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

Explore Algosec's customer success stories to see how organizations worldwide improve security, compliance, and efficiency with our solutions. AlgoSec Case Study: Natilik and Rothschild Organization Natilik and Rothschild Industry Financial services Headquarters Download case study Share Customer
success stories AlgoSec Case Study: Natilik and Rothschild Interview details Interviewee: Robert Elgidge, Security Solutions Director at Natilik Company: Natilik, UK-based global managed service provider Client: Rothschild, a multinational financial services institution Background Natilik, a global managed service provider, collaborated with AlgoSec to address the complex security challenges faced by Rothschild, a financial services leader with over 60 offices in 40 countries and $2.5 billion in annual revenue. Rothschild’s operations include investment banking, asset management, and private banking, as well as advisory roles for governments. Given their critical global role, securing and streamlining their IT infrastructure was a top priority. As part of their modernization strategy, Natilik also leveraged AWS to support Rothschild’s expanding cloud footprint and used the AlgoSec Horizon platform to provide unified visibility and security management across both AWS and on-prem environments. This hybrid approach allowed Natilik to centralize security policy analysis, application connectivity mapping, and risk prioritization across firewalls, cloud controls, and distributed sites. Watch the interview: Natilik’s expertise spans five key solution areas: Collaboration and modern work : enabling seamless communication and productivity across teams. Customer engagement : enhancing customer experiences through tailored digital solutions. Modern networks : building secure, scalable, and high-performing network infrastructures. Multi-cloud and data centers : supporting hybrid and multi-cloud environments for agility and scalability. Cybersecurity : providing end-to-end protection, which underpins all other solution areas. Cybersecurity forms the backbone of their offerings, ensuring clients like Rothschild can navigate an evolving threat landscape while maintaining compliance and operational excellence. Primary use case Rothschild’s primary challenges stemmed from fragmented security policies and inefficient manual processes. According to Robert Elgidge: “Rothschild’s large global firewall estate led to poor visibility and cumbersome management. AlgoSec was introduced to simplify these complexities, but initially, the company struggled with change management, approvals, and deploying firewall rules. Although AlgoSec offered the technology and intelligence needed, a significant amount of manual work was required to align stakeholders and integrate workflows.” With the introduction of AWS into their hybrid architecture, Natilik used AlgoSec Horizon to bridge visibility gaps between cloud and on-prem environments. Horizon’s application-centric discovery and cross-environment policy analysis helped Natilik consolidate cloud security groups, optimize hybrid access rules, and ensure consistent enforcement across AWS and traditional firewalls. AlgoSec’s deployment ultimately allowed Rothschild to consolidate security policies and automate manual processes, reducing errors and freeing resources for higher-value projects. Most valuable features Robert highlighted several standout features of AlgoSec: “AlgoSec’s rule intelligence feature was crucial. It identified which firewall rules were essential and which could be removed, dramatically simplifying the structure. This optimization not only improved performance but also saved significant costs. Initially, Rothschild considered investing in new firewall infrastructure, but AlgoSec’s ability to streamline and prioritize existing rules negated that need. The resulting performance boost was substantial, avoiding unnecessary expenses and improving operational efficiency.” By focusing on rule prioritization and optimization, AlgoSec enhanced Rothschild’s security posture and operational outcomes. With the addition of AlgoSec’s cloud-native capabilities (via its Horizon/ACE architecture), this rule intelligence and optimization extends not only to physical and on-prem firewalls, but also to cloud-native firewalls and security-group configurations ensuring effective policy hygiene across hybrid and multi-cloud estates. Areas for improvement Despite AlgoSec’s benefits, Robert noted areas for potential improvement: “Internal challenges with workflows and approvals persisted. While AlgoSec provided the technical capabilities, a more tailored approach to building or improving management processes would have been helpful. The main difficulties lay in the bureaucratic side of things, such as aligning request and approval roles.” These challenges highlighted the importance of aligning organizational processes with advanced security technologies. Usage duration “My experience with AlgoSec began in 2022, during its deployment at Rothschild. Shortly after, I transitioned to another organization that also used AlgoSec, which gave me further insight into its capabilities across different environments.” Solution stability Robert praised AlgoSec’s reliability: “There were no stability issues. Once AlgoSec was fully integrated, it became the central authority for rule management. We removed manual admin rights from the technical team, ensuring all changes went through AlgoSec. This approach eliminated human error and reinforced the solution’s effectiveness.” This stability now also covers hybrid and cloud-native policy environments, so Rothschild benefits from the same governance and control whether rules apply to physical appliances or cloud firewalls. Customer service and support “The technical support team was highly skilled and responsive. However, in regions like Brazil, where collaboration often involves discussions and in-person meetings, a purely technical approach didn’t always fully address our needs. A more consultative support model could enhance the customer experience in these scenarios.” Initial setup “Deploying AlgoSec was challenging due to the complexity of Rothschild’s network. However, the technical support team acted quickly to address any issues, ensuring the implementation proceeded smoothly. Once the environment was stabilized, maintenance and ongoing use were straightforward.” Return on investment AlgoSec delivered a strong return on investment for Rothschild: “The money saved on after-hours work alone justified the tool within the first year. By optimizing firewall rules and automating workflows, we achieved significant operational savings. This freed up resources for other critical business initiatives, directly contributing to profitability.” With the addition of cloud-native