?We will provide customized solutions with Algosec's security policy management solution.

Kudo Communications announced that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with AlgoSec, a leading global network security infrastructure provider, and will strengthen its presence in the public, financial, and corporate markets.

AlgoSec's security policy management solutions, including AlgoSec BusinessFlow, AlgoSec FireFlow, and AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer, are focused on simplifying and automating security policies to accelerate application delivery while ensuring security in virtualized, cloud, and physical environments. The benefits include: ▲non-disruptive application connectivity; ▲integrated security management across heterogeneous cloud, software-defined, and on-premise environments; ▲automated firewall change management and eliminated configuration errors; ▲reduced firewall audit time and cost by more than 80%; and ▲enhanced cyberattack blocking capabilities.

“Now is the time to think business-centrically, and security needs to be centered on algorithms,” said Tak Jeong-su, CEO of AlgoSec. “AlgoSec provides business-centric security policy management to bridge the gap between network/security operations teams and business application development and operations teams, and to improve business agility. He emphasized, “Through cooperation with Kudo Communications, we will continue to discover domestic customer demands and provide active support.”

Kim Yong-sik, CEO of Kudo Communication, said, “With this strategic partnership agreement, we will provide more effective security policy application and optimal customized security solutions tailored to customer needs by linking AlgoSec’s excellent network security infrastructure solution with various equipment such as Palo Alto Networks, ForeScout, and iJex, which Kudo Communication supplies as a distributor.” He also said, “We are also expanding our distribution network by securing new partners and preparing various partner support programs.”

Through this agreement, the two companies will continue to conduct various marketing activities, such as educational seminars and promotions, both online and offline, targeting customers and partners, to actively support AlgoSec’s domestic business expansion. Sales training will be conducted monthly, and technical training every other month, and special promotions are also being carried out to support partners.
