Administrators and IT Managers spend sleepless nights worrying about Bandwidth monitoring, intrusion detection, virus attacks, denial of service attacks and the other million factors, which compromise the enterprises' network. Using a Firewall Analyzer helps not only to plan capacity, but also helps detect security compromises.

 

The AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer 5.5, released by Algosec, a reputed provider of firewall operations and security risk management solutions, has enhanced features like ActiveChange and Intelligent Policy Tuner.

 

Both the enhanced features are pretty significant. ActiveChange allows security administrators to disable unused rules in Check Point security gateways directly form the firewall analyzer.

 

Overall security is enhanced by the Intelligent Policy Tuner, which enables customers to identify excessively permissive rules and recommends how to tighten the policy by suggesting advanced fine tuning of security policy.

 

Entirely risk-free, the ActiveChange feature not only saves time, but eliminates errors associated with traditional manual change processes, thereby increasing the accuracy and efficiency of policy changes.

 

Other features that are incorporated with the Firewall Analyzer 5.5 are the Risk Editor Web GUI, which helps to meet the specific internal needs, policies and regulations of the customer. The NERC/CIP compliance reporting feature automates key compliance checks for firewall audits, thus facilitating the task for auditors.

 

The AFA Provider Edition provides a multi-domain management solution to manage multiple customer environments from a single AlgoSec system. This drastically reduces the need for extra hardware, costly set-ups and configuration and ongoing management.

 

Dr. Avishai Wool, CTO and co-founder of AlgoSec expounded the benefits that AlgoSec customers realized through the intelligent automation technology, evident in Firewall Analyzer 5.5 version. Touting the product, Wool spoke of the improved security and operational efficiency, and the reduced risk and costs to customers, who used the product.

 

The AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer 5.5 and AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer Provider Edition are both available now. 

 

AlgoSec's exclusive technology is optimized for enterprises, MSPs, auditors and consultants to quantifiably increase their operational effectiveness. AlgoSec also allows IT organizations to get more from their current infrastructures by extending the lifespan of existing security devices.