policy management, Rothschild now sees potential additional savings by avoiding redundant firewall investments and streamlining cloud infrastructure as part of their hybrid estate. Pricing, setup costs, and licensing “Compared to other solutions like Tufin and FireMon, AlgoSec was competitively priced and stayed within budget. There were no significant additional costs apart from standard licensing fees. While we did hire new personnel to support change management, that was more related to internal processes than the technology itself.” Final insights Robert shared his advice for organizations considering AlgoSec: “AlgoSec is best suited for larger enterprises with complex environments, especially those with multiple firewall vendors and over 500 rules. For smaller setups, the added complexity of a dedicated solution might not be necessary. However, for businesses dealing with significant network complexity, AlgoSec simplifies management and delivers substantial value. With its cloud-native capabilities, hybrid-ready architecture, and unified policy management across on-prem and cloud, it’s more relevant than ever for organisations operating across diverse infrastructures.I’d rate it 10 out of 10 for companies with the right use case.” Schedule time with one of our experts

Tags Share this article 10/21/21 Published Avivi Siman-Tov, Director of Product Management at AlgoSec, discusses the benefits of network automation and takes us through a step-by-step process to standardize change management In today’s fast-paced, data-driven environment, the only constant that businesses can bank on is change. For organizations to function and compete in the modern digital landscape, they need their data to be able to move freely and unobstructed through every branch of their business, unimpeded by security issues that require constant manual attention. The network is arguably the beating heart of an organization but keeping it ticking requires more maintenance than it once did, owing to constantly changing risk profiles and circumstances. That’s why a greater number of businesses are turning to change automation to bridge the gap between network alerts and the action that needs to be taken. Barriers to automation According to Gartner , organizations that can automate more than 70% of their network changes can reduce the number of outages by at least 50% and deliver services up to 50% faster. That’s because a lot of legacy solutions tend to take a reactive rather than proactive approach to dealing with security. There are multiple controls in place that simply don’t talk to each other. While most businesses get alerts from SIEM solutions and vulnerability scanners, responding to them turns into a full-time job, distracting your team from other important work they could be doing. Most organizations know that manual policy changes impact their productivity, but they’re afraid to take the leap to automation because of an ill-placed perception around security. Production environments in all organizations are maintained by different teams — for example, DevOps, maintenance, cloud security, IT, and more. Not all of these teams are educated to the same level in security matters, and some see it as a constraint that slows their work. This can lead to conflict between teams, which means that automation is not always welcome. Despite some resistance to change, enterprise-wide change automation makes it possible to transform network security policies without needing to reinvent the wheel or replace existing business processes. Automation and actionable intelligence are proven to enhance security and business agility without the stress often associated with misconfigurations caused by manual, ad-hoc processes. A typical network change workflow By elevating firewall change management from a manual, arduous task to a fully automated, zero-touch process, networks can become more agile and organizations far more adaptive. There are several steps that organizations need to take towards complete network security automation, from a simple change request through to implementation and validation. Let’s take a look at the most common steps in establishing automation for a simple change request. Step 1 – Request a network change Every change begins with a request. At this stage, you need to clarify who is asking for the amendment and why because sometimes the request is unnecessary or covered by an existing ruleset. Step 2 – Find relevant security devices Once this request is translated, the change automation platform will handle the request and implement the changes to hybrid networks. The administrator will be able to see which firewall and routing devices are involved and what impact the change will have. Step 3 – Plan change The change automation platform understands how to deal with different vendor-specific settings and how to implement the requests in a way that avoids creating any duplicates. Step 4 – Risk check The administrator will get a ‘ what if’ analysis, which checks the change for any risks. In this phase, the decision as to whether to allow the change and expose the network to the risk mentioned is in the hands of the network admin or security manager, depending on who is handling this phase. Step 5 – Push change to device Once planned changes are approved, the ‘magic’ happens. The change automation platform implements and pushes the changes to the desired devices automatically, either through APIs or directly to the device (CLI). This is a fully automated action that can be conducted on multiple devices, whether cloud-based or on-premises. The push can be done in a scheduled manner, in your maintenance window, or on-demand. Step 6 – Validate change At the end of each request, the solution will check that the request was successfully implemented across all devices. The solution also provides ongoing audits of the whole process, enabling easy checking of each stage. Step 7 – Documentation and logging Network security automation platforms can provide you with a full, automated audit trail. Documentation happens on the go, saving IT and security teams time and accelerating tedious network compliance management tasks. Put your trust in network automation While change management is complex stuff, the decision for your business is simple. It’s like the engine of an expensive car. Would you drive at high speeds if you didn’t have your brakes tested or a steering wheel to keep your course straight? Hopefully, the answer is no. With AlgoSec FireFlow , you can automate the security policy change process without introducing any element of risk, vulnerability, or compliance violation. AlgoSec FireFlow allows you to analyze every change before it is introduced, and validate successful changes as intended, all within your existing IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions .

