Automation has transformed firewall changes and has reduced audit effort and breach risk

The best features AlgoSec offers include automation of firewall rule changes, centralized security policy management, and improved compliance and audit readiness. AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to see faster change management, reduced audit costs, and reduced breach risk. I can share specific metrics indicating that through OpEx savings, we have been able to reduce firewall rule analysis and rule change handling time by 60 to 90 percent. This has led to fewer manual tasks and a smaller workload on our network and security teams. We have seen a return on investment with reduced audit costs, less time spent preparing evidence manually, and reduced breach risk. I would like to add that on centralized security policy management, it reduces complexity in multi-vendor environments.

Good support, nice interface, and simple to upgrade

PDF format is not available for Alert Composer. There are file attachment or body content output options. The other issue is that the range object can be displayed in the rule viewer section. If we know the range object, we provide imaging, but if we do not know the range object, there is no imaging. It also allows adding range object rules when performing server cloning. In general, however, we have made successful progress since the POC process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Breaking down a rule to specify used objects within groups and protocols has proven invaluable for us because we are able to narrow exposure to potential threats, and more generally, areas in which we are exposed."

"With the help of advanced NSPM tools, network administrators and security managers can gain a deeper understanding of their network devices and business applications."

"With AlgoSec, I believe we save up to 80% of the time involved in security change management processes when using fire flow, compared to manual methods."

"Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization."

"We see the value of BusinessFlow for organisations involved in digital transformation projects migrating to public/private/hybrid cloud models."

"We have all of the information about the firewall devices that we have at risk, either because there is a firewall policy with some open protocol that can give us security problems later, or because long-unused rules present a security hole."

"We are in the process of implementing FireFlow in our daily operation, which will make our lives even easier. The idea is to search the Firewall Analyzer for the equipment between the source and destination, and then automatically jump off to FireFlow and open a ticket. This will then automatically implement what is needed without the need to go into the Firewall itself. This will save us a lot of time and will help us to onboard junior engineers very quickly, getting them up to speed on our network and daily operation in record time."

"Security ratings and security rules analysis are valuable features."

More AlgoSec pros

"Version upgrades can be done quickly."

"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."

Cons

"Initially, we found this as a complex deployment."

"We don't dare push the new policy automatically, We don't have confidence in this feature."

"We would like to see them utilize the cloud to help with performance improvement, and with various processes needed on a daily basis."

"The documentation could be better."

"We are still waiting to implement FireFlow, and getting it into place will hopefully speed up our implementation time and help with policy standardization."

"The risky rules reporting should have more information available in the risky rules report - especially when you export the data into a .CSV format. .CSV format being a text-based visualization, some information and formatting cause the reports to lose meaning and only become just another character in the file since it cannot port over some properties (like severity represented by colors)."

"I would like to be able to see what objects have the same IP, but different names in different firewalls."

"It seems that AlgoSec created a VSYS (Virtual system) for each virtual router name, even though our firewall has only a single VSYS."

More AlgoSec cons

"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."

"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the tool can be recovered with AlgoSec automations."

"The pricing for this solution seems to be reasonable for the functionality."

"It is fair."

"It has improved our performance in operations, projects, and security."

"Price is not my concern. If a tool does its job, it is not my concern to obtain a good price for it. If a tool is needed, we are going to buy it."

"AlgoSec is not much more expensive compared to other products available in the market."

"Cost is based on firewall. There are bundles, e.g., virtual firewalls might make the solution cheaper."

"It seems we have recovered our money on this appliance, so it is money well spent."

"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
