AlgoSec’s firewall policy management solution enable you to significantly increase visibility across your network environments: on-premise, SDN, public clouds, hybrid and multi-cloud by managing firewall rules.
Most of the infrastructures are hidden, when crossing into the public cloud domain, such as storage, compute and network. This often causes restrictions when it comes to visibility tools and procedures. But AlgoSec make it a lot easier to manage and implement standard workload performance by understanding your firewall rules and network topology to discover traffic flows.
Firewall policy management tools allow you to track and monitor the flow of applications and important services over all areas of the network and provide key insights into network bandwidth usage. This can also work out historical trends for proactively identifying security issues and capacity planning. An effective monitoring of network flows provides you confidence knowing that your network is secure.
Cluttered firewall rules and misconfigurations affect the firewall performance, forcing organizations to invest in costly hardware upgrades to counteract the degradation in performance. Optimize and clean up cluttered policies with actionable recommendations. Consolidate similar firewall rules, discover and remove unused firewall rules and objects, as well as shadowed, duplicate and expired rules - effectively increase existing hardware lifespan.
It is essential to manage firewall rules that maintain security cloud compliance posture and establish uniform firewall rules across complex clouds and hybrid environments.
Managing various cloud security management consoles, each with its own unique language and GUI, can be a great hassle. With AlgoSec, handling multi-cloud platforms has become a lot easier, providing users with complete control over their cloud services using a single, unified console.
Consistency is the crucial design principle behind cloud security solutions. Imposing the cloud network security policy consistently is the defining assumption for an effective firewall policy management platform.
Enabling unused firewall rules to be included in a policy goes against the central principle and may pose a risk to the organization. The AlgoSec firewall management solution makes it easy to find and identify unused rules within your firewall policy.
Locating hidden rules represent a remarkable opportunity to clean up or manage a firewall policy because it can improve both the performance of the firewall and the implementation of the firewall administrators accountable for managing the firewall policy.
Firewall policy search is based on the source and destination interfaces. The matching security policy will indicate which actions to apply to the network traffic which includes logging and security scanning.
Analyze security by analyzing firewall policies, firewall rules, firewall traffic logs and firewall change configurations. Detailed analysis of the security logs offers critical network vital intelligence about security breaches and attempted attacks like virus, trojans, and denial of service among others.
A potential breach in security is made for every access request that is granted. The perfect way to prevent unauthorized access is to identify and analyze risk areas that are vulnerable. The integrated risk analysis provides real time information on vulnerabilities and risks to the network associated to your change configurations and security infrastructure.
Identify and evaluate the implications of each available access path across the whole infrastructure to make sure proper implementation and asset protection. You can trace the path within the network to locate impacted device.
A comprehensive service risk analysis is essential to tackle security gaps proactively instead of waiting for a security threat to take place before responding to it.
With traffic flow analysis, you can monitor traffic within a specific firewall rule. You do not need to allow all traffic to traverse in all directions but instead, you can monitor it through the pragmatic behaviors on the network and enable network firewall administrators to recognize which firewall rules they can create and implement to allow only the necessary access.
Ensure that the firewall rule set and configuration are in line with the business and the organization’s firewall compliance requirements.
Monitor firewall change configurations in the set of firewall rules including resets to the current firewall settings.
Instead of using manual firewall rule recertification, this app-centric approach to firewall recertification brings in a newer, more efficient and automated way of recertifying firewall rules.
Ensure that the firewall rule set and configuration are in line with the business and the organization’s firewall compliance requirements.
Allow access to authorized users, sites or networks.
