Tufin Open Platform (TOP) enables technology partners to easily integrate a wide range of network devices with Tufin’s SecureTrack and SecureChange Workflow solutions. Through TOP, SecureTrack and SecureChange Workflow can be extended to support a variety of devices, enabling customers to leverage Tufin’s unmatched security management capabilities to streamline operations.

The TOP Program provides development partners and customers with a Software Development Kit (SDK) for TOP plugins. The plugins implement the configuration retrieval logic for the network device that is integrated with Tufin’s solutions and can be written in any programming language. The TOP SDK enables SecureTrack to monitor and track configuration changes to generic devices.

Configurations retrieved via TOP can be viewed and compared in SecureTrack’s Compare view, and SecureTrack can generate New Revision reports and Advanced Change reports for them.

Policy Change Notifications, connectivity status, and connectivity Administrative Alerts are all supported for these TOP device configurations.

TOP monitoring requires a customized plugin, specific to the monitored device model. SecureTrack uses the TOP plugin to retrieve configuration text files from the device. The plugin defines how SecureTrack retrieves and handles the configuration. The TOP plugin for each device type is a single .tgz file, which is installed by a SecureTrack Administrator via the SecureTrack web interface.