Tags Share this article 11/15/21 Published In this guest blog, Jeff Yager from IT Central Station (soon to be PeerSpot), discusses how actual AlgoSec users have been able to securely accelerate their app delivery. These days, it is more important than ever for business owners, application owners, and information security professionals to speak the same language. That way, their organizations can deliver business applications more rapidly while achieving a heightened security posture. AlgoSec’s patented platform enables the world’s most complex organizations to gain visibility and process changes at zero-touch across the hybrid network. IT Central Station members discussed these benefits of AlgoSec , along with related issues, in their reviews on the site. Application Visibility AlgoSec allows users to discover, identify, map, and analyze business applications and security policies across their entire networks. For instance, Jacob S., an IT security analyst at a retailer, reported that the overall visibility that AlgoSec gives into his network security policies is high. He said, “It’s very clever in the logic it uses to provide insights, especially into risks and cleanup tasks . It’s very valuable. It saved a lot of hours on the cleanup tasks for sure. It has saved us days to weeks.” “AlgoSec absolutely provides us with full visibility into the risk involved in firewall change requests,” said Aaron Z. a senior network and security administrator at an insurance company that deals with patient health information that must be kept secure. He added, “There is a risk analysis piece of it that allows us to go in and run that risk analysis against it, figuring out what rules we need to be able to change, then make our environment a little more secure. This is incredibly important for compliance and security of our clients .” Also impressed with AlgoSec’s overall visibility into network security policies was Christopher W., a vice president – head of information security at a financial services firm, who said, “ What AlgoSec does is give me the ability to see everything about the firewall : its rules, configurations and usage patterns.” AlgoSec gives his team all the visibility they need to make sure they can keep the firewall tight. As he put it, “There is no perimeter anymore. We have to be very careful what we are letting in and out, and Firewall Analyzer helps us to do that.” For a cyber security architect at a tech services company, the platform helps him gain visibility into application connectivity flows. He remarked, “We have Splunk, so we need a firewall/security expert view on top of it. AlgoSec gives us that information and it’s a valuable contributor to our security environment.” Application Changes and Requesting Connectivity AlgoSec accelerates application delivery and security policy changes with intelligent application connectivity and change automation. A case in point is Vitas S., a lead infrastructure engineer at a financial services firm who appreciates the full visibility into the risk involved in firewall change requests. He said, “[AlgoSec] definitely allows us to drill down to the level where we can see the actual policy rule that’s affecting the risk ratings. If there are any changes in ratings, it’ll show you exactly how to determine what’s changed in the network that will affect it. It’s been very clear and intuitive.” A senior technical analyst at a maritime company has been equally pleased with the full visibility. He explained, “That feature is important to us because we’re a heavily risk-averse organization when it comes to IT control and changes. It allows us to verify, for the most part, that the controls that IT security is putting in place are being maintained and tracked at the security boundaries .” A financial services firm with more than 10 cluster firewalls deployed AlgoSec to check the compliance status of their devices and reduce the number of rules in each of the policies. According to Mustafa K. their network security engineer, “Now, we can easily track the changes in policies. With every change, AlgoSec automatically sends an email to the IT audit team. It increases our visibility of changes in every policy .” Speed and Automation The AlgoSec platform automates application connectivity and security policy across a hybrid network so clients can move quickly and stay secure. For Ilya K., a deputy information security department director at a computer software company, utilizing AlgoSec translates into an increase in security and accuracy of firewall rules. He said, “ AlgoSec ASMS brings a holistic view of network firewall policy and automates firewall security management in very large-sized environments. Additionally, it speeds up the changes in firewall rules with a vendor-agnostic approach.” “The user receives the information if his request is within the policies and can continue the request,” said Paulo A., a senior information technology security analyst at an integrator. He then noted, “Or, if it is denied, the applicant must adjust their request to stay within the policies. The time spent for this without AlgoSec is up to one week, whereas with AlgoSec, in a maximum of 15 minutes we have the request analyzed .” The results of this capability include greater security, a faster request process and the ability to automate the implementation of rules. Srdjan, a senior technical and integration designer at a large retailer, concurred when he said, “ By automating some parts of the work, business pressure is reduced since we now deliver much faster . I received feedback from our security department that their FCR approval process is now much easier. The network team is also now able to process FCRs much faster and with more accuracy.” To learn more about what IT Central Station members think about AlgoSec, visit https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/algosec-reviews Schedule a demo Related Articles Q1 at AlgoSec: What innovations and milestones defined our start to 2026?
