R16-4 automates firewall rule and server decommissioning while centralizing cloud tag policy to streamline and simplify network security policy management
SAN FRANCISCO – February 14, 2017 – Tufin®, the market-leading provider of Network Security Policy Orchestration solutions, updated its award-winning Tufin Orchestration Suite™ to offer customers the ability to strengthen their network security posture by decommissioning redundant or unnecessary rules, and ensure continuous compliance by centrally defining and enforcing a tag policy for cloud platforms. Tufin Orchestration Suite R16-4 provides comprehensive managed network security across all leading firewall and networking vendors through automated provisioning and end-to-end change automation for hybrid environments. “Today’s complex enterprise networks are comprised of multiple vendors and hybrid platforms, and visibility, control, and security are non-negotiable,” said Ofer Or, VP of products at Tufin. “The new features we’ve introduced in R16-4 provide just that: tightened firewall policies, increased visibility and control across physical networks, private and public cloud platforms, and a heightened security posture.

Users can define and enforce a central tag policy across private and public cloud infrastructures from a single dashboard to regulate the proliferation of resources and control the correct security category allocation. Additional benefits of the new tag policy feature include the ability to:
