, which provides guidelines for conducting risk assessments, NIST 800-171, pertaining to the physical security of data centers, and ISO 27001 . White Paper Solution Overview Understanding the NIST Cybersecurity Framework One of the most widely used NIST security standard is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). This internationally recognized framework offers voluntary guidance, based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices for organizations to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. It provides companies with an easy-to-understand common language for talking about cybersecurity risk, no matter where they are on the org chart – from the server room to the board room. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework identifies five core functions: Identify Protect Detect Respond Recover The framework describes desired outcomes that are understandable by everyone, applies to any kind of risk management, defines the entire breath of cybersecurity, and spans both prevention and reaction. Webinar Infographic FAQ ABOUT NIST CYBERSECURITY STANDARDS Understanding NIST Cybersecurity Standards is a crucial part of your network security compliance posture. There are many international regulations that your organization needs to be compliant with, including HIPPA , PCI DSS , GDPR , NIST , ISO 27001, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). Do the NIST Cybersecurity Standards provide a checklist of what all organization should do? No. The framework provides guidance that should be customized by different organizations to best suit their unique risks, situations, and needs. Organizations have different risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and risk tolerance. They will also differ in how they implement the practices in the framework. It should not be implemented as an un-customized checklist or take a one-size-fits-all approach How does my firewall management help with NIST Standards and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework? NIST Special Publication 800-41 establishes guidelines for firewalls and firewall policies, which govern standards and best practices for firewall policy management. According to the guidelines, an organization’s firewall policies should be based on a comprehensive risk-assessment. Firewall policies should be based on blocking all inbound and outbound traffic (“Default Deny”), with exceptions made for desired traffic. Policies should consider the source and destination of the traffic, in addition to the content. Many types of IPv4 traffic, such as those with invalid or private addresses, should be blocked by default. Organizations also should have policies for handling incoming and outgoing IPv6 traffic. Organizations should also determine which applications may send traffic into and out of its network and make firewall policies to block traffic for other applications. According to the guidelines (5.2.2), “if multiple firewalls need to have the same rules or a common subset of rules, those rules should be synchronized across the firewalls. This is usually done in a vendor-specific fashion.” AlgoSec provides out-of-the-box regulatory compliance reports for NIST SP 800-41. What about NIST SP 800-53? NIST SP 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, relates to systems, including firewalls, that monitor and control at the external boundaries of the network and systems that connect to parts of the network. It provides extensive standards for firewall management. AlgoSec provides out-of-the-box regulatory compliance reports for NIST SP 800-53. Do NIST standards also relate to FISMA compliance? How AlgoSec Helps with NIST Standards? FISMA sets out guidelines for managing information security that must be followed for all information systems used or operated by a U.S. federal government agency in the executive or legislative branches, or by a contractor or other organization on behalf of a federal agency in those branches. By following NIST Cybersecurity Guidelines and NIST’s guidelines for firewalls and firewall policies, organizations get closer to FISMA compliance. AlgoSec helps identify traffic flows and associate it with the relevant business applications, and design firewall policies that work across your hybrid network, all with zero-touch automation to reduce the chances of manual misconfigurations. AlgoSec also helps manage and synchronize rules across the multi-vendor estate, so there is holistic and unified management across a network made up of multiple vendors. By using AlgoSec, organizations can be sure that their security management practices follow best practices such as NIST standards. AlgoSec automatically generates pre-populated, audit-ready compliance reports for leading industry regulations, including NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-41, SOX, GLBA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001— which helps reduce audit preparation efforts and costs. AlgoSec also uncovers gaps in organization’s compliance posture and proactively checks every change for compliance violations. AlgoSec also provides daily audit and compliance reporting across the entire heterogeneous network estate. What are some common regulations that customers must be compliance with?

- Finance | AlgoSec
Algosec helps financial institutions automate security policies, reduce risks, ensure compliance, and maintain seamless network operations. Finance Schedule a demo Watch a video Do you struggle with Financial institutions are dealing with the triple challenge of digital transformation, cyber security and regulations. They are constantly seeking to better serve their customers and establish a competitive edge through new technology innovations. But all too often, they fall behind on delivering these digital initiatives into production. Why does this happen? Network security operations teams are hampered by manual, slow and error-prone security change-management processes and the ever-increasing demands of industry regulations. Often requiring days, or even weeks, to process a single change across their complex network environment, security teams are deluged with hundreds of changes each month, hindering time-to-market. Security teams fight hard to create and maintain a clean and optimized network security policy that reduces the attack surface. But the frequent errors that arise from manual processes put the institution at cyber risk, opening security gaps that attract unwanted elements. Errors also introduce regulation-compliance gaps.

