LEVEL
01
Manual control
AlgoSec’s central visibility capability is in place without any policy management solutions. All policy changes and processes are done manually by SecOps. Security operators are implementing policy changes through various existing tools, driven by the valuable insights gained from the Firewall Analyzer. These insights encompass a comprehensive understanding of security estate policies, applications, and associated risks.
LEVEL
02
Assisted control
Basic policy management solution provides structured workflow that enables SecOps to effectively plan, carry out, and approve the changes. The Policy Management Solution with FireFlow facilitates structured, audited workflow for executing changes, enabling operators to efficiently plan and carry out all tasks. Within this workflow, the evaluation and approval of risks are seamlessly integrated.
LEVEL
03
Partial automation
Policy management solution provides planning recommendations, while SecOps validate, carry out, and approve the changes. The Policy Management Solution provides valuable support in the planning process by offering intelligent recommendations regarding the methods for implementing changes. Operators can then focus on task validation and authorization with confidence.
LEVEL
04
Conditional automation
Policy management solution provides assistance, while SecOps validate & authorize all tasks. The Policy Management Solution streamlines provisioning up to the firewall level by providing a network plan and recommendations for rule and object modifications. This empowers operators to concentrate on task validation and authorization.
LEVEL
05
High automation
Policy management solution automatically implements low-risk policy changes, freeing up SecOps to work on critical tasks. The Solution automatically implements low-risk policy changes as per a customized risk profile, freeing up operators to focus on critical tasks. Furthermore, the Policy Management Solution offers the flexibility of integrating with external solutions.
LEVEL
06
Very high automation
Policy management solution autonomously provisions low-risk scenarios with zero intervention. SecOps assist in unique environments or cases. The Policy Management Solution efficiently processes change requests from application owners, autonomously provisioning low-risk scenarios with zero intervention. Operators are then available to provide support in specialized environments or for unique cases
