FireFlow™ Intelligent Workflow for Network Security

With a constant influx of change requests and increasing compliance requirements, managing the network security policy change lifecycle has become a complex, time consuming, manual and often disjointed process for many organizations.

AlgoSec’s FireFlow™ solution goes beyond standard change reporting management. It provides unparalleled visibility, insight and analysis into the network security policy change lifecycle. An end-to-end solution, FireFlow automates the change lifecycle process from submission to audit. It ensures that security policy changes are approved, necessary and implemented as intended.

FireFlow is compatible with multiple vendors in integrated environments. It checks the impact of requested changes on an enterprise’s security posture to identify potential risks and provides networking and security team members the best practices for mitigating discovered risks. FireFlow also automatically matches request tickets to detected changes and reports on mismatches and unauthorized changes.

FireFlow also significantly reduces the workload on the networking team: Thanks to its unique ability to detect the network topology, FireFlow automatically identifies the devices that need to be changed. Importantly, FireFlow automatically recognizes unnecessary changes, helping control policy bloat and wasted time. FireFlow also helps clarify vague change requests, and pinpoints what needs to be changed in the policy via smart firewall-aware operations.

The solution is automated but customizable to ensure that corporate security policies can be easily applied and enforced in the lifecycle process to maximize security, adhere to compliance standards and optimize operational performance. The solution is scalable from an infrastructure, platform and configuration perspective. AlgoSec’s FireFlow is the only Network Security Lifecycle Management solution to offer these advantages.
