Tufin Leverages its Open Architecture, the Tufin Open
Platform (TOP), to Automate Policy Management Across an Extensive
Set of Network and Security Devices
November 9, 2009 - Tufin Technologies, the award-winning
provider of Security Lifecycle Management solutions, today
announced it has released a set of 12 plugins, extending support of
its robust solution set to a wider set of network devices.
Showcasing the value and utility of Tufin's open extensible
architecture, the Tufin Open Platform (TOP), Tufin has released
plugins for switches and routers from industry leaders including
Cisco, Juniper and HP. By extending Tufin's comprehensive,
automated change tracking, in-depth security policy optimization,
and built-in compliance reports across heterogeneous network
infrastructures, Tufin enables organizations to cost-effectively
manage network security policy, eliminate manual, error prone
processes, comply with regulatory standards, and minimize IT risk.
Supporting the broadest set of network infrastructure, Tufin
continues to demonstrate its ability to innovate and successfully
execute on its vision for Security Lifecycle Management.
"Firewall Policy Management functions are only part of the
solution when controlling access to sensitive zones within the
corporate infrastructure." said Eric Ogren, principal analyst of
the Ogren Group. "Access policies that are enforced by high speed
switches and routers need to cooperate, and be consistent with
firewall rules for effective management of a secure network.
Tufin's approach of converging analysis of leading network and
security devices can help enterprises control dynamic networks for
compliance and security."

automating policy management across the entire network," said Shaul
Efraim, vice president of Products, Business Development and
