This document discusses how to automate the firewall audit process to make compliance easy and stress-free. It recommends a 6 step process: 1) gather key information, 2) review the change management process, 3) audit the firewall's physical and OS security, 4) clean up and organize the rule base, 5) assess risks and remediate any issues, and 6) continue improving through ongoing audits. Automating this process with a tool that provides visibility into network policies, supports policy optimization and risk assessment, and generates compliance reports can help streamline audits and ensure continuous compliance.

Movin' On Up to the Cloud: How to Migrate your Application Connectivityshira koper
Migrating applications to the cloud or to another data center is a complex and risky process. First, you need to understand the applications you are currently running (application discovery). Then, you need to define and map the existing application connectivity flows (pre-migration), so that you can easily reestablish them post-migration.
If done manually, this is a difficult and time-consuming process, and a single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter.
Understanding the migration destination is just as important; cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, and it is extremely difficult to translate the network connectivity flows to the cloud security controls and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating application connectivity is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that can take months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
In this webinar, Avivi Siman-Tov, Product Manager at AlgoSec, will explore how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while making security a priority.
Attend this webinar to discover best practices to:
- Automatically discover applications and their existing connectivity flows
- Analyze, simulate and compute the necessary changes – even between different network security technologies such as traditional firewalls and cloud security groups
- Execute the necessary firewall rule changes, and mass-migrate relevant connectivity flows
- Assess the risk and ensure compliance throughout the migration process
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud environment

Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – best practices
When going through a merger/acquisition or a divesture process, companies typically need to move some of their applications to a different data center or to the cloud, merge duplicate applications, or replicate applications to new entities, and decommission the unnecessary ones in order to streamline operations and costs.
In practice, firewall policies will need to be changed or migrated to support the new connectivity, applications, servers and often new firewalls – without creating security risks, outages or compliance violations. This is a very complex project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a very serious impact on business operations.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Products, this new technical webinar will discuss best practices and a real-life use case, which will demonstrate how companies can successfully manage application connectivity through an M&A or divestiture process.
Key topics include how to:

Today, most enterprises are moving at least some of their business applications to the cloud. Yet while the cloud is extremely agile, it also adds a new level of complexity when it comes to network security.
The cloud introduces a software-defined security architecture that is fundamentally different from the organization’s existing on-premise network, and as a result, many enterprises now struggle with migrating application connectivity to the cloud, and managing the cloud security controls alongside their traditional firewalls in a secure and compliant way.
In this webinar, Edy Almer, VP Product at AlgoSec, provides technical insight and security best practices for migrating and managing security across the hybrid AWS environment.
This webinar will cover:
· Understanding network security before, during and after migrating your applications to AWS
· How to identify and migrate the relevant application connectivity flows to AWS
· Managing AWS Security Groups alongside your traditional firewalls – uniformly and securely
· Making the most of AWS Network ACLs – to enhance traffic filtering and maximize capacity
DevSecOps: Putting the Sec into the DevOpsshira koper
DevOps enables companies to deliver innovations faster to market. But with multiple functional teams collaborating on development, and so many moving parts, security is often left out of the DevOps process and then tacked on at the end - delaying deployment into production and negating many of the benefits of DevOps.
Presented by renowned industry expert Prof. Avishai Wool, this new technical webinar will cover best practices for incorporating security into the DevOps lifecycle. This insight will help ensure better collaboration between security and the development teams right from the start and reduce the time, cost and risk of deploying applications into production.
In this webinar Professor Wool will cover how to:
•Identify and map existing applications and their connectivity flows to establish a baseline
•Adjust application connectivity for each stage of the DevOps lifecycle – without coding
•Automatically deploy connectivity throughout the development lifecycle using templates
•Proactively assess risk and compliance throughout the DevOps process
•Manage and maintain security in the production environment
Movin' On Up to the Cloud: How to Migrate your Application Connectivityshira koper
Migrating applications to the cloud or to another data center is a complex and risky process. First, you need to understand the applications you are currently running (application discovery). Then, you need to define and map the existing application connectivity flows (pre-migration), so that you can easily reestablish them post-migration.
If done manually, this is a difficult and time-consuming process, and a single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter.
Understanding the migration destination is just as important; cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, and it is extremely difficult to translate the network connectivity flows to the cloud security controls and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating application connectivity is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that can take months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
In this webinar, Avivi Siman-Tov, Product Manager at AlgoSec, will explore how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while making security a priority.
Attend this webinar to discover best practices to:
- Automatically discover applications and their existing connectivity flows
- Analyze, simulate and compute the necessary changes – even between different network security technologies such as traditional firewalls and cloud security groups
- Execute the necessary firewall rule changes, and mass-migrate relevant connectivity flows
- Assess the risk and ensure compliance throughout the migration process
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud environment
Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – ...AlgoSec
Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – best practices
When going through a merger/acquisition or a divesture process, companies typically need to move some of their applications to a different data center or to the cloud, merge duplicate applications, or replicate applications to new entities, and decommission the unnecessary ones in order to streamline operations and costs.
In practice, firewall policies will need to be changed or migrated to support the new connectivity, applications, servers and often new firewalls – without creating security risks, outages or compliance violations. This is a very complex project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a very serious impact on business operations.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Products, this new technical webinar will discuss best practices and a real-life use case, which will demonstrate how companies can successfully manage application connectivity through an M&A or divestiture process.
Key topics include how to:
• Automatically discover and map existing application connectivity flows prior to making any changes
• Proactively assess the impact of every change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
• Define and execute the necessary security policy changes for traditional firewalls and cloud security controls
• Deliver unified security policy management across the new enterprise environment

