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?

During the development of any new product or feature, we perform a comprehensive threat and risk analysis to identify potential security risks early in the process. Based on this analysis, we define product-specific security requirements and ensure that they are properly integrated into the overall solution design. Security is reviewed throughout the design, development, testing, and release phases. Before release, our products undergo comprehensive security testing, including vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, based on OWASP security standards. Security updates, patches, and upgrades follow the same rigorous validation process and are deployed only after they have been verified as secure. Penetration testing is performed across key product areas, including: On-premises ASMS solution SaaS services AlgoSec website AlgoSec Customer Portal We also proactively scan our products using industry-standard vulnerability scanning tools on a nightly and continuous basis: The on-premises ASMS solution is scanned using six vulnerability scanners. Dynamic web application security testing follows the OWASP methodology, including DAST-based scanning. Our SaaS offerings are scanned using ACE and OWASP Dependency-Check. Source Code Scanning In addition to product and application-level security testing, we perform source code security scanning using two different tools and technologies. These tools help identify security issues early in the development of lifecycle by analyzing source code, dependencies, and potential vulnerable components. Our source code scanning process is designed to detect risks such as: Code-level security vulnerabilities Insecure coding patterns Vulnerable third-party or open-source dependencies Potential weaknesses before code is merged or released This approach helps ensure that security issues are identified and remediated as early as possible, reducing risk before deployment. Reporting vulnerabilities to AlgoSec If you discover a security vulnerability in our systems, we encourage you to responsibly disclose it to us through the provided reporting process. Your efforts play a crucial role in our ongoing commitment to prioritize the security of our products and solutions throughout their entire life cycle.

Please coordinate any public disclosures of the detected vulnerability with AlgoSec. Please do not use attacks on physical security, social engineering, distributed denial of service, spam, etc. FAQs On-prem Security: Yes, Information stored in the SaaS environment is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Is information stored in the SaaS environment encrypted at rest? How are encryption keys managed? Encryption keys are managed through AWS-managed services. For database storage, we use AWS Key Management Service (KMS) with services such as Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB. For object storage in Amazon S3, we use server-side encryption with Amazon S3-managed keys , also known as SSE-S3. How are encryption keys managed for the SaaS environment? Device credentials are stored on AlgoSec Appliances for operational purposes using AES 256-bit encryption, with a randomly generated master key and per-password random salt. Local user credentials stored on AlgoSec Appliances are encrypted using PBKDF2 algorithm with salts and 27,500 hash iterations. How does AlgoSec secure sensitive data at rest? Data in transit: TLS 1.2. How does AlgoSec secure data in transit? You can configure ASMS to encrypt your backup files based on a password you provide. Encryption uses AES 256. Are backup files encrypted? Data remains in your estate (environment) and is not accessible to AlgoSec. Therefore, data retention is your choice. Data that is provided to AlgoSec as part of handling your technical support cases is kept for 90 days after the case is resolved. What is the data retention policy? Yes. See our Product Security section Does AlgoSec run pen tests on the on-premises product? Yes. Please report any findings to us using the process outlined in the ‘Reporting Vulnerabilities to AlgoSec’ section. Can I conduct a penetration test against AlgoSec products? SaaS Security: ACE collects network, configuration, access information, and usage information from the customer's cloud environment. ACE can also be connected your on-premises ASMS. AlgoSec Horizon AppViz and Horizon ObjectFlow products rely on ASMS to collect data about your on-premises filtering technologies and configuration. What data is used by AlgoSec? Yes. AlgoSec SaaS supports SSO via SAML 2.0 (for example, Azure Active Directory (AAD), Okta, etc.). For customers who don’t want to use SSO, AlgoSec SaaS uses the Cognito AWS service to manage users. Does AlgoSec support Single-Sign-On (SSO)? All AlgoSec SaaS-based products use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). How is access control handled? Yes. AlgoSec SaaS supports IP allowlisting, which lets customers restrict access to their SaaS tenant from approved public IP addresses or CIDR ranges, such as corporate offices, VPN egress points, secure web gateways, proxies, or other approved network locations. When IP allowlisting is configured, access attempts from non-allowlisted source IP addresses are denied. IP allowlisting is an additional access-control layer and is intended to complement, not replace, authentication and authorization controls such as SSO, MFA, and RBAC. Is it possible to restrict access to AlgoSec SaaS by source IP address? Yes. Both human-triggered actions (from the browser) and programmatic actions (from an API call) require authentication and use a token. Does AlgoSec SaaS perform authentication of all calls and authorization to control access to functionalities via tokens? Data in transit: TLS 1.2. Data at rest: RDS and S3 buckets are encrypted using AWS disk encryption technology (AES-256). Does AlgoSec SaaS use encryption mechanisms in transit and at rest based on secure ciphers/protocols? Yes. Do activity and audit logs provide sufficient information for legal and audit purposes of all actions performed by administrators and users, in order to meet e-discovery orders? Yes. Audit logs may be exported. Does the system allow the sending of logs and security audit trails to SIEM platforms? No. Do AlgoSec SaaS products have known vulnerabilities that were not fixed in the latest version? Yes. Does AlgoSec have a Business Continuity plan? AlgoSec SaaS uses separate databases and S3 buckets for each tenant. Will the data be stored in a repository shared with other companies? Data is retained as long as it is not deleted by the customer. Is there a data retention policy for SaaS products? A small number of designated site-reliability engineers (SREs) and tier-4 support engineers may have access to customer tenants for operational maintenance and technical support activities. Do AlgoSec employees have access to customer data? Yes. See our ‘Product Security’ section. Does AlgoSec run pen tests on the SaaS product? This requires prior approval from AlgoSec to avoid service disruptions. Please report any findings to us using the process outlined in the ‘Reporting Vulnerabilities to AlgoSec’ section.

