Complete Visibility and Automation in Banking

Customer

A Germany-based IT service provider delivering tools and applications for a large group of banks. The company manages complex, hybrid network environments across multiple locations and vendors.

Needs

The customer required a centralized solution to:

Manage a large number of firewalls from different vendors and locations.

Track and control all network changes in real time.

Build a transparent, automated workflow for approving network changes — without exposing critical banking applications or processes to security risks.

Challenges

The customer faced a highly complex IT landscape:

Diverse hybrid environments across multiple banks made network management and policy alignment difficult.

Lengthy change approval processes and manual change tracking slowed down operations.

Compliance and audit requirements added additional administrative overhead.

Multiple firewall and network vendors required deep expertise in various technologies — from on-premises firewalls to cloud infrastructure.

Manual network mapping in each bank consumed significant time and resources.

Solution: AlgoSec Security Management Suite

To address these challenges, the company implemented the AlgoSec Security Management Suite, including:

AlgoSec FireFlow
Automates application connectivity and security policy changes, ensuring compliance from planning to validation.
AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer
Discovers, maps, and optimizes security policies across firewalls and network devices, simplifying troubleshooting and audits.
AlgoSec Cloud
Provides full visibility and control over hybrid and multi-cloud environments, ensuring compliance and minimizing misconfigurations.
AlgoSec AppViz & AppChange
Automatically discover and map application connectivity, accelerating deployment and secure decommissioning.

Together, these solutions automated key processes, unified management across environments, and simplified compliance.
