"As the leading provider of firewall analysis solutions, it was a natural
extension to broaden this analysis to explore VPN policy," said Dr. Avishai
Wool, AlgoSec co-founder and CTO. "As with firewall policy, VPN policy
configuration is based on rules, contains definitions of objects and has
time dependent characteristics. Enterprises that rely on a VPN gateway may
find that over time, VPN definitions become large, complex and hard to
manage. Adding users while creating and changing VPN rules increases the
complexity of the policy and could inject risk and hurt performance. We
enable them to improve their security and efficiency."
Some key technical features of the AlgoSec VPN Analyzer include:
-- VPN Rules -- view rules from the firewall policy that relate to the
VPN
-- User Groups -- view a list of VPN user groups, the users in each group
and the rules associated with each group
-- Users -- view a list of all VPN users, their authentication method,
the groups they belong to, expiration date and encryption characteristics
-- Communities -- view all the VPN communities linked to their firewalls,
their encryption characteristics and the rules associated with them
-- Expired Users -- view all users whose credentials have expired and can
no longer login anymore
-- Unattached User Groups -- view user groups that are not associated
with any rules
-- Unattached Users -- view users who are not associated with any rules
Through its off-line setup, the application is easy to deploy and use even
in the most complex firewall and VPN environments. Its detailed policy
analysis features, combined with an easy to navigate web GUI, provides
users with instant visibility into hidden risks in the VPN and firewall
policy, while offering administrators a rich set of capabilities to help
them reduce the large amount of time spent managing these devices. AlgoSec
Firewall Analyzer software is in use today at more than 200 enterprises
worldwide.