- What is firewall configuration and how does it work? | AlgoSec
Proper firewall configuration is essential for a secure network Explore how to overcome challenges and learn tips for effective firewall configuration Firewall configuration: What is it? How does it work? Firewalls can greatly increase the security of enterprise networks, and enable organizations to protect their assets and data from malicious actors. But for this, proper firewall configuration is essential. Firewall configuration involves configuring domain names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and completing several other actions to keep firewalls secure. Firewall policy configuration is based on network types called “profiles” that can be set up with security rules to prevent cyber attacks. Schedule a demo Watch a video Firewall configuration challenges Configuring firewalls can raise many challenges Finding the right firewall It can be overwhelming to decide between a hardware or software firewall, so make sure you first determine your business needs and network configuration. Software firewalls can protect individual machines against harmful traffic; hardware firewalls are suitable for protecting enterprise networks. Broad firewall policy configurations During firewall setup, broad approvals policies that allow traffic from any source to any destination can expose the network to several security risks. It’s safer to implement narrow permissions from the start by following the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP). These firewall rule configurations can be widened later as required. Non-standard authentication With non-standard authentication methods, your firewall could accept weaker passwords or place less stringent limits on the number of login attempts allowed. This increases the risk of cybersecurity breaches. For safety, use only standard authentication methods. Open ports and risky management services Cybercriminals leverage open firewall ports and dynamic routing protocols to penetrate and exploit enterprise networks. Disable open ports at the time of firewall configuration. Other open ports should be adequately protected. Inadequate firewall monitoring If firewalls are not monitored, you may miss signs of unusual traffic that could indicate the presence of cyber attackers. Always monitor and log outputs from security devices so you will be alerted if you’re under attack. If an attacker does break through, alerts reduce the time to response. Guest or public networks: Use this profile when the system is connected to a public network. It’s best to set restrictive access because the other systems on the network could be potentially harmful. Private networks: Use this profile when connected to a network in workgroup mode. Set access to medium levels since the other systems can be mostly trusted. Domain networks: This profile is used when networks are connected to an Active Directory (AD) domain. A group policy controls the firewall settings. What are the network profiles for firewall configuration? A typical enterprise-level network is segregated into multiple security zones or “rings”: Ring 1: The Internet Edge Ring 2: The Backbone Edge Ring 3: The Asset Network Edge Ring 4: Local Host Security These zones are a logical way to group the firewall’s physical and virtual interfaces, and control traffic. Traffic can flow freely within a zone, but not between different zones until you define and allow it within the firewall policy configuration. In general, more zones means a more secure network What is the role of security zones in firewall settings? Yes, you can create a filter with a list of words, phrases and variations to be blocked. Configure your firewall settings to “sniff” each packet of traffic for an exact match of this text. Can I configure my firewall to block specific words or phrases? For each network profile, a firewall displays status information like: Profile currently in use Firewall state (On or Off) Incoming connections and current policy Active networks Notification state What information does a firewall display for each network profile? You can set firewall filters for all these protocols: Internet Protocol (IP) to deliver information over the Internet Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to break apart and reconstruct information over the Internet HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for web pages User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for information that requires no user response File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload/download files Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) for sending text-based information via email Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect system information from a remote computer Telnet to perform commands on a remote computer What are the protocols you can set firewall filters for? Here’s a 6-step secure firewall setup process: Secure the firewall Update with the latest firmware Replace default passwords with strong, unique passwords Avoid using shared user accounts Disable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or configure it securely Restrict incoming/outgoing traffic for TCP Create firewall zones Group assets into zones based on functions and risk levels Set up the IP address structure to assign zones to firewall interfaces Configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) Make them specific to the source and destination port numbers and IP addresses Create a “deny all” rule to filter out unapproved traffic Create an ACL (inbound/outbound) for each interface and sub-interface Disable admin interfaces from public access Disable unencrypted firewall management protocols Configure firewall logging Critical if PCI DSS compliance is a requirement Disable extra/unused services Test the firewall configuration Ensure the correct traffic is being blocked Perform penetration testing and vulnerability scanning Securely back up the configuration After you complete the firewall setup, manage and monitor it continuously to ensure that it functions as intended What are the firewall configuration steps?

