AlgoSec Launches New App for Cisco ACI
February 2017 by Marc Jacob
Cisco’s annual IT and communications conference, AlgoSec, a provider of business-driven security policy management solutions, announced its new Connectivity and Compliance App for Cisco ACI, available on Cisco ACI App Center.
The new AlgoSec App assesses network connectivity, risk and compliance across the Cisco ACI fabric, directly from within the Cisco APIC user interface.
The AlgoSec for Cisco ACI App delivers key benefits including:
• Identifies blocked network traffic and provides visibility into the security devices and their status across the network traffic route.
• Updates the firewall policy in the event that network traffic is blocked erroneously.
• Provides instant risk analysis for Cisco ACI Fabric alongside firewall security policies.
• Delivers a detailed, audit-ready PCI compliance report for the Cisco ACI fabric.
The new App is an add-on to AlgoSec’s integrated solution for Cisco ACI, announced in June 2016. Cisco ACI reduces TCO, automates IT tasks, and accelerates data center application deployments, using a business-relevant SDN policy model. Through a transparent integration, AlgoSec complements the Cisco ACI architecture by extending and enhancing its policy-based automation to all security devices across the enterprise network, both inside and outside the data center to help customers maintain a strong security posture across their organizations. With AlgoSec’s visibility and unified security policy management capabilities, customers can now automatically process and apply security policy changes quickly, assess and reduce risk, help ensure compliance with all the leading industry regulations.
