• Automatically push network-wide policy changes with AppChange
  AlgoSec’s new AppChange add-on is available in A30, which automatically updates network security policy changes on all relevant devices across the entire hybrid enterprise network, realizing significant time savings for IT and security teams and eliminating manual errors.

• Security zone enhancements
  AlgoSec security management A30 enables teams to easily visualize network security zones, and to select risk profiles for each zone to support decision-making for both application owners and security managers. This makes application provisioning and deployment easier, and accelerates planning and implementing network micro-segmentation strategies to enhance security network-wide.
