Tufin is a security policy management company specializing in the automation of security policy changes across hybrid platforms and security and compliance. The Tufin Orchestration Suite supports next-generation firewalls, network layer firewalls, routers, network switches, load balancers, web proxies, private and public cloud platforms and micro-services.
On August 25, 2022, Turn/River Capital completed the acquisition of Tufin. [1]
History
Prior to its 2019 initial public offering, Tufin was privately funded since its establishment. [2]
On April 6, 2022, Tufin announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by software-focused investment firm Turn/River Capital. The agreement valued the company at $570 million and was an all-cash deal. Since the closing of the transaction, Tufin is a private company. [3]
Products
Tufin develops and markets the Tufin Orchestration Suite [4] which consists of:
- SecureTrack: Firewall Operations Management, Auditing and Compliance [5]
- SecureChange: Security Change Automation [6]
- SecureApp: Application Connectivity Management [7]
- SecureCloud: Hybrid Cloud Security [8]
The company releases updates to Tufin Orchestration Suite each quarter. [9]
The Suite is designed for large enterprises, along with managed security service providers (MSSP) and IT security auditors. [10] Tufin products help security teams implement and maintain their security policy on all of their firewalls, routers and network switches. [11] They accelerate service delivery through network change automation and expedite the process of compliance audits for security standards such as PCI DSS, NERC and Sarbanes Oxley. [12] Tufin products also help companies to manage and automate the daily configuration changes to network security devices. [13]
Innovation
Tufin's innovation includes several technologies, such as the Automatic Policy Generator which refines security rules based on network traffic, [14] methods for automating security policy management [15] and the concept of managing network security policies from an application scope. [16] Tufin's core technology is protected by multiple US patents. [17] [18]
Partnerships
Other network security vendors provide operations management, auditing and change automation for Tufin products. Tufin technology partners include Check Point, Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper Networks, McAfee, Palo Alto Networks, [19] Stonesoft, [20] F5 Networks, [21] VMware, Zscaler, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, BMC, ServiceNow, Puppet Labs and others.
