New Permissive Firewall Policy Optimization Features Enable
Security Teams to Instantly Identify and Remediate Potential Policy
Risks
Feb. 9, 2011 - Tufin Technologies, the
leading provider of Security Lifecycle Management solutions, today
unveiled version 5.3 of its award-winning Tufin Security Suite
(TSS), which features enhancements that further accelerate Tufin's
market lead and significantly raises the bar for what any
organization should expect from firewall operations, compliance and
change automation solutions. Tufin will demonstrate its new release
next week at the RSA Conference 2011 in San Francisco, in its Booth
No. 2551.
The Tufin Security Suite is made up of two core products:
SecureTrack, Tufin's firewall operations, compliance and auditing
product; and SecureChange Workflow, Tufin's security change
automation solution. Enhancements to SecureTrack include:
- Enhanced Automatic Policy Generator (APG).
SecureTrack's Automatic Policy Generator enables administrators to
instantly create a firewall rule base through analysis of firewall
traffic logs. TSS 5.3 includes an enhanced, interactive interface
as well as new features that enable security teams to rapidly
diagnose and remediate excessively permissive security policy
rules, including:
- Permissiveness Score: APG now reviews security
policies for firewalls, routers or other network devices and
assigns a permissiveness score to every rule. With the
permissiveness score, security teams can instantly identify and
address potential risks.
- Permissive Rule Optimization: APG provides
specific recommendations on how to optimize overly permissive
rules. Since there is a tradeoff between the degree of
permissiveness and the number of rules generated, security managers
can adjust the optimization level before and after the
analysis.
- Zone Manager. SecureTrack's new Zone Manager
provides a central interface for defining and managing network
zones. All SecureTrack features access the zone manager, making it
faster and easier than ever before to define reports and queries in
SecureTrack. It is also possible to export zone definitions for use
in other management systems.
- PCI DSS Support for Industry Standard-Version
2.0. SecureTrack's Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standards (PCI DSS) Audit Report now supports the latest version of
the industry standard, version 2.0. The automated report helps
organizations address the requirements relating to firewall
auditing, network security, data safety, access control, and
accountability.
In addition to the latest advances in SecureTrack, Tufin's
SecureChange Workflow change automation tool is also updated to
include an out-of-the-box API for integration with the popular BMC
Remedy Change Management system. The enhanced API enables
SecureChange Workflow to automatically update the enterprise change
management system in order to comply with organizational change
policies.
"As the leader in Security Lifecycle Management, Tufin has a
broad customer base which works closely with us to identify product
updates to keep up with their changing, complex firewall management
and compliance needs," said Ruvi Kitov, CEO and Co-Founder, Tufin
Technologies. "With this new release, SecureTrack addresses the
latest in firewall compliance and automation requirements as
demanded by enterprises. Coupled with our recent announcement of
next-generation firewall support, SecureTrack is today's most
comprehensive solution for firewall management."

The latest version of SecureTrack and SecureChange Workflow are
planned to be released for general availability on 21-Feb-2011.
Pricing starts at $20,000.
