AlgoSec launches AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer 5.3

(Telecomworldwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) AlgoSec has released the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer 5.3 featuring the new AlgoSec Extension Framework and out-of-the-box support for eight more security devices, the provider of firewall operations and security risk management solutions announced on Tuesday.



The company said the AlgoSec Extension Framework enables its customers and partners to expand policy management capabilities to virtually any new security device without the need to perform separate coding procedures for integrations.

The new technology allows users to add support for new network devices through a simple configuration change, eliminating time-intensive coding processes. And through the company's open forums, new device configurations can be shared across the entire AlgoSec community, enabling reuse by vendors, channel partners and end-users.



The company has utilised this framework to add support for eight more network security devices including: Fortinet Fortigate firewalls; BlueCoat proxy and web-filtering devices; Juniper JunOS-based routers and SRX firewalls; Juniper Secure Access (SSL VPN); McAfee Firewall Enterprise (Sidewinder); Palo Alto Networks firewalls; StoneSoft StoneGate firewalls; and Linux netfilter/iptables firewalls.

Another new capability, Rule Consolidation Analysis, enables the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer to detect similar rules that can be consolidated into one rule, allowing administrators to minimise the firewall policy.

The new release also features enhancements to the web GUI that enable management of all administration tasks from the web browser. Specific improvements to the web GUI include: change monitoring that allows for viewing of all changes on all devices; backup and restore of configuration settings and accumulated firewall rule and object usage; and the inclusion of a first time setup wizard.

No pricing details were disclosed.
