AlgoSec Horizon A33.30 boosts cloud security automation

AlgoSec has released Horizon A33.30, extending its platform for securing application connectivity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The update broadens support for security management tools and cloud services, while expanding automation, compliance reporting and risk analysis for teams managing complex infrastructures.

Businesses are increasingly trying to manage application security across data centres, public and private clouds, software-defined networks, Kubernetes environments and software-as-a-service platforms. That sprawl has left many security teams relying on separate products and manual processes, slowing changes to application connectivity and making policy oversight harder.

Horizon A33.30 is designed to bring application, policy, risk and compliance information into a single operational view, helping teams govern application connectivity without relying on disconnected security products.

The release expands support for Check Point Smart-1 Cloud, including traffic simulation query and risk assessment functions. It also adds support for Palo Alto Networks Strata Cloud Manager, Azure Firewall automation, Google Cloud security services and AWS Network Firewall.

Broader automation

Alongside those integrations, Horizon A33.30 introduces more workflow automation to reduce manual policy management for security operations teams. The release includes new REST APIs, artificial intelligence-based natural language queries and user interface changes.

Many organisations still depend on manual processes for rule changes, reviews and policy checks. AlgoSec is positioning the update as a way to cut repetitive administrative work and reduce the risk of human error in change management.

The platform also includes application discovery, flow-level recertification, traffic simulation, impact analysis and policy automation. These features are intended to give security and networking teams greater visibility into application dependencies before they make network or policy changes.

That matters because a poor understanding of those dependencies can delay deployments or cause outages when changes are introduced into live environments. By mapping relationships between applications and the controls around them, teams can test likely effects before making updates.

Compliance focus

The release adds compliance reporting for NIS2 and updated frameworks for PCI DSS and SWIFT. It also includes expanded risk intelligence, customisable tag-based risk definitions and stronger analysis of cloud security settings.

Those additions reflect broader pressure on security teams to prove ongoing compliance rather than rely on periodic checks. Hybrid and multi-cloud estates can make that harder because controls are often distributed across several environments and administrative teams.

Horizon A33.30 is intended to support continuous identification, prioritisation and remediation of risk across those environments. It aims to link policy governance more closely with day-to-day operational changes, rather than treat compliance as a separate process.

Eran Shiff, Chief Product Officer at AlgoSec, outlined the company's position on the release.

"Security should never be the reason business slows down," Shiff said.

He added: "Today's enterprises don't need another point product - they need a unified platform that understands applications, business context and risk across every environment. Horizon enables organisations to replace fragmented security operations with intelligent automation, giving them the confidence to innovate faster while reducing operational complexity and cyber risk."

The launch comes as vendors across the cyber security market try to address the management burden created by hybrid estates and cloud migration. Rather than adding more standalone tools, many are framing their products around consolidation, workflow integration and policy governance across different infrastructure layers.

AlgoSec, which focuses on application-centric security management, says more than 2,300 organisations use its products. The platform is built to give application owners, security teams and cloud security staff visibility into connectivity, security policy and compliance issues across mixed network environments.

For customers already using several firewall and cloud security products, the practical test for Horizon A33.30 will be whether it can provide a coherent operating layer for policy changes and risk review without adding another management console to the stack.
