AlgoSec has announced the launch of its newest security management platform version, featuring advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
The platform provides an application-centric security approach and a clearer picture of risks and their impact.
The new release enables users to accurately identify the business applications running in their complex hybrid networks and to leverage intelligent change automation in streamlining security change processes, with the aim of improving security and agility.
“Saving countless hours through automation”
Eran Shiff, VP Product, AlgoSec commented: “Security professionals are overwhelmed with a barrage of alerts that provide no context between critical threats and minor issues.”
He added: “By mapping applications, security teams can understand their criticality, automate changes and prioritise alerts that truly matter, saving countless hours through automation.”
Research, complexities and AI
Gartner, an American technological research and consulting firm, has predicted that by 2027, 50% of critical enterprise applications will reside outside of public cloud locations.
The company claims that current networks are 100 times more complex than they were ten years ago, leading to the pace of deployment and development security teams are expected to work is 100 times faster.
AI-powered application enhances a security team’s ability to detect and respond to threats in real time.
An application-centric approach automates change management processes, identifies security risks and mitigates risks before they impact the network infrastructure.
“Proactive network visibility and risk mitigation”
Robert Eldridge, Security Solutions Director, Natilik commented: “In today’s evolving cyber landscape, it’s essential that we rapidly identify and prioritise threats as they occur.”
He added: “AlgoSec’s AI-powered platform helps us deliver proactive network visibility and risk mitigation to our clients, keeping them ahead of potential threats”.
Four essential pillars for securing hybrid infrastructures:
The four key pillars that are essential to AlgoSec’s platform update and securing hybrid infrastructures are:
● AI-driven application discovery – this feature is designed to automatically discover and identify the business applications that are running by correlating them to security changes that have been made.
● Intelligent and automated application connectivity change – new enhancements allow security professionals to directly adjust existing Microsoft Azure firewall rules for new application connections. There is also added support for application awareness in Check Point R80+ firewalls.
● Reduce risk exposure and minimise attack surface – new features focus on tightening security posture and minimising potential vulnerabilities. It streamlines Microsoft Azure Firewall rule management by identifying and recommending the removal of unused rules. It also reduces risk exposure by generating change management tickets to eliminate overly permissive rules. It is compliant with ASD-ISM regulations.
● Better visibility across complex hybrid networks – it can support visibility of network security devices including: NSX-T Gateway Firewall, Azure Load Balancer and Google Cloud map and traffic path (in early availability).
