ACL Manager: Take control of routers throughout your agency
Introducing ACL Manager, the solution for centrally managing thousands of router ACLs from a single software application.
ACL Manager runs on any Windows-compatible computer and can simultaneously deploy the exact same access list to multiple router and firewall platforms such as Cisco and Juniper. ACL Manager uses extremely efficient, proprietary algorithms and is rated for management of more than 100,000 access list entries in a single access list.
With ACL Manager, you don't have to be an expert in multiple brands of routers to manage your ACLs. ACL Manager is easy to use, requiring less than a day to learn. It is shipped on a single CD-ROM and enables you to be up and running within an hour. A tutorial and quick-start guide comes on the software installation CD. Up-to-the-minute information is always available online.
Features
- Save time and money in router ACL management
- Manage thousands of routers from a single application
- Minimize errors in ACL deployment
- Accurately update and deploy ACLs across your enterprise
- Strengthen network security with fine-tuned, granular access policies
- Easy to learn and use
Boost Network Security, Save Time and Money
- Set network policies quickly and easily: Even with hundreds or thousands of routers, each with its own security policy, you can minimize security vulnerability and manage risks through efficient, centralized ACL management.
- Fine-tune your network access policies: Cyber ACL Manager enables you to set specific, granular policies for which networks and people have access to network resources for optimal network security.
- Centrally manage router access and policies: Your top security experts can set, monitor, and enforce access policies.
- Cross-platforms: Cyber ACL Manager handles the translation to each device, making it ideal for networks using multiple makes of routers; operators don't need to learn intricate and widely varying device architectures for every make of router in use.
- Easy to use: The intuitive interface is designed to minimize mistakes, resulting in less downtime and less time spent on troubleshooting.
- Minimize network attacks: Precise access list management means that network attacks are less likely and collateral damage from attacks is reduced; forensic analysis and recovery costs are also reduced.
- Find network problems quickly: Troubleshooting features help operators identify problems quickly; fewer technician hours used and less overall downtime.
- Rollback feature: Lets you quickly return to a functional configuration in case a mistake is made.

Network operators for major federal and defense agencies must be able to manage access control quickly and smoothly in response to constantly changing security environments or military situations. And that means managing, modifying, and deploying access control lists (ACLs) for hundreds or even thousands of routers across networks and subnets throughout the enterprise.
In many cases, individual network groups maintain their devices using in-house programs and scripts. These processes are often error-prone and difficult to understand and manage. A single error can render router security strategy completely useless, leaving the network wide open while corrections are being made. And it can cost a tremendous amount of time and money to track down and fix the problem.
Router vendors also offer their own proprietary administrative software - but these cost tens of thousands of dollars each, and only work on that vendor's router. In heterogeneous router environments, that can be expensive and cumbersome.
