Network Topology Intelligence

As your network grows in size and complexity, it's no simple task to maintain a clear picture of all of its devices and zones. When faced with a network access request from a user, or a change request from IT, it can take time to understand which firewalls and network components are involved.

Saving Time, Increasing Accuracy

SecureTrackā„¢'s Network Topology Intelligence automatically analyzes routing tables and detects all of the devices and zones on the network. It delivers comprehensive visibility into access paths between any source and destination, and automatically creates a graphical network layout map that gives security teams the visibility required to rapidly understand and manage configuration changes.

SecureTrack supports large maps with an unlimited number of interconnected firewalls, devices and zones, and continuously updates the topology in response to network changes. To increase the scope and accuracy of the topology map, you can add routers that are not actively managed by SecureTrack. To keep the map manageable and readable, SecureTrack displays subnets in groups, and enables you to view the routing table for each device with a single click.

You can export topology maps in PDF, PNG and Visio formats to facilitate communication and collaboration, and for use in network planning.

Network Topology Intelligence technology is an integral part of many Tufin Security Suite features including:

  • SecureTrack Policy Analysis Queries: Network topology intelligence automatically identifies the path, security rules and ACLs between any source and destination. Use this tool to diagnose network connectivity, plan changes and prepare for audits.
  • SecureTrack Security Risk Report and PCI DSS Audit Report: Network topology intelligence detects risky and non-compliant connections that break your security zone architecture (internal, DMZ, external and custom-defined zones).
  • SecureChange Access Requests: Network topology intelligence automatically determines the firewalls and routers that must be configured in order to implement the request. 
  • SecureChange Designer and Verifier: Network topology intelligence suggests changes to rule bases and ACLs and automatically verifies correct implementation of access requests.
  • SecureApp Connectivity Monitoring: SecureApp uses network topology intelligence along with other technologies in order to determine an application's connectivity status.
