A Pragmatic Approach to Network Security Across Your Hybrid Cloud EnvironmentAlgoSec
How we think about and architect network security has stayed fairly constant for quite some time.
Until we moved to the cloud.
Things may look the same on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you quickly realize that network security for cloud computing and hybrid networks requires a different mindset, different tools, and a new approach. Hybrid networks complicate management, both in your data center and in the cloud. Each side uses a different basic configuration and security controls, so the challenge is to maintain consistency across both, even though the tools you use – such as your nifty next generation firewall – might not work the same (if at all) in both environments.
Presented by AlgoSec and Rich Mogull, Analyst and CEO at Securosis, this webinar explains how cloud network security is different, and how to pragmatically manage it for both pure cloud and hybrid cloud networks. We will start with some background material and Cloud Networking 101, then move into cloud network security controls, and specific recommendations on how to use and manage them in a hybrid environment.

Different ways to discover network connectivity for existing applications
Migrating applications to the cloud or another data center– without creating security holes or causing application outages– is far easier said than done.
For starters, mapping existing application flows across complex enterprise environments pre-migration – which is critical in order to re-establish the correct traffic flows post-migration – is extremely difficult. A single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter. Moreover, cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, making it extremely difficult to translate application connectivity flows to the cloud security controls, and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating applications is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that takes months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Product, this new webinar will explain how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while ensuring security and avoiding business application outages.

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.
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).

5 things you didn't know you could do with security policy managementAlgoSec
Today’s enterprises are continuously evolving to support new applications, business transformation initiatives such as cloud and SDN, as well as fend off new and more sophisticated cyber-attacks on a daily basis. But security and network staff are struggling to keep up – which not only impacts business agility, but exposes your enterprise to risk and hampers its ability to address the modern threat landscape.
Many professionals believe that they need the latest and greatest new tools to address these challenges. But what if you already have what you need up and running in your organization; your security policy management solution?
Today’s security policy management solutions do far more than automate traditional change management tasks.
In this technical webinar, Edy Almer, AlgoSec VP of Products and Jeffrey Starr AlgoSec CMO, will discuss 5 key security management challenges facing enterprise organizations today and explain how AlgoSec’s solution can help you manage security, reduce risk and respond to incidents while maximizing business agility and ensuring compliance across your disparate, ever-changing, hybrid networks.
This technical webinar will focus on how to:
- Manage security policies end-to-end across public and private cloud including --Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco ACI and VMware NSX
- Map security vulnerabilities to their applications to assess and prioritize risk
- Enable SOC engineers to tie cyber-attacks to business processes
- Migrate firewall policies between firewall brands
- Perform a fully automated, zero-touch security policy change
Application visibility across the security estate the value and the vision ...AlgoSec
Security policy management solutions enable security and operations teams to manage and optimize firewall policy, automate security policy changes and mitigate network security risk - all while avoiding misconfigurations, staying compliant and saving time and resources.
While this provides unprecedented value for network security visibility and management, these teams often lack the business context; the ability to assess the impact of network and firewall rule changes on the company’s business applications, application availability and business processes.
Join Yonatan Klein, Director Product Management at AlgoSec, as he explores why a security policy management solution should also offer application discovery and visibility to enable a truly business-driven approach to security policy management.
The webinar will cover:
Business-driven management of connectivity change requests while avoiding misconfigurations and miscommunications
Pro-active visibility of the security impact of application changes before applying them
How visibility into the applications associated with every firewall rule enhances auditing, compliance and policy cleanup
Clear visibility into the impact of new vulnerabilities and maintenance tasks on business processes
Different ways to discover network connectivity for existing applications
Migrating applications to the cloud or another data center– without creating security holes or causing application outages– is far easier said than done.
For starters, mapping existing application flows across complex enterprise environments pre-migration – which is critical in order to re-establish the correct traffic flows post-migration – is extremely difficult. A single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter. Moreover, cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, making it extremely difficult to translate application connectivity flows to the cloud security controls, and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating applications is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that takes months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Product, this new webinar will explain how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while ensuring security and avoiding business application outages.
The webinar will cover best practices on how to:
- Automatically discover existing application 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
- Deliver unified security policy management across the hybrid enterprise cloud 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.
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:

