Where Network Security Meets the Cloud
Tufin unifies risk management, change automation, and compliance enforcement across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, all from a central control plane.
Visualize, assess, and control network security and firewall risks with real-time intelligence and automated workflows that ensure every change strengthens your security posture.
With Tufin, you can:
- Analyze access control changes before deployment using “what-if” path simulation.
- Detect policy violations and misconfigurations instantly.
- Integrate SIEM, SOAR, and vulnerability data for context-rich risk assessment.
- Automatically validate changes against compliance and security frameworks.
- Eliminate manual audit prep with continuous policy validation and reporting.
Minimize Risk by Reducing Permissiveness
Tufin’s policy and rule optimization automates least-privilege enforcement by analyzing network traffic and defining who truly needs access. It creates optimized, least-privilege firewall rules, reducing exposure while keeping business operations fast and efficient.
Key Benefits:
- Automate least-privilege access controls based on real usage data.
- Instantly tighten overly permissive rules.
- Build access efficiency into your daily policy management process.
- Maintain agility while preventing lateral movement and misconfiguration risks.
Prioritize Vulnerability Patching to Prevent Exposure
Tufin integrates with your vulnerability management tools to correlate network topology with vulnerability scan results. This allows teams to identify which vulnerabilities are exposed to the network and prioritize patching based on actual exploitability.
Vulnerability-Based Change Automation (VCA) extends this intelligence into the design process, checking for vulnerabilities at both source and destination during every access change, helping prevent new exposure from entering your environment.
Demonstrate Compliance with Confidence
With regulatory oversight at an all-time high, Tufin makes it simple to prove compliance while reducing manual effort. Every policy change, on-premises or in the cloud, is logged, validated, and available through automated, audit-ready reports.
With Tufin, you can:
- Prove compliance with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, and more.
- Use pre-built, vendor-agnostic templates to standardize reporting.
- Provide end-to-end visibility for internal teams and regulators.
- Validate governance and security posture instantly with C-suite-ready dashboards.
Strengthen Business Continuity Through Automation
Tufin continuously assesses business continuity risks with every network change, providing the most accurate topology and path analysis to accelerate troubleshooting and minimize downtime.
Continuity capabilities include:
- Business continuity validation integrated into change workflows.
- Full topology visibility across internal and cloud environments.
- Automated risk assessments that prevent configuration errors.
- Faster outage response through contextual path analysis and access visibility.

FAQs
- Identification of vulnerabilities across firewall rules, firewall configuration, routers, permissions, and the internal network.
- Risk analysis that measures the likelihood and impact of cyber threats, malware, cyberattacks, or security incidents.
- Evaluation of security controls and security policies to determine whether they meet standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, and ISO 27001.
- Prioritization of remediation efforts based on the organization’s security posture and business operations.
- Documentation of findings that supports incident response, security management, and ongoing risk management workflows.
These elements help organizations reduce the attack surface, close security gaps, and improve data security.
A firewall risk assessment is a security assessment that analyzes the effectiveness of firewall rules, firewall configuration, and overall firewall security. It identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and gaps in security policies that could expose the organization to cyber threats or data breaches. The assessment reviews rulesets, access controls, remote access settings, and firewall policy functionality to ensure proper protection of the internal network and web applications.
Firewall risk assessments are essential for maintaining regulatory compliance with frameworks such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, and ISO 27001.
A firewall risk assessment works by evaluating the firewall environment using vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security audits. It reviews firewall rules, ip address mappings, dns settings, segmentation strategy, and security controls to detect misconfigurations or security risks in real time. Threat intelligence and SIEM data often supplement the process by highlighting suspicious traffic or potential cyberattacks.
Security teams analyze the ruleset, identify weaknesses, and recommend mitigation steps. Automated tools can streamline change management workflows, optimize configurations, and support remediation efforts. The result is improved network security and stronger information security across all providers and network segments.
A firewall risk assessment should be conducted regularly to maintain a strong security posture and reduce exposure to cyber threats. Common best practices include:
- Quarterly assessments for organizations with high data security requirements or strict regulatory obligations.
- Annual assessments for standard compliance cycles such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.
- On-demand assessments when significant firewall changes occur, such as rule updates, configuration changes, or new remote access deployments.
- Post-incident assessments after security incidents or cyberattacks to ensure no lingering vulnerabilities remain.
Frequent assessments provide security teams with continuous visibility, enabling faster remediation and more effective risk management.
