Webinars Horizon AppViz Ablaze? Ablaze? Put Out Network Security Audit & Compliance Fires The growing body of regulations and standards forces enterprises to put considerable emphasis on compliance verified by ad hoc and regular auditing of security policies and controls. While regulatory and internal audits entail a wide range of security checks, network firewalls are featured prominently as they are the first line of defense of the enterprise network. Typical networks might include tens or hundreds of firewalls from multiple vendors running thousands of rules. Auditing firewalls for compliance is becoming more complex and demanding all the time. Documentation of current rules and their evolution of changes is lacking Time and resources required to find, organize and inspect all the firewall rules to determine the level of compliance is exorbitant and growing It’s time to adopt auditing’s best practices to maintain continuous compliance. Join us in this webinar to discover the Firewall Audit Checklist, the 6 best practices that will ensure successful audits and full compliance. By adopting these best practices, security teams will significantly improve their network’s security posture and reduce the pain of ensuring compliance with regulations, industry standards and corporate policies.

Explore resources on firewall policy management with expert insights, guides, and best practices to optimize your network security with Algosec. Firewall policy management Automate firewall rule changes Every enterprise network needs to have effective firewall management tools to make sure the entire IT infrastructure is secured against unauthorized and potentially harmful traffic from outside the network. Improve your firewall policy management with tested and proven firewall policy management tools and mitigate network issues with an effective firewall management software. Learn More Webinar Firewall Policy Challenges As a firewall admin, the challenges associated with firewall rules, firewall compliances, firewall policies and firewall changes secure your business networks and systems are not centered only around the firewall technology itself, but also on how the firewall configuration is integrated with your business security policies. With the growing number of applications and devices, network ecosystems have become so complicated that a simple oversight on a precarious firewall may render the entire network offline and endanger the security of the business to various forms of cyber-attacks. Poorly implemented firewall policy management solutions can result in substantial business risks and often by the time it is revealed, the damage has already been done; take for example: Redundant firewall rules that result in illegal network access and cyber-attacks Differences in firewall compliances that are part of government and industry regulations Inappropriate firewall rule modifications that interrupt business applications When it comes to firewall change management, simple oversights and blunders can cause problems that will expose the network to security risks. Additionally, the complexity of today’s networks, devices, applications and the tasks performed within the management solution, require a strong firewall policy management solution in place. Firewall Management Tips 2 Minute Definition FAQ Firewall administrators must know how to properly and effectively manage firewalls to make sure that the IT infrastructure and the business are protected against external and internal unauthorized and potentially harmful network risks. How do you make firewall policies effective? Using a firewall is about creating and establishing intelligent and effective firewall policy decisions. Firewalls are more than capable of implementing policies by translating firewall rules established by the firewall administrator. Then again, as a firewall admin, you must understand the types of firewall rules that will make sense on your current infrastructure. Ordinarily the time investment needed with firewall optimization relies heavily on the initial setup, leaving firewall policy management fairly simple. Although it may take some time, ideas and testing to come up with a firewall security policy that best serves your business requirements, doing so will provide you better control over the security of your network. How long does it take to implement security policy changes? Depending on the firewall policy management tools you use, you can actually process security policy changes within minutes or hours. The good thing about using highly customizable and smart workflows is that it simplifies and automates the whole process of modifying your firewall policies from the first stage of planning to designing a practical risk analysis to implementation, validation and auditing. How do you create a change management workflow? Every change task category or configuration change category needs to have a workflow linked to it. Creating a workflow is required prior to creating a change category or change task category. Technically, you can generate a new workflow from scratch or you can opt to just copy an already existing workflow and create the necessary modifications. How to manage firewall rules? The firewall policy management interface enables network administrators to either enable or disable firewall policies with the purpose of creating or managing the firewall rules designed for outgoing, incoming and inter-zone traffic.

This often causes restrictions when it comes to visibility tools and procedures. But AlgoSec’s firewall policy management tools make it a lot easier to manage and implement standard workload performance by understanding the topology to discover network flows. Understanding the impact of network flows Firewall policy management tools allow you to track and monitor the flow of applications and important services over all areas of the network and provide key insights into network bandwidth usage. This can also work out historical trends for proactively identifying security issues and capacity planning. An effective monitoring of network flows provides you confidence knowing that your network is secure. Managing firewall policies across multi-cloud and hybrid environments When it comes to multi-cloud and hybrid environments, network administrators need to recognize which network flows and security controls affects application connectivity as well as cloud-specific security controls including virtual and physical firewalls that protect cloud resources. Extending the lifespan of hardware Cluttered firewall policies and misconfigurations affect the firewall performance, forcing organizations to invest in costly hardware upgrades to counteract the degradation in performance. Optimize and clean up cluttered policies with actionable recommendations. Consolidate similar rules, discover and remove unused rules and objects, as well as shadowed, duplicate and expired rules - effectively increase existing hardware lifespan. Maintaining security cloud compliance posture It is essential to manage firewall policies that maintain security cloud compliance posture and establish uniform firewall policy across complex clouds and hybrid environments. Handling multiple cloud-management portals Managing various cloud security management consoles, each with its own unique language and GUI, can be a great hassle. With AlgoSec, handling multi-cloud platforms has become a lot easier, providing users with complete control over their cloud services using a single, unified console. Enforcing cloud network security policy consistently Consistency is the crucial design principle behind cloud security solutions. Imposing the cloud network security policy consistently is the defining assumption for an effective firewall policy management platform. Schedule time with one of our experts