Microservices @ Work - A Practice Report of Developing MicroservicesQAware GmbH
Cloud Native Night October 2016, Mainz: Talk by Simon Bäumler (Technical Chief Designer at QAware).
Join our Meetup: www.meetup.com/cloud-native-night
Abstract: This talk takes a practice oriented approach to examine microservice oriented architecture. It will show two real systems, one build from scratch in a microservice architecture, the other migrated from a monolithic system to a microservice architecture.
With the example of these two systems the pittfalls, advantages and lessons learned using microservice oriented architectures will be discussed.
While both systems use the java stack, including spring boot and spring cloud many topics will be kept general and will be of interest for all developers.
According to service scale, there are hundreds or thousands of running containers in your service. Should we monitor each container by microscope or monitor each microservice by magnifier? This depends which granularity can help us find and solve the problems. In this sharing, I will introduce how to use cAdvisor, Icinga2, InfluxDB and Grafana to build a self-hosted monitoring system. In addition, I also discuss with how to embrace open source and share some practical experiences.

Put out audit security fires, pass audits -every time AlgoSec
Compliance with network and data security regulations and internal standards is vital and mission-critical. But with increasing global regulations and network complexities, it’s harder than ever to keep up.
Firewall management and network security policies are critical components in achieving compliance. Firewall audits are complex and demanding and documentation of current rules is lacking. There’s no time and resources to find, organize, and inspect all your firewall rules. Instead of being proactive and preventative, network security teams are constantly putting out fires.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• The golden rules for passing a network security audit
• Best practices to maintain continuous compliance
• How to conduct a risk assessment and fix issues
Learn how to prevent fires and pass network security audits every time.
Tal Dayan, AlgoSec’s product manager, will reveal the Firewall Audit Checklist, the six best practices to ensure successful audits.
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.
Cisco ACI & Hybrid Networks - Breaking Down Silos with Central Policy ManagementAlgoSec
Yonatan Klein, Director of Product Management (AlgoSec)
While your network extended beyond the confines of the physical data center and you started using Software Defined Networks (SDN) such as Cisco ACI, managing security policies within your hybrid estate is complex.
Each part of your network estate is managed in its own independent silo instead of being holistically managed.
Learn how to unify, consolidate and automate your entire network security policy management including both the Cisco ACI SDN fabric and elements outside the SDN fabric.
In this webinar, Yonatan Klein, Director of Product Management at AlgoSec, explains how to centralize your security policy management throughout your network and the unique challenges required to manage an SDN fabric, such as Cisco ACI, in order get the most out of your entire network.
He covers how to:
- Proactively assess risk throughout your network, including Cisco ACI contracts, and recommend the necessary changes to eliminate misconfigurations and compliance violations
- Gain full visibility and unify security policy management of your entire hybrid network estate, simulate traffic routes and security policy for ACI and other network devices
- Manage traffic change requests in a holistic manner, including automatically pushing security policy changes to Cisco ACI by creating contracts and filters to enforce data center whitelist policy; as well as identifying and provisioning changes to firewalls both within the ACI fabric as well as other network security controls that are on-premises and in the cloud
2019 08-13 selecting the right security policy management solutionAlgoSec
Presented by: Kyle Wickert, Worldwide Strategic Architect (AlgoSec)
IT must deliver more, faster. Yet as cyber-attacks increase in volume and sophistication, IT groups are finding themselves ill-equipped to secure their networks and maintain compliance while supporting business productivity.
In this era of digital transformation, managing security across complex enterprise networks presents huge challenges. Automation will ease the pressure.
In this technical webinar, Kyle Wickert, Worldwide Strategic Architect at AlgoSec, dives into tips and best practices to help you select the right security policy management solution that will help drive business agility while ensuring security and compliance.
Key topics include:
- Intelligent automation is more than just adding policies
- Letting a business-centric approach take the lead
- Extracting the best from existing automation processes and creating new ones
- Managing it all together: cloud, SDN and on-premise
In today’s complex and dynamic environment with growing digital business demands, IT often struggles to gain adequate visibility and control, and to ensure compliance with security policies and regulatory guidelines. Effective security policy management that accommodates the dynamic nature of today’s organizations is a key challenge for many IT departments.

