Algosec

What Algosec does

AlgoSec Inc. is a US-based private cybersecurity company founded in 2003/2004 and headquartered in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. The company provides AI-powered, application-centric network security policy management for hybrid environments spanning on-premises datacenters and public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). AlgoSec serves over 2,300 organizations globally, including 20 of the Fortune 50, with vertical emphasis on finance, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, and government. The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise field sales motion and a 'Request a demo' engagement model, supplemented by a channel partner program anchored by a Cisco Solutions Plus relationship (products available via Cisco's Global Price List) and distribution agreements with Arrow Electronics and Solid8 Technologies.

The company's product portfolio is organized around the AlgoSec Horizon Platform and comprises two principal product lines. The AlgoSec Security Management Suite (ASMS) bundles Horizon Security Analyzer (visibility and risk assessment), Horizon FireFlow (zero-touch automated policy change management), Horizon AppViz (AI-driven application discovery and visualization), Horizon ObjectFlow (network object management), and the Algo AI-powered security assistant. AlgoSec Cloud Enterprise (Horizon ACE) extends these capabilities to multi-cloud environments with over 150 cloud-specific risk checks. The 2022 acquisition of Prevasio added cloud-native application protection capabilities (CSPM, Kubernetes container security, IaC scanning, microsegmentation) plus AI technology originally developed at Stanford Research Institute. A patented application-centric view of the hybrid network abstracts infrastructure complexity by associating connectivity flows with specific business applications.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual subscription licensing of the Horizon platform and modules, with supplementary revenue from professional services, resident engineer programs, training, certification, and support. The platform supports a broad compliance footprint covering PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, NERC CIP, GDPR, ISO 27001, SWIFT CSCF, NIS2, CIS Baseline, and the Australian Government's IRAP Protected framework. Since its last disclosed funding round of $36M from Claridge Israel in January 2018, AlgoSec has operated as an independent private company, reporting record 37% year-over-year new business growth and gross dollar retention exceeding 90% in 2025.
