Algosec: The business-driven security management

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Algosec Firewall Analyzer provides complete visibility for network security policy management. We do not need to go to different firewalls and access those to make any changes or configure the policy. Using AlgoSec AFA, we can see where the particular traffic is blocked and configure the policies accordingly from a single management point.

Pros

  • Complete network policy visibility.
  • Firewalls rule optimization.
  • Automatically generate the reports for all leading industry regulations.

Cons

  • AlgoSec need to work on their support in India.
  • Insufficient documentation.
  • It should support other platforms like GCP, Alibaba, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

Algosec is best suited for those organizations that have a large number of firewalls from different vendors. In such a scenario, if you want to allow or deny something so you need to go on and login on to each firewall and make the changes. But with AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer, all the policies can be created from a single pane of management. If some traffic is getting blocked, even you can simulate the query from AFA to see where it's getting blocked. And policy creation can be automated.

Pros

  • Firewall rule optimization
  • Regulatory and baseline compliance analysis/mapping
  • Policy tuning
