1. AlgoSec Horizon

By AlgoSec

4.5
(220 Ratings)
We have been using Algosec on or company for more than 8 years now. Our main usage is to audit our firewall policies and get a daily report on all of them in case the report security rate for some reason drops (maybe someone added a firewall rule that has opened more accesses than it should). This helps us to have control on our firewalls and on the overall network security. It also helps us on our daily operations to understand if for example a flow from a specific source to a specific destination is already opened or not, by searching on the firewall policies using Algosec.
