success stories "Leading fintech company rapidly improves security and compliance with AlgoSec jumpstart program" Background The company is one of the largest payment solutions providers, with offices processing more than 28 billion transactions worldwide. The company services 800,000 merchant outlets that generate $120 billion in processing volume. Its businesses include credit card processing, merchant acquisition and issuance of bank credit cards. The company grew to its enormous size through innovation and acquisition. It has introduced modern technology into the payments industry and has acquired many innovative companies over the last three decades. Challenges Today, the company operates 10 data centers with varying security architectures and firewall equipment from different vendors. The security staff is currently in the process of a cross-company firewall consolidation that will take several years to complete. The company is automating its change management of firewall rules to cut down on the time and effort spent on researching and implementing rules to keep up with its fast growth. It deploys rule changes during tight, scheduled “push windows” and conducts compliance reviews twice per year. The firewall change process is highly complex with many steps: Request Design Peer Review Management Approval Implementation Validation Success for the security team is all about time. They seek to automate the process by reducing time spent on: Research and writing rules Peer reviews Staging Security peering after staging Firewall push window requirements Quarterly firewall ruleset reviews as part of compliance objectives Solution The security team acquired AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer (AFA) and deployed it at two of its data centers in Arizona and Colorado. In both locations, the company is in the process of firewall migration to consolidate on one vendor. However, they need to add firewall clusters one at a time after each migration instead of all at once. The company took advantage of AlgoSec’s Jumpstart Program that delivers the benefits of AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer in conjunction with other AlgoSec solutions quickly. With Jumpstart, the company is quickly able to: Automate the discovery and mapping of enterprise applications Automate the change management processes Adopt the new processes across the company Realize rapid ROI The company’s lead security infrastructure consultant proclaimed, “AlgoSec customized their Jumpstart Program just for us. Their people are engaged, personable, skilled and highly efficient. They became part of our team dedicated to our success.” In addition to getting Horizon Security Analyzer up and running quickly and delivering its benefits, the Jumpstart team’s AFA deployment immediately identified network security gaps and helped the company close them, making them more secure and compliant. Results AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer is achieving all the goals of the security team. Time for policy writing reduced from 90 hours to 15 hours – 83% less Cut the total process time by half, enabling the security team to keep up with the barrage of change requests. Reduced the admin overhead from 30 to 4 – 87% less “Automation is definitely the way to go,” declared their security consultant. “We can now stay on top of the process even while we migrate our firewalls. We are looking for more from AlgoSec.” The company is now in the process of implementing AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow (AFF) to enhance the existing change management system with intelligent network and security automation. AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow enforces compliance and automatically documents the entire change-management lifecycle. Some of the features include: Processing of firewall changes with zero-touch automation Elimination of mistakes and rework, and improvement of accountability for change requests Proactive assessment of the impact of network changes to ensure security and continuous compliance Automation of the rule–recertification processes Schedule time with one of our experts

Leading Life Insurance Company Ensures Security and Compliance Organization Life Insurance Industry Financial Services Headquarters Texas, USA Download case study Share Customer
success stories "AlgoSec worked right out of the box. We got started quickly and never looked back.” A leading insurance provider of life, disability and other benefits for individuals increases efficiency and ensures continuous compliance on their networks. Background This life insurance company provides insurance and wealth-management products and services to millions of Americans. The company employs thousands of people and maintains a network of several thousand financial representatives. They offer a wide range of insurance products and services that include life insurance, disability income insurance, annuities, investments, dental and vision. Challenges For decades, the company operated a large and growing data center in Bethlehem, PA which they recently transferred to Dallas, TX. During and since the transfer, the company has been replacing much of its multi-vendor network infrastructure, consolidating on Cisco Firepower technology, but still maintaining vestiges of other routers, firewalls and network equipment. At the new data center, the company’s IT staff maintains more than 100 firewalls that host some 10,000 rules. The company’s network security engineer described the considerable pressure on the security staff: “Change requests are frequent, 25-30 per week, demanding considerable time and effort by the security team.” Due to the presence of firewalls from multiple vendors, change requests were analyzed manually and pushed to