 When it comes to Network Security Policy Management (NSPM) – particularly as it pertains to firewalls – Tufin isn’t just one of the collective, but a top choice.

So Who(fin) is Tufin?  

 First off, yes, it’s pronounced “TOO-fin.” As for our story, it’s actually quite simple: we’re in the security policy management business.  

 How do we do it? Through automation; automation that manages security, compliance, and security policy changes across hybrid platforms. Our Tufin Orchestration Suite (TOS) supports a various array of firewalls, routers, network switches, public/private cloud infrastructures, and more.  And the core aspect of Tufin Orchestration Suite is to drive that better automation inside customers’ network operations stack. 

 If you’re a large enterprise, or if your organization has some complex operations/cloud security networks in place, Tufin’s solutions are tailored to fortify your network’(s’) security policies.   

 We’ve got a passion for network security, and that’s why Tufin Orchestration Suite manages security audits by automating and simplifying workloads for NetSec and CloudSec teams, ensuring they meet data protection regulations, comply with audits, and safeguard their organizations.  

Okay, now Why Tufin?  

 We firmly – and, yes, passionately – believe that a solution like Tufin Orchestration Suite’s centralized network security policy management solution is not simply a “nice to have” tool, but essential for every organization’s security posture and future success.   

 Sure, it’s a bold claim, but Tufin’s approach to elevating, securing, and optimizing network security may help provide some clarity. Below are a few special elements we bring to the table, particularly around automation and reducing overhead costs and complexity, empowering customers with the freedom to allocate resources into more future-focused and strategic initiatives.  

End-to-End Visibility, Insights, and Access Troubleshooting    

 In the cybersecurity world, we all know “looks” can be deceiving, and that’s why network visibility is a top priority. Tufin’s got it covered, end-to-end, along with access troubleshooting, equipping teams with the ability to manage access and correct misconfigurations and areas of failure effectively. And by having the broadest vendor support, Tufin is equipped with the most accurate topology map, providing legitimate – and unparalleled – end-to-end visibility. 

 Taking it to the Top of Network Topology  

Speaking of, did you know Tufin provides the most accuracy and best path analysis on the market when it comes to topology of firewalls, SD-WAN, SASE, and hybrid-cloud environments? Before you say “prove it,” we can tell you this has been accomplished on networks comprised of tens of thousands of network devices and 200M+ routes.      

Simplified Hybrid-Cloud Policy Management    

Rule sets and policies, while they are the lay of the network security land, can get a little crossed up and confusing for administrators. Tufin takes those concerns off the table, with a platform that simplifies hybrid-cloud policy management. The results for users? Consistent access rule set management across diverse vendor technologies and automated firewall rule management and recertification.   

Agile and Reliable Network Security Enforcement    

Speaking of automation, the backbone of Tufin’s technology, Tufin Orchestration Suite automates security risk and application access and decommissioning. What this provides for Tufin’s users is an accelerated incident response (particularly for cyberattacks), more effective network risk mitigation, and, a biggie: fast and secure application deployment and effective network security enforcement.  

Another constant in the information security world? Change. Tufin remains agile in this regard, too, providing fully customizable, out-of-the-box network security change automation workflows.     

Continuous Compliance Automation and Audit Readiness     

 Let’s face it: firewall audits and compliance have been a crucial and critical component to cloud and hybrid networks for some time, and regulatory entities (and potential attackers) are only getting more sophisticated. Tufin ensures your organization’s entire network infrastructure is always prepared, with continuous compliance automation and audit readiness. The unified security policy management interface will both reduce stress and give time back to your security team, providing quick proof of compliance without manual intervention.  

 Put another way: Tufin provides fully automated proactive compliance checks, with a fully documented change process. And that will save organizations time, money, and headspace. 

A Federated Approach  

 Tufin provides support to all major cloud vendors (e.g., Azure, Palo Alto, etc.) and underlying network technologies. You can check out the complete list here. 

 And sure, we’ll say it: Tufin also has at its disposal the largest range of partner integrations and ready-to-use APIs (e.g., Cisco, Fortinet, etc.). TL;DR, we are flexible to your environment (multi-vendor or otherwise) and business needs (and without service degradation). Yes, we are ready to work with your network! 

 And, as Cliche as it Sounds, That’s Not All 

 If you’ll allow us to talk about ourselves a little bit more, there are a couple more things we wanted to highlight. First, Tufin is the only Network Security Policy Management (NSPM) solution available that offers Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) support. (New to SASE? check out its benefits, ranging from simplifying network security, cost savings, enhanced UX, data protection, stronger network performance, and more granular visibility). 

 Tufin also is the only NSPM solution available that covers on-prem and cloud topology. 

Don’t Take Our Word For It  

We want you to see for yourself (without that icky vendor bias) why Tufin will make the most sense for your organization, so we’re tagging in some respected industry friends to share a little more about us.   

Forrester’s Total Economic Impact (TEI) report interviewed Tufin’s customers, and we’ll let those customers’ feedback speak for itself. Below are benefits our customers are seeing today:  

  • 94% reduction in the effort needed to analyze and implement network changes  

  • 85% decrease in effort needed for ongoing rule maintenance  

  • 95% improvement in audit response and reporting efficiency  

  • 75% reduction in effort for application connectivity management  

  • 80% reduction in risk of a breach due to vulnerabilities  

As one interviewed Tufin customer put it, ““The top benefit we’ve experienced with Tufin is speed, which means that we fit into the company’s agile vision.  If they want to deploy any application, all they have to do is access Tufin and make a request. Then, we can implement it in hours instead of weeks.” See more testimonials and feedback.   

Because You – And Your Organization’s Network – Are Worth It  

You want end-to-end network visibility. You want automated firewall policy management and risk mitigation. And you want it across an on-premises and/or hybrid cloud network. This all should be celebrated! You are making the right decisions for your organization and its security. The big question now is of course where – and how much – you allocate that investment. We hope the information above helps inform your organization’s next great decision.
