Key Features and Benefits
  1. Identify and Remediate existing rule-based risks: The FA generates a complete firewall policy analysis report. It describes the risks related to the existing firewall rules according to their importance, and in three mouse clicks guides you to the specific firewall rule that needs to be modified to remove this risk.

  2. Improved Firewall Change Management Process: Use FA's built-in "What If" analysis to ensure that no hidden risks are introduced in policy changes - before making changes to your firewall policy. Integrate FA into your change management process in order to simultaneously support faster response to change requests and enhance your overall security.

  3. Locate and fix human errors before damage occurs: Every new risk is highlighted so that it can be fixed quickly.

  4. Identify Unused Rules and Host Groups: Be advised about rules and host groups that are not being used to make your firewall policy more efficient.

  5. Comprehensive Analysis: FA analyzes every possible type of packet that the firewall may ever encounter. The number of theoretical combinations is over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

  6. No false positives: FA includes a complete customization suite, providing you with the ability to eliminate risk items from reports that are irrelevant to your environment.

OPSEC Integration
The AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer (FA) automatically and non-intrusively analyzes a firewall's policy. It identifies rules that cause security holes and offers detailed guidance about how to close them. OPSEC is leveraged for the automatic retrieval of the firewall's routing table from the firewall module without the need to collect it manually. This information is needed for the analysis of the firewall.
