July 2018 by Marc Jacob
AlgoSec released the
AlgoSec Security Management Solution version 2018.1. In this latest version, AlgoSec
focusses on delivering new automation capabilities that enable end-to-end,
zero-touch security policy change management for cloud security controls and
Software-Defined Networks (SDN) to provide full visibility and automation across the
entire hybrid environment.
End-to-End Security Policy Change Automation for Cloud Security Controls
In addition to existing support for a wide range of on-premise security devices, and
AWS Security Groups, AlgoSec 2018.1 now provides full end-to-end automaton of
security policy change management processes for Microsoft Azure and Cisco ACI - from
planning, through risk and compliance checks, to deployment directly onto the device
– with zero touch. New capabilities in AlgoSec 2018.1 include:
* Microsoft Azure: AlgoSec 2018.1 provides the visibility and ability to
simulate the routing topology inside the cloud, and the ability to automatically
deploy new rules directly onto Microsoft Azure Security Groups, as well as remove
unnecessary rules.
* Cisco ACI: With AlgoSec 2018.1, users can create new contracts and filters
directly on Cisco APIC.
End-to-End Security Policy Change Automation for Check Point R80
AlgoSec 2018.1 provides full end-to-end automation of security policy changes,
including adding and modifying rules, onto Check Point R80 devices. Additionally,
with AlgoSec 2018.1 users can automatically remove or disable rules, to support
security policy cleanup and optimization.
Out-of-the-Box Support for GDPR: Version 2018.1 includes out-of-the-box support for
the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). AlgoSec’s GDPR support enables
users to:
* Generate a GDPR compliance report for all applicable network security
devices, at the click of a button.
* Get an up-to-date accurate snapshot of the organization’s compliance status.
* Immediately pinpoint gaps in compliance, and get actionable
recommendations for remediation.
* Proactively assess GDPR risk and compliance for every firewall rule
change, to help ensure continuous compliance.
The AlgoSec Security Management Solution version 2018.1 is generally available.