devices with great care so as not to interrupt the operation of a rapidly growing body of applications. “The change–request process was tedious and very time consuming,” declared the engineer. “as was the pressure to maintain a strong compliance posture at all times.” The company is subject to a litany of demanding insurance-industry regulations that concern the care of personal information and processes. Managing risk is critical to the success of the business and being able to ascertain compliance with regulations is always vital. Solution The security team turned to AlgoSec to help them manage network security policy across the large data center that includes firewalls from multiple vendors. After a careful review, the security team acquired AlgoSec’s Horizon Security Analyzer to speed up the process of firewall change management as well as to continuously quantify the degree of compliance and level of risk. Vendor-agnostic AlgoSec Horizon Security Analyzer delivers visibility and analysis of complex network security policies across on–premise and cloud networks. It automates and simplifies security operations including troubleshooting, auditing and risk analysis. Horizon Security Analyzer optimizes the configuration of firewalls, routers, web proxies and related network infrastructure to ensure security and compliance. Results After a very short installation and learning period, the security staff became proficient at operating Horizon Security Analyzer helpful capabilities. Soon thereafter, staff members undertook AlgoSec certification courses to become experts in using the solution for firewall analysis. “AlgoSec worked right out of the box,” said the engineer. “We got started quickly and never looked back.” The AlgoSec solution has significantly improved processes, delivering significantly improved results for their security team: Reduced time to analyze and optimize firewall rules, automatically checking for shadow rules and discovering other rules eligible for consolidation or deletion. Continual optimization of firewall rules across their entire network estate. Increased efficiency of security staff, enabling them to keep up with the volume of change requests. Accelerated and more accurate change verification. Audit-readiness, generating scheduled and on-demand compliance reports. The security staff looks forward to implementing AlgoSec Horizon FireFlow (AFF), that will enable them to push changes automatically to their population of firewalls, eliminating errors and further reducing risk. With AFF, the staff will be able to respond to changing business requirements with increased speed and agility. They added: “We are also checking out AlgoSec’s new cloud-security solution since we are migrating a growing number of applications to AWS.” Schedule time with one of our experts

Zero trust vs micro segmentation Select a size Which network Can AlgoSec be used for continuous compliance monitoring? Yes, AlgoSec supports continuous compliance monitoring. As organizations adapt their security policies to meet emerging threats and address new vulnerabilities, they must constantly verify these changes against the compliance frameworks they subscribe to. AlgoSec can generate risk assessment reports and conduct internal audits on-demand, allowing compliance officers to monitor compliance performance in real-time. Security professionals can also use AlgoSec to preview and simulate proposed changes to the organization’s security policies. This gives compliance officers a valuable degree of lead-time before planned changes impact regulatory guidelines and allows for continuous real-time monitoring. Microsegmentation Zero Trust: How Microsegmentation Drives Zero Trust Success Microsegmentation zero trust is the practice of enforcing zero trust principles through fine‑grained, application‑aware segmentation at the workload and service level. Companies today are turning to microsegmentation, a granular form of network segmentation, to contain attacks quickly, prove least‑privilege access, and simplify compliance across hybrid environments. Despite still having to spend an average of $4.4 million per breach, according to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025 , this is 9% lower than 2024. That drop ties directly to faster identification and containment—outcomes microsegmentation accelerates by limiting lateral movement and shrinking the blast radius from the first indicator of compromise. In yet another study, Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report , more than 12,000 confirmed breaches demonstrated how multi-stage intrusions use lateral movement, which microsegmentation technology directly addresses. Meanwhile, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires network segmentation for system scope reduction, which leads to decreased audit work and better system isolation. Taken together, these findings underscore a simple point: Organizations need application‑aware controls—specifically microsegmentation—to stop attackers from moving between systems and to operationalize zero trust. This article discusses the zero trust vs. micro‑segmentation debate, explains how zero trust and microsegmentation in fact work together, and provides a path to design, enforce, and operate this approach. What Is Microsegmentation? Microsegmentation divides networks into small, secure domains that match workload requirements and user/service identities with explicit allow‑rules to stop lateral movement. Network security today benefits from application-based boundaries, i.e., policies applied where applications actually communicate—not just subnets and VLANS. In practice, that means protecting individual workloads and the communication between them across data centers, public clouds, containers, and endpoints—rather