AlgoSec Unveils Automated ISO 27001 Firewall Compliance Solution; Provides Out-of-the-Box Reports for Check Point, Cisco and Juniper Firewalls
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RESTON, VA, May 21 / MARKET WIRE/ --
AlgoSec Inc., the leading
provider of Firewall Operations and Security Risk Management solutions,
today announced its automatically completed ISO 27001 report, eliminating labor and time intensive enterprise
firewall compliance requirements. The audit-ready ISO 27001 report rounds
out AlgoSec's compliance offering, which also includes automatically
completed
PCI DSS and SOX out-of-the-box compliance reports.
The latest turnkey offering enhances the AlgoSec
Firewall Analyzer (AFA) Product Suite, which helps users automate
complex and time-consuming aspects of firewall, router and VPN
administration. AlgoSec's firewall and VPN analysis software solutions work
across all available platforms from the leading three enterprise firewall
vendors: Cisco, Check Point and Juniper/NetScreen.
The AlgoSec ISO/IEC 27001 compliance report precisely follows the reporting
requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001:2005 International Standard "Information
technology -- Security techniques -- Information security management
systems -- Requirements," and on the companion ISO/IEC 27002:2005 "Code of
practice for information security management" International Standard. The
compliance report answers the requirements that apply to an organization's
firewalls -- which are a central part of any organization's Information
Security Management System (ISMS).
With the automatically completed ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS and SOX reports
enterprises now can:
-- View firewall and VPN compliance requirements relative to the standard
that is relevant to their industry
-- Easily identify how to remediate when in contravention to a line item
in the requirement
-- Receive real-time reports reflecting any changes made in the firewall
and VPN configuration
-- View risky firewall and VPN rules relative to the standards
-- Provide auditors with a pre-populated compliance report

"Government- and industry-mandated compliance requirements are increasing
and organizations are investing more time and energy trying to adhere to
the various standards. At AlgoSec we strive to automate those difficult,
complex and time-consuming issues surrounding firewall compliance and
administration. Our latest out-of-the box ISO compliance report does just
that -- automatically analyzes the firewall configuration relative to
government-mandated standard, a required but until now difficult task,"
said Dr. Avishai Wool, AlgoSec co-founder and CTO.
Some key technical features of the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer solutions
include:
-- Market-leading analytics engine founded on best practice policies on
NIST, NSA, PCI DSS, ISO, FISMA, HIPAA, Basel II and more
-- Side-by-side group comparisons of firewall policies and risks across
firewall vendors: Check Point, Cisco and Juniper
-- Querying capability across multiple firewall platforms to ensure
business continuity and enable easy troubleshooting
-- "What if" analyses across multiple firewall platforms before
implementing changes to ensure expected and desired outcomes
-- Automatically generated graphical firewall network diagram
-- Rule usage analysis, including identifying duplicated, disabled,
expired and unused rules and objects and provides guidance for rule
reordering to optimize performance
-- Continuous security audit provides complete audit trail and replaces
error prone manual task to ensure configuration matches policy
Through its off-line setup, AlgoSec's application is easy to deploy and use
even in the most complex firewall and VPN environments. Its detailed policy
analysis features, combined with an easy to navigate web GUI provides users
with instant visibility into hidden risks in the firewall and VPN policy,
while offering administrators a rich set of capabilities to help them
reduce the large amount of time spent managing these devices.
