Cisco ACI & Hybrid Networks - Breaking Down Silos with Central Policy Management

As your network extends into hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including software-defined networks such as Cisco ACI, managing security policies within your hybrid estate becomes more and more complex. Because each part of your network estate is managed in its own silo, it’s tough to get a full view of your entire network. Making changes across your entire network is a chore and validating your entire network’s security is virtually impossible. Learn how to unify, consolidate, and automate your entire network security policy management including both within the Cisco ACI fabric and elements outside the fabric. In this session Omer Ganot, AlgoSec’s Product Manager, will discuss how to: Get full visibility of your entire hybrid network estate, including items within the Cisco ACI security environment, as well as outside it. Unify, consolidate, and automate your network security policy management, including elements within and outside of the Cisco ACI fabric. Proactively assess risk throughout your entire network, including Cisco ACI contracts, and recommend the necessary changes to eliminate misconfigurations and compliance violations

In today’s fast-paced world, supporting an ever-growing number of applications across the data center poses significant security management challenges. Managing policies across physical and virtual networks and multivendor security devices requires a delicate balance between ensuring security, reducing risk and provisioning connectivity for critical business applications to increase productivity. Cisco ACI reduces TCO, automates IT tasks, and accelerates data center application deployments, using a business-relevant software defined networking (SDN) policy model. Through a seamless integration, AlgoSec extends Cisco ACI’s security policy-based automation to all security devices across the enterprise network, both inside and outside the data center. Join Ranga Rao, Director of Solutions Engineering at Cisco, and Anner Kushnir, VP of Technology at AlgoSec on Wednesday, February 1, at 12pm ET/9am PT for a technical webinar where they will discuss how to leverage the integrated Cisco ACI-AlgoSec solution to process and apply security policy changes quickly, assess and reduce risk, ensure continuous compliance, and maintain a strong security posture across your entire network estate. Attend this must-see webinar and learn how to: - Get visibility into the Cisco ACI security environment and extend Cisco ACI policy-based automation across the enterprise network - Proactively assess risk for the Cisco ACI fabric and recommend changes to eliminate misconfigurations and compliance violations - Automate the configuration of security devices on the ACI fabric - Generate audit-ready regulatory compliance reports for the entire Cisco ACI fabric

In this demo you’ll can learn about the AlgoSec integration with ACI. Learn how the integration can provide joint customers with visibility, risk analysis and regulatory compliance of the ACI environment. Additionally, learn how to make policy changes to allow connectivity within the ACI

The AlgoSec Connectivity and Compliance App provides insights into your network and security posture, including a current snapshot of risk and compliance across your ACI fabric. Key capabilities of the App include: - Traffic assessment to determine if specific traffic is traversing the network or if its blocked - including visibility into security devices and their status across the traffic route - The ability to automatically update the firewall policy in the event that connectivity is blocked erroneously - Instant risk analysis for Cisco ACI contracts alongside firewall security policies - A detailed PCI compliance report for your Cisco ACI fabric, that’s ready for auditors

With the integration of AlgoSec into the Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) architecture, customers can monitor security policy changes across their Cisco ACI system, obtain risk and compliance context for both managed and unmanaged security devices, and extend automation across their entire security environment.
