Cisco Firepower Migration | Joint Cisco & AlgoSec Webinar

Yonatan Klein
Director of Product Management
Doug Hurd
Security Technical Alliances

Many enterprises are moving to Cisco’s next generation firewall, Firepower, which offers unique capabilities – including Next Gen IPS powered by Snort and Advanced Malware Protection (AMP). However, migrating current security policy to Cisco Firepower is often complex, time-consuming and prone to errors. A single mistake could, potentially, cause outages, compliance violations and security gaps.

In this webinar Doug Hurd, Security Technical Alliances at Cisco and Yonatan Klein, Director of Product Management at AlgoSec, will explore the benefits of Cisco Firepower, how to simplify and accelerate the migration process with AlgoSec, the challenges associated with managing the holistic network, and how AlgoSec can help manage security policies across your disperse network.

Cisco partners and customers get even easier access to integrated, application-centric security management both within and outside their ACI data centers AlgoSec and Cisco share the same business-driven, application-centric security management philosophy:  we both focus on enabling automation and supporting agile application delivery for enterprises.  We have been a Cisco technology partner for many years, and have developed integrated solutions that extend Cisco ACI’s policy-based automation across all enterprise networks, both inside and outside of virtualized data centers.  security management philosophy:  we both focus on enabling automation and supporting agile application delivery for enterprises.  We have been a Cisco technology partner for many years, and have developed integrated solutions that extend Cisco ACI’s policy-based automation across all enterprise networks, both inside and outside of virtualized data centers.  And we’re delighted to announce that we are taking this shared vision a stage further:  our solutions are now available on the Cisco Global Price List.  This means that members of Cisco’s own sales force as well as its reseller eco-system can now offer AlgoSec solutions to their customers through Cisco’s systems.  AlgoSec’s strong integrations with Cisco’s ACI, Firewalls, Tetration, ISE and SDA deliver powerful benefits to our mutual customers. Using AlgoSec, customers can fully automate security change management processes across their Cisco ACI environments – from planning, risk and compliance checks, to deployment directly onto security devices – with zero touch.  AlgoSec also extends ACI’s policy-based automation to all network security devices, both inside and outside the data center, enabling customers to maintain a consistently strong security posture across their entire network estate. Security teams can also automatically generate a full range of risk and compliance reports covering their organization’s entire network – saving them significant time and effort when it comes to audit preparation. AlgoSec’s close integration with the rich capabilities of Cisco’s Tetration Analytics platform enables customers to use our solution to build a physical and logical map of their entire network estate, including all security devices from multiple vendors.  Then, through the integration, network and security teams can discover and map application flows, automate security policy changes end-to-end, ensure compliance, and assess risk across their estates according to business needs and priorities.  Through our partnership with Cisco, mutual customers benefit from software-defined security across their hybrid network environment. AlgoSec Security Management Solution for ACI ensures continuous compliance and automates provisioning of security policies not just across the ACI fabric, but also across multi-vendor security devices connected to ACI, helping customers to build truly secure data centers. The solution is based on Cisco APIC and ASMS integration to delivers a powerful multi-tenant, policy-driven, application-centric model for network security. Why not find out more about how AlgoSec can harmonize the security management of your ACI deployment alongside the rest of your network, to deliver consistent security policy management and visibility across data centers and clouds?  Watch our video or download the Infographic for details.

Partner Solution Brief: AlgoSec and Cisco

Partner Solution Brief: AlgoSec and Cisco

AlgoSec manages network security policies throughout their lifecycle, from discovering application connectivity requirements through ongoing change management and proactive risk analysis, to secure decommissioning. Delivering complete visibility into firewalls and cloud security controls from a unified console, AlgoSec simplifies, automates and orchestrates security policy management for Cisco physical, virtual and cloud devices to accelerate application delivery while ensuring security and continuous compliance across the enterprise

Provision Application Connectivity

AlgoSec makes it easy to securely provision, maintain and decommission connectivity required by business applications. By automatically mapping application-connectivity requirements to the underlying network/cloud infrastructure, AlgoSec accelerates application delivery and minimizes outages while enforcing security and compliance across the hybrid data center/cloud environment. payroll

See and Understand Complex Network Security Policies

AlgoSec provides visibility and analysis of complex network security policies across virtual, cloud and physical environments to simplify security operations, including policy cleanup, troubleshooting, auditing and risk analysis. Security and operations teams can simply and automatically optimize the configuration of Cisco firewalls, routers and SDN solutions to ensure security and compliance.

Automate Security Policy Change

AlgoSec automates the security policy change management process and delivers hands-free policy push for Cisco Firepower and ASA firewalls, IOS routers, Layer-3 switches and Cisco ACI. By eliminating guesswork though intelligent change management workflows—from design and submission to proactive risk analysis, implementation, validation and auditing—AlgoSec helps operations and security teams save time, avoid manual errors and reduce risk.

Get the Most out of Your ACI Investment

AlgoSec’s uniform security policy management transcends legacy networks, cloud and WAN all the way to your ACI fabric, delivering full security visibility across the different estates that comprise your network. AlgoSec brings firewalls and the ACI fabric into a single-pane-of-glass for comprehensive management and automated workflow to execute and assess the impact of changes. AlgoSec enables zero-touch changes end to end by automatically creating contracts on ACI and updating security policies on firewalls in the data center and at its perimeter.

Micro-Segmentation and Policy Enforcement

AlgoSec leverages Cisco Tetration as well as other data sources and sensors to discover application flows by quickly learning how application use the network. AlgoSec automatically generates whitelist policies based on discovered connectivity, and pushes them to various security constructs (firewalls, ACI contracts) to enforce east-west filtering. AlgoSec also enhances security by ensuring consistent and continuous end-to-end implementation of micro-segmentation policy across the entire network.

Ease the Migration to Firepower

With the AlgoSec solution, you can easily migrate existing firewall rule-sets to Cisco Firepower. The solution maps and cleans the existing network security policy rule-set, automatically translates the rules to Firepower, and pushes them with zero-touch to Firepower devices (via FMC). As part of the migration process AlgoSec also performs what-if risk analysis and provides full documentation of changes. Supported Cisco Products and Services