than vaguely “protecting components” or “locations.” What Is the Difference Between Traditional (Macro) and Micro-Segmentation This comparison comes down to a difference in approach: Macro-segmentation uses broad VLANs and subnets or DMZs to divide network tiers; while this provides limited east-west control, it is simpler to design. Micro-segmentation uses SDN and host agents, as well as cloud security groups; application-specific policies are enforced at the workload/service boundary, which is why they are the engine of microsegmentation zero trust. What Role Do Firewalls and Network Segmentation Layers Play in Microsegmentation? Your existing perimeter and internal firewalls provide north‑south control, compliance zones, and enforcement points that microsegmentation can orchestrate. In other words, microsegmentation complements firewalls and network segmentation layers—it does not replace them. Extending the point above: Microsegmentation orchestrates those firewall and segmentation layers to deploy least‑privilege across hybrid systems—specifically: Cloud security groups NACLs SDN fabrics Kubernetes policies Host-based controls Since these layers are complementary, they collectively shrink the blast radius. What Is Zero Trust? Zero trust is a security concept, not a product or service. The system uses identity-based dynamic authorization, which takes into account device health status and environmental context—instead of traditional static location-based access methods. Verification is continuous because environments and risk conditions evolve. Zero trust verifies every access decision—no implicit trust—and enforces least privilege Zero Trust vs. Micro‑Segmentation: Complementary Forces While zero trust operates as an operational framework, microsegmentation functions as an implementation methodology. While zero trust explains what needs protection and which aspects require protection, microsegmentation provides the how. The table below breaks down the two concepts across key parameters. Aspect Zero Trust (Strategy) Microsegmentation (Mechanism) Focus Identity, posture, continuous verification Allowed app/workload flows Scope Enterprise‑wide architecture App tiers, services, identities Enforcement Policies derived from context and risk SDN, host agents, security groups, firewalls Outcome Minimized implicit trust; provable least‑privilege Contained blast radius; fewer lateral‑movement paths What Is Microsegmentation Zero Trust? The combination of zero trust and microsegmentation forms microsegmentation zero trust—a strategy connected to enforcement. The three primary goals of this approach are: Risk reduction Lateral movement prevention Least privilege verification Microsegmentation zero trust applies zero trust principles—continuous verification and least privilege—by defining and enforcing explicit, application‑aware allow‑rules between identities, services, and workloads. Why Does Microsegmentation Zero Trust Matter? It matters because it measurably reduces lateral movement paths and speeds incident containment. Authorized paths are explicitly permitted communication flows (service A to service B on port X from an approved identity) that have been validated as necessary for the application to function. Pre‑defining and testing these authorized paths speeds deployment because changes ship with pre-validated, least‑privilege policies—reducing last‑minute firewall rework, minimizing approvals, and preventing rollback from unexpected blocks. Implementing Microsegmentation to Achieve Zero Trust Microsegmentation is a continuous process, consisting of multiple stages to successfully achieve zero trust. Asset & Dependency Discovery Start by analyzing the network traffic behavior of applications and workloads in traditional on-premises setups, public clouds, and container environments. This application-first view serves as the base for zero trust segmentation, which stops security gaps from occurring. Policy Creation Create allow‑lists for individual app components and identity groups based on observed application traffic flows (sources/destinations, ports, processes) and documented business requirements, then validate with “what‑if” simulations before production. Enforcement Implement the approved policy through current controls—cloud security groups, firewalls, SDN fabrics, host controls, and Kubernetes—to achieve uniform protection across hybrid and multi-cloud systems. Continuous Monitoring & Adaptive Policy Continuously monitor for drift, prune unused rules, and adjust policies using detection data—without re‑introducing broad implicit trust or “allow any” access. Challenges & Pitfalls to Avoid Security organizations that operate effectively still encounter various obstacles when implementing microsegmentation: Lack of visibility in application maps: When third-party or SaaS endpoints and ephemeral services (containers, serverless functions) are not properly documented, visibility suffers. The fix? Run continuous dependency discovery operations while keeping tags and labels up to date. Focusing solely on network-based controls: Ignoring workload and identity context can weaken your security measures. The fix? Use service accounts, workload identities, namespaces, and labels as the basis for policy connections whenever possible. Relying on a single technology: Depending only on firewalls or security groups can create gaps in your security posture. The fix? Implement security orchestration using a combination of firewalls, SDN security groups, and Kubernetes network policies. Manual exception handling: Human intervention creates delays, slowing down release cycles. The fix? Orchestrate a combination of controls—next‑gen firewalls, SDN fabrics, cloud security groups, and Kubernetes network policy—so each layer covers the others.
