AlgoSec's products enable organizations to gain visibility, reduce risk, and process change at zero-touch across the hybrid network. This is accomplished by automating the management and enforcement of security policies across firewalls, routers, virtual private networks (VPNs), and related security devices. Enterprises use AlgoSec's products to manage the configuration of their security systems, identify vulnerabilities, test the systems against their security policies,[3] reduce administrative costs,[4] and ensure compliance to regulations such as PCI-DSS and Sarbanes-Oxley.[5]

According to the company, AlgoSec’s application-centric view of the hybrid network enables business owners, application owners, and information security professionals to speak the same language, so organizations can deliver business applications faster while achieving a heightened security posture.[6]

History

AlgoSec's core technology was developed in 2001 by Prof. Avishai Wool and his team of researchers at Bell Laboratories. Prof. Wool teamed up with Yuval Baron to found AlgoSec in November 2004.[7] At that time, the company was headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

In 2010, AlgoSec moved its headquarters and North American sales office to Roswell, Georgia (Atlanta area). In 2012, AlgoSec moved its headquarters to Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. Today, in addition to its Boston office, AlgoSec has sales offices in London and Singapore, and a Research and Development Center in Petah Tikva, Israel and London.

In 2020, the company signed a partnership agreement with Cisco.[8]

AlgoSec's customers include enterprises, managed service providers, auditors, and consultants throughout the world.[9]