The traditional network is bursting at the seams. Good old perimeter security, enforced by traditional firewall protection, is being joined by distributed firewalls, public clouds and a shared-responsibility security model.
Managing Effective Security Policies Across Hybrid and Multi-Cloud EnvironmentAlgoSec
Enterprises are not only migrating applications to the cloud from on-premise data centers, but they are developing multi-cloud strategies to take advantage of availability and cost structures as well as to avoid vendor lock-in. In fact, IDC has predicted that more than 85% of IT organizations will commit to multi-cloud architectures already by the end of this year.
In complex, multi-cloud and hybrid environments, security teams need to understand which network flows and security controls impact application connectivity, including cloud-specific security controls (Network ACL and security groups) as well as virtual and physical firewalls that protect cloud resources. They need to manage policies that maintain their compliance posture across multiple clouds and hybrid environments.
In this webinar, Yitzy Tannenbaum, Product Marketing Manager at AlgoSec, will illuminate security-policy issues in multi-cloud and hybrid environments and show you how to achieve:
• Visibility across the multi-cloud network topology to ensure deployment of security controls that support network-segmentation architecture
• Uniform security policy across complex multi-cloud and hybrid environments
• Automatic monitoring of multi-cloud and hybrid network-security configuration changes to analyze and
assess risk and to avoid compliance violations
• Instant generation of audit-ready reports for major regulations, including PCI, HIPAA, SOX and NERC, in the context of multi-cloud environments
• Automatic provisioning of application connectivity flows across a variety of security controls in hybrid environments

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. • What you need to know about the upcoming PCI-DSS version 3.2
• How to ensure your network is compliant now, and maintains
continuous compliance
• Identifying the latest vulnerabilities and assessing risk before the
auditor does
• How to reduce the scope of your audit, and instantly generate audit-
ready reports
• PCI and the cloud
TOPICS COVERED
3. SSL AND EARLY TLS
• The cryptography behind https://server.name.here
• 2014, 2015: run of attacks against SSL 2.0, 3.0. and TLS 1.0
• “Heartbleed”, “FREAK”, “POODLE”, “Logjam” …
Industry consensus: SSL (all versions), TLS 1.0 “broken
beyond repair”
4. PCI RESPONSE
PCI-DSS 3.1 (April 2015):
“SSL and early TLS are not considered strong
cryptography”..“cannot be used as a security
control after June 30, 2016”
5. SWITCH TO TLS 1.1 / 1.2 ?
• All modern browsers have supported TLS 1.2 for several
years:
• Chrome - v30
• Firefox - v27
• Internet Explorer - v11
• Opera - v17
• Safari - v5 on iOS, v7 on OS X
• All modern libraries and web-server platforms support TLS
1.2 for several years
……So switching to TLS 1.2 is easy, right?
7. CHECK THE MIDDLEWARE
TLS is not only used by browsers and web servers:
• Machine-to-machine web-service API communication
• SOAP / REST / etc.
• Web-page “scraping” utilities
• Automatic testing platforms
• E-Mail servers and E-mail clients
• Embedded web-servers inside devices
• May need to be upgraded to a TLS-1.2-compatible version
Bottom line: Switch to TLS 1.2 requires testing – and time
8. COMING UP IN PCI 3.2
• PCI-DSS 3.2 scheduled for publication at the end of April
• draft already available to members
• PCI-DSS 3.1 will be retired Oct 2016
• Extending the migration [to TLS 1.1/1.2] date to 30 June
2018
Don’t Wait!
9. WHAT ELSE IS IN PCI 3.2?
From PCI blog:
• “PCI DSS is a mature standard now” “doesn’t require as
significant updates as we have seen in the past” (PCI Blog)
From PCI-DSS 3.2 draft:
• New appendix A.1 for hosting providers
• Deadline for TLS 1.1/1.2 offering: 30 June 2016
• New appendix A.2 focusing on SSL/TLS
• Other minor changes
