TSS 5.2 Increases the Benefits of Security Lifecycle
Management with Robust Topology Intelligence, Multi-Tenancy
Management, Strongest Vendor Support and Automatic Change
Verification
October 19, 2010 - Tufin Technologies,
the leading provider of Security Lifecycle Management solutions,
today announced version 5.2 of its award-winning Tufin Security
Suite (TSS) - the combined offering of SecureTrack, its firewall
operations, auditing and compliance product and SecureChange
Workflow, its security change automation product. Featuring new
network topology intelligence, multi-tenancy management, total
support for Juniper Networks JunOS firewalls, enhanced Fortinet
support, and automatic change verification, version 5.2 enables
organizations to automate network security policy and change
management at a much greater depth and breadth. As part of the
launch, Tufin is also announcing a custom solution for Managed
Security Service Providers (MSSPs), enabling MSSPs to increase
their service offerings and value-add to enterprise customers. More
detail on TSS 5.2 for MSSPs can be found in a
concurrent announcement issued today by Tufin.
Tufin's installed base of more than 600 customers report that
deploying TSS cuts the time and cost of firewall operations and
compliance by more than half, resulting in a return on investment
in under six months. By further automating risk and change
management, Tufin extends additional time and cost savings to areas
that are either still highly manual in nature or have only baseline
automation, enabling organizations to reap dramatic, quantifiable
efficiency gains.
Key enhancements to TSS 5.2 include:
- Network Topology Intelligence: TSS
automatically discovers an organization's firewall topology and
provides security administrators with a dynamic, visual map. The
map identifies network zones located behind firewall and router
interfaces, and enhances the automation and efficiency of core
features including access requests, risk analysis, and audit and
compliance reporting.
- Rule Recertification: To further
streamline compliance management and reporting, TSS now provides
the ability to document each rule, identify technical and business
owners and indicate an expiration date for recertification or
removal.
- Full Support for Juniper JunOS SRX and Fortinet
Fortigate: Tufin offers the most comprehensive
support for the SRX/J-Series firewalls including real-time policy
retrieval, policy analysis, audits and compliance reports. Complete
feature support for Fortigate products includes change
accountability and comprehensive rule and object usage
analysis
- Enterprise Multi-Tenancy: Building off
of Tufin's robust distributed architecture, TSS 5.2 allows large
enterprises to manage separate business units or datacenters from a
central console with complete administration separation governed by
robust role-based administration rights.
- Executive Change Management Dashboard:
TSS's Executive Change Management Dashboard enables managers,
administrators and users to instantly assess the status of security
change operations in SecureChange Workflow. The dashboard features
intuitive graphical widgets such as ticket status, SLA status,
ticket load per administrator, and more.
- Automatic Change Verification: TSS 5.2
analyzes each completed change ticket to automatically verify
whether the request was handled successfully. Automatic
verification speeds request processing and minimizes the need to
re-open tickets.
- SLA Tracking: With Service Level
Agreement (SLA) support, organizations can improve their security
process management while supporting organizational service
management initiatives. SLA data can be viewed through the
executive CM dashboard and in detailed reports. When a task does
not meet its SLA, configurable alerts or escalation processes are
activated. SLA tracking integrates seamlessly with external help
desk systems including BMC Remedy.
- Topology Analysis for the Policy Change
Advisor: Integrating Topology Analysis with the
Policy Change Advisor automatically identifies precisely which
firewalls and routers are relevant to any access request. It then
uses sophisticated policy analysis to determine which rules and
objects must be modified in order to support the change, saving
time and eliminating the need for administrators to remember the
network topology as it evolves.
"With this version of Tufin Security Suite, we built on top of
our core technical strengths - a highly scalable, distributed
architecture, top-notch management capabilities and automation
powerful enough to counter the increasing complexity of our
customers' network environments and extended those benefits to our
customers' strategic outsourcing partners - MSSPs," said Shaul
Efraim, Tufin's Vice President of Products, Marketing and Business
Development. "Whether deepening the depth and breadth of functional
support, as we did for the Fortinet and Juniper JunOS platforms, or
enabling new delivery models, such as enabling MSSPs to offer
Security Lifecycle Management as a service, our goal was to deliver
these enhancements in the hallmark Tufin fashion - with a focus on
innovation, ease-of-use, and an unmatched customer experience."