Firewall configuration: What is it? How does it work? Firewalls can greatly increase the security of enterprise networks, and enable organizations to protect their assets and data from malicious actors. But for this, proper firewall configuration is essential. Firewall configuration involves configuring domain names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and completing several other actions to keep firewalls secure. Firewall policy configuration is based on network types called “profiles” that can be set up with security rules to prevent cyber attacks. Schedule a demo Watch a video Firewall configuration challenges Configuring firewalls can raise many challenges Finding the right firewall It can be overwhelming to decide between a hardware or software firewall, so make sure you first determine your business needs and network configuration. Software firewalls can protect individual machines against harmful traffic; hardware firewalls are suitable for protecting enterprise networks. Broad firewall policy configurations During firewall setup, broad approvals policies that allow traffic from any source to any destination can expose the network to several security risks. It’s safer to implement narrow permissions from the start by following the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP). These firewall rule configurations can be widened later as required. Non-standard authentication With non-standard authentication methods, your firewall could accept weaker passwords or place less stringent limits on the number of login attempts allowed. This increases the risk of cybersecurity breaches. For safety, use only standard authentication methods. Open ports and risky management services Cybercriminals leverage open firewall ports and dynamic routing protocols to penetrate and exploit enterprise networks. Disable open ports at the time of firewall configuration. Other open ports should be adequately protected. Inadequate firewall monitoring If firewalls are not monitored, you may miss signs of unusual traffic that could indicate the presence of cyber attackers. Always monitor and log outputs from security devices so you will be alerted if you’re under attack. If an attacker does break through, alerts reduce the time to response. Guest or public networks: Use this profile when the system is connected to a public network. It’s best to set restrictive access because the other systems on the network could be potentially harmful. Private networks: Use this profile when connected to a network in workgroup mode. Set access to medium levels since the other systems can be mostly trusted. Domain networks: This profile is used when networks are connected to an Active Directory (AD) domain. A group policy controls the firewall settings. What are the network profiles for firewall configuration? A typical enterprise-level network is segregated into multiple security zones or “rings”: Ring 1: The Internet Edge Ring 2: The Backbone Edge Ring 3: The Asset Network Edge Ring 4: Local Host Security These zones are a logical way to group the firewall’s physical and virtual interfaces, and control traffic. Traffic can flow freely within a zone, but not between different zones until you define and allow it within the firewall policy configuration. In general, more zones means a more secure network What is the role of security zones in firewall settings? Yes, you can create a filter with a list of words, phrases and variations to be blocked. Configure your firewall settings to “sniff” each packet of traffic for an exact match of this text. Can I configure my firewall to block specific words or phrases? For each network profile, a firewall displays status information like: Profile currently in use Firewall state (On or Off) Incoming connections and current policy Active networks Notification state What information does a firewall display for each network profile? You can set firewall filters for all these protocols: Internet Protocol (IP) to deliver information over the Internet Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to break apart and reconstruct information over the Internet HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for web pages User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for information that requires no user response File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload/download files Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) for sending text-based information via email Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect system information from a remote computer Telnet to perform commands on a remote computer What are the protocols you can set firewall filters for? Here’s a 6-step secure firewall setup process: Secure the firewall Update with the latest firmware Replace default passwords with strong, unique passwords Avoid using shared user accounts Disable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or configure it securely Restrict incoming/outgoing traffic for TCP Create firewall zones Group assets into zones based on functions and risk levels Set up the IP address structure to assign zones to firewall interfaces Configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) Make them specific to the source and destination port numbers and IP addresses Create a “deny all” rule to filter out unapproved traffic Create an ACL (inbound/outbound) for each interface and sub-interface Disable admin interfaces from public access Disable unencrypted firewall management protocols Configure firewall logging Critical if PCI DSS compliance is a requirement Disable extra/unused services Test the firewall configuration Ensure the correct traffic is being blocked Perform penetration testing and vulnerability scanning Securely back up the configuration After you complete the firewall setup, manage and monitor it continuously to ensure that it functions as intended What are the firewall configuration steps?

