Tufin is a Tel Aviv-based security policy management company founded in 2005 that specializes in the automation of security policy changes across hybrid platforms and security and compliance.[1] 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, after which the company went private.[2][3]

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]
