Business-Driven Security Management
Managing your network security policy across on-premise firewalls and cloud security controls is a delicate balancing act. On the one hand you need to reduce risk by minimizing the attack surface, on the other hand you must enable productivity by provisioning connectivity for your critical business applications. However, network security policy management processes have always been complex, time-consuming, and riddled with errors. They don’t have to be. On premise and in the cloud, AlgoSec simplifies and automates network security policy management to make your enterprise more agile, more secure and more compliant – all the time. AlgoSec supports all the leading brands of traditional and next generation firewalls and cloud security controls, as well as routers, load balancers and web proxies, to deliver unified security policy management across any heterogeneous cloud, SDN or on-premise enterprise network. AlgoSec also integrates with the leading IT service management, SIEM, identity management and orchestration systems, as well as vulnerability scanners.

Application Discovery and Connectivity Management
AlgoSec BusinessFlow makes it easy to discover, provision, maintain and securely decommission network connectivity for your critical business applications. By automatically discovering and mapping application connectivity requirements to the underlying network infrastructure, BusinessFlow accelerates business application delivery, minimizes outages and enforces security and compliance across virtual, cloud and physical networks.
• Visualize and instantly provision connectivity for business applications
• Assess the impact of network changes on application availability to minimize outages
• Easily migrate application connectivity to cloud environments
• View risk and vulnerabilities from the business application perspective
• Securely remove network access for decommissioned applications
• Foster collaboration across application delivery and network security teams to support DevSecOps initiatives
Automatically Discover and Map Application Connectivity Flows
BusinessFlow automatically discovers and maps your enterprise applications and services and their connectivity flows – without requiring any prior knowledge or manual configuration by security, networking or applications experts. Through this map, you can monitor application connectivity, see and edit flows and troubleshoot connectivity issues.
Process Application Changes Quickly and Accurately
With BusinessFlow, application owners can request connectivity in non-networking terms and BusinessFlow then automatically computes the necessary changes to the underlying firewall and access rules, and generates the relevant change requests in AlgoSec FireFlow.
Assess the Impact of Network Changes on Application Availability and Avoid Downtime
Through BusinessFlow you can immediately see which business applications and underlying connectivity flows will be impacted by firewall rule changes or planned server/device downtime.
Simplify Large-Scale Server Migration Projects
Through its built-in workflows, BusinessFlow automatically identifies all the applications that will be affected by a planned migration or decommissioning project. It then generates the necessary change requests to the underlying network traffic flows, all while ensuring the integrity of the security policy and network access.
Support Business Application Lifecycle and DevOps Connectivity Management
To enable DevOps and speed up the secure deployment of business applications into production, AlgoSec manages the application connectivity migration process from development through to production. As part of this process, AlgoSec maps, clones and adjusts connectivity for each environment in the application lifecycle, as well as provides advanced monitoring and impact analysis for each stage in the migration process.
Safely Decommission Application Connectivity to Tighten Your Security Policy
Through BusinessFlow’s unique analysis it is easy to identify network access that can be safely removed from decommissioned applications, as well as rules that should not be removed because they are used by other applications.
Understand Risk from the Business Perspective
BusinessFlow integrates with leading vulnerability scanners to help you prioritize your risk based on what your business values most – the applications that power it.
Security Policy Change Automation
AlgoSec FireFlow helps you process security policy changes in a fraction of the time, so you can respond to business requirements with the agility they demand. FireFlow automates the entire security policy change process — from design and submission to proactive risk analysis, implementation, validation and auditing. Its intelligent automated workflows eliminate guesswork and help you save time, avoid manual errors and reduce risk.
• Eliminate mistakes and rework, and improve accountability for change requests
• Proactively assess the impact of network changes to ensure security and continuous compliance
• Automate rule recertification processes
• Enhance your existing change management system with intelligent network and security automation
• Enforce compliance, and automatically document the entire change management lifecycle
Zero-Touch Security Policy Change Management
Users can set their change management workflow to run automatically from planning through to resolution, unless an exception or pre-defined event occurs – thereby significantly speeding up the security policy change management process while maintaining control and ensuring accuracy throughout the process.
Intelligently Design Firewall Rules to Reduce Clutter and Complexity
FireFlow automatically discovers all devices and rules which are impacted by a change request. It then intelligently designs or updates any necessary firewall rules, utilizing existing rules and objects whenever possible to reduce policy clutter and complexity.
In addition, FireFlow instantly identifies and closes unnecessary (“already works”) change requests, which helps prevent up to 30% of unnecessary changes.
Proactively Analyze Change Requests to Ensure Compliance and Mitigate Risk
FireFlow automatically analyzes every proposed change – before it is implemented – to identify risks and ensure compliance with regulatory and corporate standards.
FireFlow leverages the broadest risk knowledge base which includes industry best practices, regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA and SOX, as well as corporate-defined policies.
Save Time and Avoid Manual Errors with Automatic Policy Push
FireFlow can automatically implement policy changes directly on a device. This zero-touch process saves time and prevents manual errors.
Prevent Unauthorized, Rogue Changes
FireFlow automatically validates the successful implementation of change requests to prevent premature closing of tickets. Additionally FireFlow correlates change requests with actual changes made to detect unauthorized changes and ensure that changes are implemented exactly as specified.
Track and Audit the Entire Change Lifecycle
FireFlow tracks every step of the change workflow, providing detailed reports that measure accountability and SLAs, and simplify auditing and compliance processes.
Integrate with Existing IT Service Management (ITSM) Solutions
FireFlow seamlessly integrates with IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions, such as ServiceNow, BMC Remedy and HP so you can continue to open change requests within your existing systems. FireFlow complements these systems with intelligent automation that enables you to process firewall changes more quickly and accurately.
