Ongoing Profitability, 50% Increase in Headcount, Doubling of Customer Base and Constant Industry Recognition Highlight Tufin's Growing Success Tufin Technologies, the leading provider of Security Lifecycle Management solutions, today announced a record year in 2009. Having beaten expectations across the board, Tufin entered 2010 proving that the operational efficiencies gained by automating policy and change management for firewalls are widely recognized. Tufin's strong push into 2010, which already has delivered several strategic wins, indicates that security practitioners understand that extending those benefits to additional network infrastructure such as routers, switches, and load balancers is a clear and attainable priority for 2010. "Having tracked hundreds of private security companies Tufin shares many attributes of the successful ones," said Ariel Avitan, manager, Information Security Research, EMIA at Frost & Sullivan. "Tufin is executing well and its strong value proposition has enabled it to navigate through market upsets outside its control. The time and cost savings Tufin provides is highly practical, and the ability to do more with less makes security practitioners look good - a strategic advantage in uncertain economic times."
