CA is streamlining these essential security tasks by implementing AFA. This new analyzer will also help to ensure consistent implementation of security policies across CA’s enterprise computing environment. As a result, CA will reduce risk while allowing staff time to be spent to more strategic projects.

AlgoSec provides automatically populated compliance reports for PCI DSS, SOX and ISO 27001.

 

"We are pleased that a leading IT management company like CA has selected the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer to reduce risk and minimize clutter by automating their firewall and router audit process," said Aimee Rhodes, vice president of marketing at AlgoSec.

 

"With the AFA in place, CA's security and IT personnel can instantly gain critical insight into their firewall and router configurations, allowing them to remain secure and compliant while optimizing their operations,” added Rhodes.
