## History

The company was founded in 2005 by Ruvi Kitov and Rueven Harrison and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2019.[4][5]

On April 6, 2022, Tufin announced 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. Following the sale's close, Tufin reverted to a private company.[2]
