INTRODUCTION

Today’s organizations operate in modern-day hybrid (read: complex) networks, are
highly reliant on applications and have huge application estates. To deliver
value, these applications rely on uninterrupted connectivity and complex
connectivity flows. It’s almost impossible to achieve such connectivity using
manual methods.

What enterprises need is an easier way to discover, provision, change, and
decommission application and network connectivity, while maintaining a strong
security and compliance posture. Here’s where application connectivity
management solutions like AlgoSec come in.

In an internet-connected, multi-cloud/hybrid cloud world, application
connectivity is not optional, but essential. Today, all applications require
reliable and continuous connectivity, whether they are used by end users (e.g.,
via an API) or by one or more back-end services.

But to ensure such connectivity, network and security teams must discover
applications, provision network traffic, and understand and map connectivity
flows across their complex enterprise environment. They must also identify and
block obsolete traffic flows that may be backdoored to unwanted or malicious
traffic. Only then can they quickly and securely provision, update, and
decommission connectivity for all their business applications.

However, if they perform these activities manually, it may slow down application
deployment and expose the company to security risks and compliance violations.
Manual operations also increase network complexity and lead to disruptions and
errors. None of these situations are acceptable in today’s dynamic business
climate.

An automated application analyzer and connectivity solution like AlgoSec can
reduce complexities and accelerate application delivery, even when business
requirements are rapidly changing. It can also prevent network-related outages,
and consistently enforce enterprise-wide security and compliance policies.


COMMON CHALLENGES IN APPLICATION CONNECTIVITY MANAGEMENT

Recently, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) in partnership with AlgoSec
conducted research on application connectivity security and management. The
research report, named Deconstructing Application Connectivity Challenges in a
Complex Cloud Environment, highlights the various pain points organizations
commonly face around application connectivity security and risk management.

One pain point is the lack of a single source of truth regarding application
risk, which forces businesses to use multiple methods to gather this
information. Consequently, risk management for application connectivity becomes
very complicated and hard to manage.

Another challenge is human error, which often leads to application outages and
downtime. And human error is unfortunately all too common. In fact, human error
was responsible for 52% of application outages that organizations experienced in
2022. Third, inadequate visibility into cloud environments and connectivity
requirements ends up compromising network security and creating risk and
compliance gaps for the enterprise.

In addition to security challenges, organizations also struggle to ensure
connectivity across complex environments. It gets even harder when there’s not
enough documentation about application flows. Additionally, it’s challenging to
translate business requirements for connectivity into practical terms that
security and operations teams can securely implement.

Automated connectivity management platforms like AlgoSec can eliminate these
common and persistent challenges to streamline application discovery and
simplify connectivity management.

THE BENEFITS OF USING INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION IN APPLICATION CONNECTIVITY
MANAGEMENT

Integrating an application connectivity management solution that provides
intelligent automation, into the network infrastructure, enables enterprises to
securely and effectively commission, connect, and decommission applications
across the enterprise. It reduces the effort and cost of manual connectivity
mapping and provides greater visibility and control over the application
ecosystem.

With intelligent automation, organizations can:

 * Accelerate and optimize application connectivity
 * Speed up service delivery
 * Streamline network operations
 * Monitor security and compliance posture
 * Maintain business continuity

The platform sits at the intersection of enterprise infrastructure,
applications, workloads, and security policies, enabling organizations to
balance application delivery speeds, security, and compliance.

Here’s a detailed look at the benefits of automated application connectivity
management:


FASTER APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT

Many modern applications are complex, with distributed architectures and support
for multiple user roles and permissions levels. As a result, application
deployment is often a slow and cumbersome process, which lengthens the
deployment cycle and causes unnecessary delays.

Organizations functioning in dynamic environments and pursuing digital
transformation must move quickly with application deployment. That’s why they
need an easier way to understand connectivity requirements, map connectivity
flows, and manage provisioning. An automated platform simplifies all these tasks
to accelerate application delivery with minimal errors and security issues.


EFFORTLESS NETWORK POLICY CHANGES

With an automated connectivity management platform, there’s no need to
understand the network topology or firewall configurations to implement policy
changes. Instead, application teams can simply define application components and
the relationships between them to specify the required connections. Once this is
done, the platform converts the required application changes into networking
terms that enable the team to design and implement all required network changes.


IMPROVED VISIBILITY INTO THE APPLICATION ESTATE

An application connectivity solution automatically discovers applications and
generates an up-to-date connectivity map to improve visibility into the entire
app ecosystem. By “listening” to the network and associating connectivity flows
with specific applications, the solution provides an application-centric view of
the network and abstracts infrastructure complexity.

