Current Capabilities of AlgoBot 2.0

AlgoBot 2.0 builds upon its predecessor’s capabilities, offering enhanced natural language processing and broader integration with the AlgoSec ecosystem.

1. Change Requests and Workflow Management

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

• 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): AlgoBot 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."

3. User and Device Management

• User Management: (For administrators only) AlgoBot 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: AlgoBot 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?"