2019 01-30 Firewalls Ablaze? Put Out Network Security Audit & Compliance FiresLiraz Goldstein
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.
Security Change Management: Agility vs. ControlAlgoSec

Computerized System Validation Business Intelligence SolutionsDigital-360
Executive Summary
Regulated pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies are challenged to develop manufacturing capabilities quickly and cost-effectively while at the same time safeguarding product quality and patient safety.
Validation has been an essential part of regulated industries for over 20 years, yet as the field has evolved, little has changed in the business, or manual, approach to validation.
Compliance has never been so important. Security breaches and the demands of regulatory bodies are a fact of life. At the same time, compliance has never been harder to manage. Regulatory frameworks are multiplying and becoming more complex, there is an ever-increasing number of devices, and the advent of dynamic provisioning means that environments are created that don’t necessarily follow corporate policy.
In this talk we'll cover the problems managing compliance in a high velocity business along with examples of how Chef analytics helps solve some of these problems.
A single change to a network device can have a far reaching effect on your business. It can create security holes for cyber criminals, impact your regulatory audit, and even cause costly outages that can bring your business to a standstill – as we have recently seen in the news!
This technical webinar will walk you a variety of use cases where device misconfigurations typically occur, including a basic device change, business application connectivity changes, and data center migrations. It will provide both best practices and demonstrate specific techniques to help you understand and avoid misconfigurations and ultimately prevent damage to your business, including how to:
* Understand and map your enterprise infrastructure topology before you make a change
* Proactively assess the impact of a change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
* Common mistakes to avoid when making changes to your network security devices
* How to better understand business requirements from the network security perspective

With the advent of the cloud and the explosion of mobile endpoints, enterprises have increased their focus on maintaining data integrity and confidentiality from growing threats. As a result, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, a.k.a. FedRAMP, has taken on greater significance outside of federal deployments. By standardizing requirements and expectations, the program has set a strong benchmark for the entire cloud industry. In response to repeated security breaches that have damaged brands’ credibility, corporate mandates are now matching and even exceeding their government counterparts. If you are not FedRAMP compliant, enterprises demand to know why not.
The use of encryption is integral to FedRAMP and has become ubiquitous in the effort to protect information assets. But while certain crypto algorithms are often installed alone and unverified, customer expectations have risen in recent years. Enterprises certainly no longer accept homegrown cryptography from vendors, strongly preferring to rely upon solutions that have been vetted by third-party labs and validated by the government. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 is the leading international standard for encryption and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) was established to certify solutions that meet the stringent benchmark. In tandem, FedRAMP and FIPS offer the highest level of assurance for cloud buyers, but both are still generally misunderstood.
You will learn:
• What FedRAMP compliance entails
• Advantages of using a validated cryptographic module in the cloud
• How encryption modules become validated and the pitfalls of the process
• Meaning of FedRAMP compliance claims and how to confirm
• Right questions to ask vendors about their encryption and FedRAMP compliance

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

7. GET READY TO RUMBLE!
“Once released, an extended transition period will be provided for
organizations…
To support this transition, PCI DSS v3.2.1 will remain active for 18 months once
all PCI DSS v4.0 materials are released…
The PCI DSS v4.0 standard will therefore be available for 2 years prior to the
retirement of PCI DSS v3.2.1.” (Lauren Holloway)

8. Ensure firewall configurations and rules:
Meet the requirements of external regulations
Meet internal security policy
Reduce risk
Improve firewall performance by
optimizing the firewall rule base
