AlgoSec has announced the release of A33.20, the latest version of its Security Management Solution, part of the AlgoSec Horizon platform.
This new version is designed to ease network security operations by enhancing visibility, control, and decision-making capabilities. The update comes as more organizations are anticipated to adopt a hybrid cloud strategy by 2027, a trend that is increasing the complexity of network environments and the need for efficient security management.
Enhanced Security Management for Hybrid Cloud
As hybrid cloud adoption grows, security teams face the challenge of handling complex, distributed networks under tight timelines.

Changes in security policies often need to be implemented quickly, which can lead to risks if done without proper visibility. AlgoSec’s A33.20 aims to address these issues by providing solutions that streamline operations and ensure compliance with evolving governance requirements.
Streamlining Security Tasks
According to Eran Shiff, Chief Product Officer at AlgoSec, "Security teams today are being asked to move faster than ever, but speed without clarity, especially across complex environments, creates risk. With A33.20, we’re removing unnecessary complexity and delays from change management by giving teams visibility and control across environments, helping them focus on the risks that truly matter to the business and making every change faster and more secure."
Key Features of A33.20
ASMS A33.20 focuses on four main areas to improve security management:
Simplifying Workflow and Execution
An AI-driven bot named Algo is introduced to automate repetitive tasks such as change ticket creation, risk analysis, and validation of application connectivity. This feature enhances communication across different stakeholders in their native language, facilitating better execution of security management tasks.
Increasing Visibility and Control
The update extends cloud policy support for platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Notably, it includes traffic simulation queries and impact analysis for Google Load Balancer and AWS native firewalls, while offering complete policy oversight for Palo Alto Networks NGFWs through Strata Cloud Manager.
Automating Security Changes
With FireFlow support for the Google Cloud Network Firewall Policy, A33.20 offers work order recommendations for traffic requests. Additionally, automation based on report analytics, such as Disabled Rules and Unused Rules reports, facilitates efficient remediation processes.
Aligning Risk and Compliance with Business Goals
A33.20 uniquely assesses risk and compliance concerning enterprise applications, prioritizing them based on their business value. The solution also includes out-of-the-box compliance assessments, adopting CIS Baseline for Palo Alto Networks, as well as NIS2 and SOC 2-mapped controls across supported vendors.
