AlgoSec Scalability

Vice President Head of Information Security at Itaú
Scalability is not something that I have had to concern myself with right now.
Currently, we have five people who use it to either tune the rules or find out answers to questions about the network and flows.
View full review »Scalability is favorable since the solution is actively being developed. Specifically, for firewall perspectives, scalability is satisfactory.

The scalability is easy, just add more licenses if needed, then turn up another virtual machine. It is pretty straightforward.
There will probably be a dozen of us actually utilizing AlgoSec. This will mainly be the network and security team, then the security team themselves.

While we haven't tested it extensively, it has the capability to scale. We currently use it to manage eleven firewalls and nine routers. It has the ability to expand by adding more CPUs and memory.

The scalability seems very good. I haven't seen any restrictions if we were to bring in other hardware or other devices in terms of how to scale it out, either size-wise or vendor-wise.
We have our network group, which we use AlgoSec for, for investigating the risks, configuration issues and things like that. The security group uses it for risk ratings and compliance verification. Then we have a separate group, which is a different group of security that uses it for the firewall validation process. They're the ones that use it on a daily basis to investigate any firewall changes and tie those back to the original request and validate that they were implemented properly.

- The scalability is available via:
- High-Availability. AlgoSec appliances can be clustered for fault tolerance, ensuring availability if system components fail.
- Disaster Recovery. AlgoSec appliances can automatically synchronize data with offsite appliances to provide redundancy and ensure data preservation in the event of a failure at the primary site.
- Geographically Distributed Architecture. AlgoSec appliances can be deployed across distributed sites for the local collection of logs and rulesets.
This data is then efficiently transmitted to a central appliance for processing.
- Load Sharing. AlgoSec appliances can be clustered to share data workloads across multiple appliances for faster data analysis and reporting.
Great.

Scalability in this case really depends on whether the customer is able to provide the resources or not. It requires resources including memory, RAM, and those sorts of things. From a software point of view, I'd say it is very scalable.

AlgoSec has multiple form factors such as a hardware appliance, VM appliance, and software. The customer can choose the most suitable solution for their environment. Further, AlgoSec has three main components and the customer can purchase them phase by phase, based on their requirements and budget. It can scale up to the total ASMS solution using the same resources.

Sulochana Edirisuriya

In terms of scalability, the maximum that I have tried with AlgoSec is six clusters. Its scalability is good. The way that we can work with it is good because with every device you can see everything on the same dashboard. If you want to check the monitoring, you can always select the device to see. You can check the status by clicking the device. It's the same structure. The scalability is good but I have only worked with a maximum of six clusters so I can't tell you exactly when it comes to a high number of hours, if it is good or bad, but for the six that I have worked with, it's good.
We do have plans to increase usage of AlgoSec. I have explained to some of the customers about the application integrations, the visibilities, and the rule-based optimizations by using this feature. In terms of features, I am expecting that they'll amend that component to their environment. Since we are a system integrating company, when we propose a solution for a particular customer, we always propose to do firewalls. Therefore, we always add AlgoSec. When we are proposing it, we always submit AlgoSec automatically.

Over the period of two years, we have seen multiple enhancements being made available inside the product. One of the new requirements is on containers/Docker/Kubernetes where AlgoSec really needs to focus. I am not sure about the availability of the latest support release, however, these are booming technologies and we require solutions like AlgoSec to support them.

Our deployments of AlgoSec are not large so we haven’t faced a scalability issue. The maximum AlgoSec deployment we’ve done is for about 100 endpoints and that is not a problem for AlgoSec.
View full review »Scalability seems to be one of the strongest points of this solution. Worldwide architecture with remote agents, or slave master architecture. Be careful in terms of how you will deal with the log management as to not impact your network. A distributed architecture can help.

The solution is very scalable and allows you to add all the firewalls and devices you need.
It is also scalable on the licensing as you can start by buying only the Firewall Analyzer license with which you can start onboarding all the devices and completing the network diagram so that Algosec's has the whole picture and know all the paths from network A to B.
After that you are ready to start using FireFlow and you can buy the license only when you are ready to start deploying it.