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework as well as other NIST security standards help set clear best practices for organizational cyber and network security NIST standards & cybersecurity framework explained The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) is a US government agency, under the Commerce Department, whose mission is to set several types of standards, including security standards. Some NIST data security standards include NIST 800-53, which offers security controls and privacy controls in the areas of application security, mobile, and cloud computing, and supply chain security, NIST 800-53/FI, which establishes standards to implement FISMA , NIST 800-30, which provides guidelines for conducting risk assessments, NIST 800-171, pertaining to the physical security of data centers, and ISO 27001 . White Paper Solution Overview Understanding the NIST Cybersecurity Framework One of the most widely used NIST security standard is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). This internationally recognized framework offers voluntary guidance, based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices for organizations to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. It provides companies with an easy-to-understand common language for talking about cybersecurity risk, no matter where they are on the org chart – from the server room to the board room. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework identifies five core functions: Identify Protect Detect Respond Recover The framework describes desired outcomes that are understandable by everyone, applies to any kind of risk management, defines the entire breath of cybersecurity, and spans both prevention and reaction. Webinar Infographic FAQ ABOUT NIST CYBERSECURITY STANDARDS Understanding NIST Cybersecurity Standards is a crucial part of your network security compliance posture. There are many international regulations that your organization needs to be compliant with, including HIPPA , PCI DSS , GDPR , NIST , ISO 27001, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). Do the NIST Cybersecurity Standards provide a checklist of what all organization should do? No. The framework provides guidance that should be customized by different organizations to best suit their unique risks, situations, and needs. Organizations have different risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and risk tolerance. They will also differ in how they implement the practices in the framework. It should not be implemented as an un-customized checklist or take a one-size-fits-all approach How does my firewall management help with NIST Standards and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework? NIST Special Publication 800-41 establishes guidelines for firewalls and firewall policies, which govern standards and best practices for firewall policy management. According to the guidelines, an organization’s firewall policies should be based on a comprehensive risk-assessment. Firewall policies should be based on blocking all inbound and outbound traffic (“Default Deny”), with exceptions made for desired traffic. Policies should consider the source and destination of the traffic, in addition to the content. Many types of IPv4 traffic, such as those with invalid or private addresses, should be blocked by default. Organizations also should have policies for handling incoming and outgoing IPv6 traffic. Organizations should also determine which applications may send traffic into and out of its network and make firewall policies to block traffic for other applications. According to the guidelines (5.2.2), “if multiple firewalls need to have the same rules or a common subset of rules, those rules should be synchronized across the firewalls. This is usually done in a vendor-specific fashion.” AlgoSec provides out-of-the-box regulatory compliance reports for NIST SP 800-41. What about NIST SP 800-53? NIST SP 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, relates to systems, including firewalls, that monitor and control at the external boundaries of the network and systems that connect to parts of the network. It provides extensive standards for firewall management. AlgoSec provides out-of-the-box regulatory compliance reports for NIST SP 800-53. Do NIST standards also relate to FISMA compliance? How AlgoSec Helps with NIST Standards? FISMA sets out guidelines for managing information security that must be followed for all information systems used or operated by a U.S. federal government agency in the executive or legislative branches, or by a contractor or other organization on behalf of a federal agency in those branches. By following NIST Cybersecurity Guidelines and NIST’s guidelines for firewalls and firewall policies, organizations get closer to FISMA compliance. AlgoSec helps identify traffic flows and associate it with the relevant business applications, and design firewall policies that work across your hybrid network, all with zero-touch automation to reduce the chances of manual misconfigurations. AlgoSec also helps manage and synchronize rules across the multi-vendor estate, so there is holistic and unified management across a network made up of multiple vendors. By using AlgoSec, organizations can be sure that their security management practices follow best practices such as NIST standards. AlgoSec automatically generates pre-populated, audit-ready compliance reports for leading industry regulations, including NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-41, SOX, GLBA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001— which helps reduce audit preparation efforts and costs. AlgoSec also uncovers gaps in organization’s compliance posture and proactively checks every change for compliance violations. AlgoSec also provides daily audit and compliance reporting across the entire heterogeneous network estate. What are some common regulations that customers must be compliance with?

Firewall management services are companies that provide maintenance and management over companies’ firewall and network security infrastructure Firewall management services
Proactive network security Firewall management services (also known as MSSPs, or Managed Security Service Providers ) , are third-party providers that manage and maintain your firewall infrastructure. They operate, administer, monitor and maintain the infrastructure. Firewall management companies also help establish, maintain, and monitor firewall rules. Schedule a demo Case study Firewall management services Common questions about firewall management services What are managed firewall services? A managed firewall are the services around firewalls that ensure that firewalls have clear and well-maintained firewall policy rules, firewalls are proactively patched and updated when needed, and that there is proactive monitoring and auditing. What does a firewall management company do? Firewalls are managed by MSSPs. By using a managed firewall service, organizations get intrusion protection and rapid response to any security incidents. What are firewall service providers and what do they do? Firewall service providers can provide firewalls as a cloud service (FWaaS). Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) moves firewall functionality to the cloud instead of the traditional network perimeter. This allows firewalls to be deployed anywhere in the world and support geographically dispersed remote workforces. How do MSSPs and managed firewall services relate to network firewall security management? MSSPs handle network policy security management in-house. It is the responsibility of the MSSPs to institute, maintain, and modify firewall rules and manage the entire change management process end-to-end. MSSPs can use network security management solutions to manage multiple clients and accelerate visibility, automation, compliance monitoring, and change management. Resources Learn from the experts.
