Technology
Built to make network security manageable for large organizations, the company's technology analyzes and maps network topology and security policies, automates configuration changes, enforces a global security policy, and ensures continuous compliance across virtual and physical hybrid networks.
The Suite is designed for large enterprises as well as managed security service providers (MSSP) and IT security auditors.[8] Tufin products help security teams to implement and maintain their security policy on all of their firewalls, routers and network switches.[9] 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.[10] Tufin products also help companies to manage and automate the daily configuration changes to network security devices.[11]
The Tufin Orchestration Suite is vendor agnostic, providing integrations with network, ticketing, and security vendors as well as REST APIs.
Innovation
Tufin's innovation includes several technologies such as the Automatic Policy Generator which refines security rules based on network traffic,[12] methods for automating security policy management[13] and the concept of managing network security policies from an application scope.[14] Tufin's core technology is protected by multiple US patents.[15][16]