Firewall configuration: What is it? How does it work? Firewalls can greatly increase the security of enterprise networks, and enable organizations to protect their assets and data from malicious actors. But for this, proper firewall configuration is essential. Firewall configuration involves configuring domain names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and completing several other actions to keep firewalls secure. Firewall policy configuration is based on network types called “profiles” that can be set up with security rules to prevent cyber attacks. Schedule a demo Watch a video Firewall configuration challenges Configuring firewalls can raise many challenges Finding the right firewall It can be overwhelming to decide between a hardware or software firewall, so make sure you first determine your business needs and network configuration. Software firewalls can protect individual machines against harmful traffic; hardware firewalls are suitable for protecting enterprise networks. Broad firewall policy configurations During firewall setup, broad approvals policies that allow traffic from any source to any destination can expose the network to several security risks. It’s safer to implement narrow permissions from the start by following the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP). These firewall rule configurations can be widened later as required. Non-standard authentication With non-standard authentication methods, your firewall could accept weaker passwords or place less stringent limits on the number of login attempts allowed. This increases the risk of cybersecurity breaches. For safety, use only standard authentication methods. Open ports and risky management services Cybercriminals leverage open firewall ports and dynamic routing protocols to penetrate and exploit enterprise networks. Disable open ports at the time of firewall configuration. Other open ports should be adequately protected. Inadequate firewall monitoring If firewalls are not monitored, you may miss signs of unusual traffic that could indicate the presence of cyber attackers. Always monitor and log outputs from security devices so you will be alerted if you’re under attack. If an attacker does break through, alerts reduce the time to response. Guest or public networks: Use this profile when the system is connected to a public network. It’s best to set restrictive access because the other systems on the network could be potentially harmful. Private networks: Use this profile when connected to a network in workgroup mode. Set access to medium levels since the other systems can be mostly trusted. Domain networks: This profile is used when networks are connected to an Active Directory (AD) domain. A group policy controls the firewall settings. What are the network profiles for firewall configuration? A typical enterprise-level network is segregated into multiple security zones or “rings”: Ring 1: The Internet Edge Ring 2: The Backbone Edge Ring 3: The Asset Network Edge Ring 4: Local Host Security These zones are a logical way to group the firewall’s physical and virtual interfaces, and control traffic. Traffic can flow freely within a zone, but not between different zones until you define and allow it within the firewall policy configuration. In general, more zones means a more secure network What is the role of security zones in firewall settings? Yes, you can create a filter with a list of words, phrases and variations to be blocked. Configure your firewall settings to “sniff” each packet of traffic for an exact match of this text. Can I configure my firewall to block specific words or phrases? For each network profile, a firewall displays status information like: Profile currently in use Firewall state (On or Off) Incoming connections and current policy Active networks Notification state What information does a firewall display for each network profile? You can set firewall filters for all these protocols: Internet Protocol (IP) to deliver information over the Internet Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to break apart and reconstruct information over the Internet HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for web pages User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for information that requires no user response File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload/download files Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) for sending text-based information via email Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to collect system information from a remote computer Telnet to perform commands on a remote computer What are the protocols you can set firewall filters for? Here’s a 6-step secure firewall setup process: Secure the firewall Update with the latest firmware Replace default passwords with strong, unique passwords Avoid using shared user accounts Disable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or configure it securely Restrict incoming/outgoing traffic for TCP Create firewall zones Group assets into zones based on functions and risk levels Set up the IP address structure to assign zones to firewall interfaces Configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) Make them specific to the source and destination port numbers and IP addresses Create a “deny all” rule to filter out unapproved traffic Create an ACL (inbound/outbound) for each interface and sub-interface Disable admin interfaces from public access Disable unencrypted firewall management protocols Configure firewall logging Critical if PCI DSS compliance is a requirement Disable extra/unused services Test the firewall configuration Ensure the correct traffic is being blocked Perform penetration testing and vulnerability scanning Securely back up the configuration After you complete the firewall setup, manage and monitor it continuously to ensure that it functions as intended What are the firewall configuration steps?

