Helps identify risks, reduce attack surfaces, and streamline policy changes
It allows organizations to identify risks, reduce attack surfaces, and streamline policy changes required to deploy or migrate applications safely and quickly. With ever-changing infrastructure and threats, keeping security policies optimized is extremely challenging. AlgoSec's continuous monitoring capabilities allow organizations to maintain proper controls and compliance coverage as the application landscape evolves. No longer are security changes made blindly. AlgoSec gives organizations the visibility and intelligence needed to make application connectivity changes confidently while managing risk and compliance. Having all these capabilities seamlessly integrated into one platform makes AlgoSec a powerful tool for digital transformation initiatives involving constant application change.
Sajid Mukhtar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a graphical overview of our network and is easy to deploy, but needs a user-friendly interface and a feature for compliance audit policy
Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus.
