AlgoSec's products automate the management and enforcement of security policies across firewalls, routers, virtual private networks (VPNs), and related security devices. Enterprises use AlgoSec's products to manage the configuration of their security systems, identify vulnerabilities, test the systems against their security policies,[2] reduce administrative costs,[3] and ensure compliance to regulations such as PCI-DSS and Sarbanes-Oxley.[4]

History

AlgoSec's core technology was developed in 2001 by Prof. Avishai Wool and his team of researchers at Bell Laboratories. Prof. Wool teamed up with Yuval Baron to found AlgoSec in 2004. At that time, the company was headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

In 2010, AlgoSec moved its headquarters and North American sales office to Roswell, Georgia (Atlanta area). In 2012, AlgoSec moved its headquarters to Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. Today, in addition to its Boston office, AlgoSec has sales offices in London and Singapore, and a Research and Development Center in Petah Tikva, Israel and London.

AlgoSec's customers include enterprises, managed service providers, auditors, and consultants throughout the world.[5]

Products

AlgoSec delivers its products both as standalone modules as well as via an integrated suite, the AlgoSec Security Management Suite, which includes:

  • AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer: automates the auditing and analysis of firewalls, routers, VPNs and other security devices.
  • AlgoSec FireFlow: automates security change management workflow.
  • AlgoSec BusinessFlow: automatically translates business application connectivity needs into necessary firewall rules.

The integration of the products in the suite provides a two-way link between the two processes. [6] The products are available as software only, or loaded on an appliance.[7]