Horizon unifies application connectivity governance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments through AI-powered automation AlgoSec Horizon A33.30 eliminates security silos, accelerates application delivery, automates policy management and continuously reduces cyber risk Horizon unifies application connectivity governance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments through AI-powered automation July 22, 2026 Speak to one of our experts RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ – July 22, 2026 – AlgoSec , global leader in application-centric security management, today announced the latest release of Horizon A33.30, its unified platform for securing application connectivity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The release helps security teams accelerate secure application delivery, reduce operational complexity and strengthen policy governance. As enterprises accelerate cloud adoption, AI initiatives and digital transformation, security teams are under increasing pressure to enable business innovation without compromising security or compliance. Yet many organizations continue to rely on fragmented security tools, disconnected workflows and manual processes that slow application delivery, increase operational costs and create unnecessary risk. Horizon A33.30 helps organizations break down those silos. The platform brings together application, policy, risk and compliance context so security teams can govern secure application connectivity without having to rely on a patchwork of isolated security tools. "Security should never be the reason business slows down," said Eran Shiff, Chief Product Officer at AlgoSec. "Today's enterprises don't need another point product – they need a unified platform that understands applications, business context and risk across every environment. Horizon enables organizations to replace fragmented security operations with intelligent automation, giving them the confidence to innovate faster while reducing operational complexity and cyber risk." With Horizon A33.30, organizations can: Unify security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments: Modern enterprises operate across data centers, public cloud, private cloud, SDN, Kubernetes and SaaS environments. but security operations often remain fragmented across tools and teams. Horizon A33.30 gives security teams a unified way to govern application connectivity and policy across this complex infrastructure. The release expands support for Check Point Smart-1 Cloud , including traffic simulation query and risk assessment capabilities. The release also expands support for additional cloud-managed security platforms, including Palo Alto Networks Strata Cloud Manager capabilities, Azure Firewall automation, Google Cloud security services and AWS Network Firewall – giving security teams a single operational view of application connectivity and policy across their entire infrastructure. Accelerate secure application delivery: Rather than treating security as a bottleneck, Horizon A33.30 helps organizations securely deliver applications faster without compromising governance, compliance or control. Combining AI-powered application discovery , flow-level recertification, traffic simulation, impact analysis and policy automation , the platform enables Security and networking teams to gain deep visibility into application dependencies before implementing changes, dramatically reducing deployment delays, troubleshooting time and business disruption. Transform security operations through intelligent automation: One in five organizations still relies primarily on manual security processes. Horizon A33.30 introduces expanded automation capabilities that eliminate manual policy management while maintaining governance. Enhanced workflows, Azure Firewall automation, new REST APIs, AI-powered natural language queries and streamlined user experiences help security teams automate repetitive work, reduce human error and focus on strategic security initiatives instead of operational overhead. Continuously reduce cyber risk and strengthen compliance: Security is most effective when it's continuous, not reactive. Horizon A33.30 introduces new compliance reporting for NIS2, updated PCI DSS and SWIFT frameworks, expanded risk intelligence, customizable tag-based risk definitions and enhanced cloud security analysis, enabling organizations to continuously identify, prioritize and remediate risk while maintaining audit-ready compliance across hybrid environments.