- Zero Trust Security | AlgoSec
What Is Zero Trust? Schedule a demo Watch a video With many resources and applications moving to the cloud, organizations are facing an ongoing challenge of how to keep their data safe. Data that was once easily secured within the walls of a data center becomes complex to manage in a multi-cloud environment. So how can you know who or what you can trust? One of the most effective cybersecurity measures, with increasing adoption rates year after year, is to trust nothing, or in other words, have zero trust. Instead, authenticate and authorize everything. Assume that everything could be a threat and require every service and person trying to connect to your environment to verify their identity. This is the foundation of zero trust security which is especially valuable in cloud environments, where data and workloads are highly distributed. Introduction to Zero Trust Zero trust security is a cybersecurity approach that assumes no one and nothing can be trusted. The guiding principle of zero trust is "Never Trust, Always Verify." This means that all access requests are authenticated, authorized, and encrypted—regardless of where they come from. Even after verification, access is granted only on a need-to-know basis, following the principle of least privilege. Verification is an ongoing process, and passing it once does not mean indefinite trust. This helps protect organizations from a wide range of threats, including insider threats, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and supply chain attacks. For many years, the perimeter-based security model was the standard approach to cybersecurity for organizations. The idea behind this model was to protect everything inside an organization's network by building a strong perimeter around it, usually with firewalls and other security technologies. The perimeter-based model worked well for quite a long time because it was easy to set up and manage. However, as organizations increasingly move to cloud, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, these same solutions are no longer sufficient. One of the biggest challenges with the perimeter-based model is that it assumes everything inside the perimeter is trustworthy. This is no longer a safe assumption. How Does This Work in the Cloud? Imagine a large bank with a traditional perimeter-based security model. All of the bank's internal systems are protected by a firewall, and only authorized users can access them from the outside. However, if an attacker breaches the firewall and gains access to the internal network, they can freely move around, steal data, or launch attacks. In cloud environments, the traditional perimeter security model breaks down because the infrastructure is highly distributed. Data moves between multiple cloud providers, users access resources from anywhere, and the infrastructure is not contained within a single network. Cloud-based zero trust security addresses these challenges by implementing several strategies: Microsegmentation: In cloud environments, the bank's internal systems would be segmented into smaller networks, each with its own set of security controls. This approach, known as microsegmentation , minimizes the blast radius of any potential cyberattack, limiting the impact to a smaller portion of the network if a breach occurs. Each segment requires individual authentication and authorization, minimizing the risk of lateral movement across cloud resources. Identity and Access Management (IAM): Identity and access management (IAM) is taken seriously by cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud as a way to enforce zero trust. This involves applying strong authentication protocols (OAuth, SAML, etc.) and implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that only verified users access cloud services. Device Posture Verification: Zero trust also evaluates the "posture" of devices in the cloud. For example, before permitting the user in, it checks to see if their device meets security standards by looking for things like up-to-date antivirus software, security patches, etc. Dynamic Access Controls: Traditional on-premises systems might rely on fixed access control lists (ACLs), but in cloud environments, zero trust enables dynamic access. Based on real-time context—such as geographic location, time of day, or the sensitivity of the data—access policies can be adapted on the fly to mitigate risks. Finally, a successful zero trust security strategy is an ongoing process where you must continuously evaluate users and assets on the network. Among other aspects mentioned above you must implement measures to detect and respond to breaches. This means implementing continuous data monitoring and validation tools to provide visibility and the ability to respond to threats in real-time. By continuously verifying trust and securing each layer, zero trust makes sure that organizations can protect sensitive cloud data, no matter where it resides or who accesses it. The Benefits of Zero Trust Security The zero trust approach focuses on constructing multiple security layers to protect data, making sure that even if intruders break through the network perimeter, their freedom is severely restricted. But it does more than that; Key advantages of implementing zero trust include: Stronger Defense: It improves defenses in both on premises and cloud infrastructures by ensuring that every interaction between users, devices, and services are authenticated and encrypted. That’s why it’s ideal for keeping organizations with remote teams safe. Controlled Access: It provides a unified way to apply fine-grained access controls across all cloud platforms, and therefore it reduces the likelihood of sensitive information being leaked. It ensures that only the right people have access at the right time. Restricted Lateral Movement: Zero trust limits how far an intruder can move inside the network if they gain access. Better Visibility: It provides a clear view of every user's activity across the entire infrastructure. Better Organizational Agility: Zero trust enables your organization to respond quickly to changing needs. Zero Trust Security Challenges Zero trust security provides a strong approach to cybersecurity, but putting it into action brings its own challenges. For example, adopting a zero trust model usually means major changes to the way networks are set up and how security policies are enforced. This process can be hard to understand and takes a great deal of time and money, especially for companies that still use old systems. Also, the ongoing verification and authentication processes, which form the core of zero trust, can sometimes raise worries about how users experience the system. Finding the sweet spot between security and ease of use is key to making sure these steps don't slow down productivity. Many organizations use a mix of new and old systems, and adding zero trust measures to existing setups that weren’t designed with cloud security in mind can cause compatibility issues, and take time and money to set up correctly. Also, putting into action and keeping up a zero trust security model in the cloud needs specific skills. Organizations might have to spend money on training employees or bring in cybersecurity experts with expertise in zero trust and cloud-native security principles. Zero Trust Best Practices Here are some of the best practices an organization can follow for a successful zero trust implementation: Ensure Visibility: Make sure you can see all devices and resources in your network. You can't keep safe what you don't know is there. For effective security, you need to monitor all resources and access points. Define Policies: Develop fine-grained policy controls that specify who can access what resources under what conditions. These controls should be specific, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive information or systems. Automate: Automate processes to enforce policies and quickly adapt to any deviations from standard procedures. Automation helps maintain consistency and reduces the risk of human error in policy implementation. Continuously monitor and evaluate: Regularly monitor your network for anomalies or potential threats, and frequently assess your security posture to adapt to new challenges and maintain robust protection. When companies put these good habits into action, they can do a better job of protecting their systems. This also helps them keep their defenses strong and able to bounce back from attacks.