Improved visibility and observability enable network teams to better manage
application connectivity across the environment, regardless of whether it
contains on-premises networks, public clouds, private clouds, containers, or
some combination of all four. They can also understand how changes in one
application can affect other applications by defining and maintaining
dependencies between them. The platform raises an alert if a change might impact
application availability, so application teams can act quickly to prevent
non-availability.


STRONGER SECURITY ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE

Improved visibility and control over the application estate allow teams to
enforce and manage security and compliance policies across the enterprise. They
can mitigate risk by automating security policies across every stage of the app
development lifecycle, from code analysis and build, to monitoring and
reporting.

The best-automated platforms also provide:

 * “Zero-touch change automation”, which makes it easy to plan and execute
   application connectivity and security changes across all security groups
 * Full integration with existing enterprise security stacks (SIEM,
   vulnerability scanners, etc.) to provide more robust, holistic security
   across the enterprise

What are some of the other key requirements for achieving and securely managing
application connectivity, especially when your data is widely distributed? Our
webinar Secure Application Connectivity with Automation answers this question.


AUDIT-READY REPORTS HELP MAINTAIN A STRONG COMPLIANCE POSTURE

With automation, organizations can quickly identify compliance gaps and also
assess the impact of changes on the compliance posture. Audit-ready reports will
show which applications or security policies are non-compliant so the relevant
teams can take appropriate action to bring the enterprise back into compliance.

Furthermore, a platform like AlgoSec ensures that business, application,
security, and network teams are all aligned on application connectivity
requirements and current status. Such alignment helps improve collaboration,
minimizes mistakes, and keeps everyone on the same page with respect to
connectivity requirements, status, and compliance.


EASY APPLICATION DECOMMISSIONING

With a platform like AlgoSec, it’s easy to identify and remove network access
rules for decommissioned applications. Without the platform, decommissioning can
be both difficult and prone to security risks. The solution automatically
identifies the policy rules that must be changed or removed. It thus ensures
that no unnecessary rules or objects remain and that no cybersecurity gaps which
may result in a breach are left behind.

Some of the other key benefits of the AlgoSec platform are:

 * Auto-discovery of applications and connectivity flows
 * Real-time and continually-up-to-date map of connectivity requirements and
   flows
 * Automated translation of non-technical business requirements into networking
   terms
 * Easy assessment of the impact of network configuration changes on application
   connectivity, security, and compliance
 * Intuitive, easy-to-use workflows enabling easy connectivity migrations to a
   new on-prem data center or the cloud
 * Optimized traffic flows and improved firewall performance
 * Prevention of application outages due to network device misconfigurations


APPLICATION CONNECTIVITY MANAGEMENT VS. NETWORK SECURITY POLICY MANAGEMENT
(NSPM)

NSPM software enables organizations to enforce policies related to the control
and security of network environments. With NSPM tools, IT teams and network
administrators can audit their enterprise networks and streamline the design and
enforcement of security policies. They can also document policy changes, monitor
policy compliance, and automate security and compliance operations.

That said, NSPM platforms cannot help businesses to discover applications or
manage their connectivity. Application discovery and connectivity management are
critical for modern organizations. Simply focusing on firewall policies instead
of the applications that run the business can cause serious business disruptions
and downtime. That’s why, for delivering applications quickly and securely, an
application-centric approach is the best approach. Here’s where a connectivity
management solution like AlgoSec comes in.

Such a solution intelligently automates application connectivity across the
entire network estate, even if it consists of multi-cloud, on-prem, and hybrid
networks. It also automates security policy implementation and changes across
the estate to save time and prevent misconfigurations and other errors.
Furthermore, it ensures that the policy is part of the application delivery
pipeline, thus preventing “broken links” in the chain and enhancing enterprise
agility and security.

Unlike traditional NSPM solutions that only provide visibility into the network
posture; connectivity management platforms visualize the entire network and
application connectivity to provide more holistic, application-centric security.
Also, these platforms can easily adapt to application intent and traffic, and
provide simple application-focused recertification. These capabilities
differentiate them from NSPM tools that rely on policy rules and require
labor-intensive rule recertification.

Furthermore, automated connectivity management platforms like AlgoSec empower
businesses to deliver applications quickly and securely, while understanding
which applications expose them to compliance violations and security risks. All
in all, such platforms provide a complete solution to deliver secure application
connectivity and enforce compliant security policies across the hybrid
network/application estate.
