BOSTON – May 18, 2017 – Tufin®, the market-leading provider of Network Security Policy Orchestration solutions, enhanced its award-winning Tufin Orchestration Suite™ by providing support for LDAP user groups for the enforcement of access restrictions and privileges using Palo Alto Networks® Next-Generation Security Platform. With this integration, joint customers can define and enforce micro-segmentation across hybrid cloud environments using security groups.
“There’s an obvious need for organizations to manage who is accessing what data and why— but the concern is that to deliver such a high level of security often hinders an organization’s productivity,” said Ofer Or, Vice President of Products, Tufin. “The Tufin Orchestration Suite provides business agility and security by strengthening the overall security posture of an organization through a streamlined process of granting and prohibiting network connectivity.”
With Tufin Orchestration Suite plus Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform, joint customers can further automate network security policy management by specifying User-ID and App-ID through the use of LDAP user-groups, providing greater data protection than the use of IP addresses and port numbers alone. With this new feature, organizations can now ensure secure user mobility. R17-1 also adds proactive, automated risk analysis; automatic target selection and change design; and automatic changes provisioning and verification when using LDAP user groups with Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls. Additional benefits for joint customers include:

Security teams thus can realize continuous compliance by identifying violations in real time, even in complex environments such as the cloud. As a result, organizations can improve overall security without diminishing productivity by granting access to DevOps teams to ensure security and compliance throughout their normal development processes.
