Welcome to Algo

About the AlgoSec chatbot versions

Unlike AlgoBot, which runs as a standalone assistant, AlgoSec Algo connects directly to the AlgoSec SaaS environment, enabling access to live product data, content, and workflows. It also offers enhanced reasoning, improved memory for ongoing projects, and greater adaptability to specialized use cases.

If you prefer a fully local, independent experience without SaaS connectivity, AlgoBot remains the best choice for now. See Welcome to AlgoBot.

Note: Algo is currently available as Tech Preview for customers that register via our Algo page on the portal. Algo requires connection to the AlgoSec SaaS environment.

Algo is available in the us-east-1, ap-south-1, ap-southeast-2, eu-central-1 regions. Algo is available for ASMS A33.10+.

AlgoSec Algo is your AI-powered security policy management assistant. It delivers fast, natural-language access to core ASMS functionality directly in Microsoft Teams—on desktop, web, or mobile—so you can stay in your workflow without switching tools.

Algo builds upon its predecessor's capabilities, offering more intuitive interactions, broader integration with AlgoSec's ecosystem, and enhanced natural language processing to better understand and execute user requests. Whether you're a network administrator, security analyst, or C-level executive, Algo is designed to simplify your workflow and improve your organization's security posture.

Seamlessly integrated with AlgoSec ASMS, Algo lets you interact with select topics through simple chat prompts. From simulating traffic to submitting change requests or retrieving user and device data, Algo gives you instant answers right in Teams.

Algo is seamlessly integrated with FireFlow, allowing users to submit and manage security policy changes.

Note: Algo uses the templates defined in FireFlow. For more information. see Manage Request Templates).

  • Creating Traffic Change Requests: Users can create requests to allow or deny specific network traffic. Example prompts include:
    • "Create a change request to allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the marketing department to the new web server."

    • "I need to set up a rule to block all outgoing FTP traffic from the guest network. Can you create a change request for that?"

  • Creating Rule Removal Requests: Users can create rule removal requests specifically for firewalls. Example prompts include:
    • "Create a rule removal request to delete rule IDs 100 and 101 on the main firewall."

    • "I need to disable rules 50 through 55 on the DMZ firewall. Can you submit a rule removal request for this?"

  • Checking Status: Users can query the system to retrieve information regarding the status of Traffic and Rule Removal change request.

2. Traffic and Connectivity Analysis

  • Traffic Simulation Queries (TSQ): Algo can perform Traffic Simulation queries to analyze potential network flows and understand how current firewall rules would handle the traffic. Example prompts include:
    • "Simulate traffic from the internal network to the web server using HTTPS."

    • "Run a traffic simulation query for all SSH connections from the admin subnet to the database servers."

Note: Traffic simulation queries rely on prior completion of the relevant device analysis.

  • User Management: (For administrators only) Algo can retrieve information about users and summarize user data, such as counting administrators or listing email addresses. Example prompts include:
    • "Can you list all the email addresses of LDAP users in the system?"

    • "How many administrators are there in total, and what are their full names?"

  • Device Information: Algo can retrieve and summarize information about firewalls and other network devices, providing insights into device types and brands. Example prompts include:
    • "How many Check Point firewalls do we have in our environment?"

    • "Can you list all the different types of network devices we have in our system?"
