Blockbit launches the first virtual assistant with AI that automates Firewall and SD-WAN configurations
Blockbit AI is expected to reduce customer operating costs by up to 50 %, optimizing time and increasing the efficiency of cybersecurity operations .
Blockbit , a leading cybersecurity product company , has announced the launch of Blockbit AI , the world ’ s first virtual assistant that automates firewall and SD-WAN configuration with natural language interactions .
The solution uses AI and Machine Learning ( ML ) technologies and was developed by Blockbit to further simplify the management of its products . Blockbit AI enables direct user interaction through an interface that understands , interprets and generates natural language responses , mimicking a human conversation .
Blockbit AI performs real tasks directly on the products , acting as a cybersecurity analyst available 24 hours a day . Through a simple and natural interaction , company teams talk to Blockbit AI and request , in real time , to perform configurations , analyses and other actions , which are automatically performed on the products .
Blockbit ’ s goal with this launch is to reduce the operating cost of its customers by optimizing the time of specialized professionals , in addition to improving the effectiveness in the use of products and further improving the user experience . With Blockbit AI , it is possible to configure the firewall or SD-WAN automatically , without necessarily knowing the product in depth or even understanding firewalls .
Blockbit AI ’ s mission is to facilitate security management and create more accessible cybersecurity to the market . In addition , this automation seeks to promote the elimination of errors , avoiding human error and ensuring more accurate configurations .
“ Blockbit AI emerges as a strategic and effective response to help companies automate security configurations and improve the analysis of their networks ,
increasing the productivity of their team and strengthening their defenses ,” said Marcos Eurico , Director of Support at Blockbit .
According to the executive , the technology is expected to reduce customers ’ operating costs by up to 50 %, which represents significant savings in time and resources for companies that use Blockbit ’ s solutions . The agility and accuracy of the system ensure that companies maintain a secure environment , without interruptions or delays for new configuration implementations , and without the need for manual technical interventions .
Blockbit AI is available to all of the company ’ s customers and its use occurs in three stages : first , the user asks the question , performs an automated analysis , or requests an action . Then , the chat confirms with the customer if that action should be taken . The system guides the user with the right questions and can also carry out this configuration process in stages , ensuring that any changes are made with total control and safety . After authorization , the configuration is automatically applied and the user can follow the step-by-step adjustments on their screen .
The solution also performs an analysis of what has been implemented in the digital environment , comparing it with the previous configuration to indicate possible vulnerabilities and suggestions of what can be done for improvements . The ability to view and track all actions performed by Blockbit ’ s virtual assistant provides an additional layer of protection and accountability , ensuring that policies and procedures are being followed properly , transparently and reliably . •
