RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - AlgoSec, the leading provider of firewall
operations and security risk management solutions, today announced that
former Check Point Software Technologies executive Dan Sarel has joined its
advisory board. Sarel's extensive experience will help AlgoSec further
expand its client base through its unique ability to provide firewall
management solutions for enterprises across verticals.
"AlgoSec is at the forefront of the rapidly growing firewall management
market," said Sarel. "I am delighted to be part of the team ensuring that
the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer (AFA) will remain the leading solution
organizations select to audit, analyze, optimize and secure their
firewalls."
Sarel was previously director of product management at Check Point where he
oversaw all enterprise products. He now serves as vice president of
products at Sentrigo, an innovator in security software that monitors
database activity and protects sensitive information in real time. Sarel
also has held a number of product management, marketing and consulting

"Dan has an excellent track record of helping to develop highly successful
companies in this market and we're thrilled to have him join our advisory
board," said Yuval Baron, CEO of AlgoSec. "His experience in promoting

and cost effectively manage their complex and changing firewall

Enterprises across the globe use the AFA to receive unparalleled
visibility, analysis and intelligence into their firewall configurations to
audit, manage and mitigate their exposure to risk while optimizing IT
operations.
The AFA's software solution provides continuous automated audit offline. It
is non intrusive and easy to deploy. It allows security and networking
team members to query firewall configurations prior to implementing
changes, including firewall conversion projects where an enterprise opts to
migrate from one vendor to another, to ensure business continuity and
desired results. It also offers "what if" analyses to view what impact
changes will have on an organization's operation and security posture. It
provides turn-key compliance solutions for PCI DSS, SOX and other key
standards.
AFA supports major enterprise platforms including: Check Point (Provider-1,
SmartCenter, VPN-1/Firewall-1 on all OSs and hardware platforms), Cisco
firewalls (PIX, ASA and FWSM), Cisco routers and Juniper Netscreen.
