Simplify Complexity. Strengthen Security.
Organizations move to the cloud to gain agility, scalability, and cost efficiency. Cloud networks form the connectivity backbone for modern applications that span multiple providers and environments.
By combining visibility, automation, and continuous compliance, Tufin enables security and cloud teams to collaborate seamlessly, maintaining agility without sacrificing speed, control, and security.
Cloud Network Use Cases
Cross-Cloud Policy Enforcement
Define and maintain consistent security policies across AWS, Azure, and GCP to ensure unified governance and eliminate configuration drift.
Access Visibility and Governance
Gain complete visibility into cloud connectivity paths and access controls to quickly identify misconfigurations, exposure risks, and excessive permissions.
Automated Cloud Change Management
Simplify and accelerate firewall and security group changes with automated, policy-driven workflows that validate risk and compliance before deployment.
Continuous Compliance
Maintain ongoing alignment with frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and GDPR through continuous validation and real-time audit reporting.
Hybrid Network Integration
Extend centralized policy management from on-premises firewalls to cloud and SASE environments to ensure consistent enforcement across the enterprise network.
Cloud networks deliver elastic capacity and on-demand infrastructure that help reduce operational costs while ensuring availability and performance. By providing the flexibility to adapt quickly and innovate at scale, cloud networks enable businesses to move faster and stay resilient in a constantly changing digital landscape.
Securing the Cloud Starts with Policy Control
As workloads move to the cloud, the security perimeter moves with them. Cloud-native firewalls, security groups, and provider-managed rules now define how traffic flows between users, data, and applications.
Without consistent policy management, cloud environments can quickly become fragmented, leading to visibility gaps, policy drift, and unnecessary exposure. Centralized policy management provides the control needed to maintain secure, compliant, and efficient cloud operations.
Managing Policies Across Complex Hybrid Environments
Cloud security policies differ widely across providers, AWS, Azure, and GCP, each have their own architectures, controls, and management interfaces. Add in distributed ownership between cloud, DevOps, and security teams, and maintaining policy consistency becomes a serious challenge.

FAQs
Public cloud security focuses on protecting workloads, virtual machines, SaaS applications, and cloud networks hosted by cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. These environments rely on cloud-based firewalls, WAF, firewall-as-a-service, intrusion prevention systems, DDoS protection, and next-generation firewall capabilities delivered as scalable security solutions. Security policies are enforced through cloud services, APIs, and real-time threat intelligence across multi-cloud environments.
Private cloud security protects infrastructure that organizations control directly inside a data center or on-premises environment. It uses on-premises firewalls, traditional firewalls, routers, and network perimeter controls to secure workloads. The organization maintains full responsibility for firewall rules, network segmentation, lifecycle management, and vulnerability mitigation.
Public cloud security is more cloud-native, automated, and on-demand, while private cloud security provides greater customization and direct access to the underlying infrastructure.
Responsibility for securing the public cloud is shared across multiple teams, following the shared responsibility model used by cloud providers.
- Cloud security teams develop and enforce security policies, manage firewall rules, evaluate vulnerabilities, and oversee threat detection.
- DevOps or cloud operations teams configure cloud infrastructure, APIs, virtual machines, and cloud workloads to ensure secure deployment.
- Network security teams manage cloud firewalls, SASE, SD-WAN integration, and network traffic flow visibility.
- Application security teams protect cloud-native apps, SaaS platforms, and web application firewall controls.
- Business units and service owners ensure that workloads and data meet compliance requirements and follow zero trust and microsegmentation practices.
Effective public cloud security requires coordinated responsibility across the entire organization’s security posture.
Cloud-based firewalls operate as a scalable firewall solution delivered directly through cloud platforms. They monitor network traffic flowing between cloud workloads, endpoints, and cloud networks to detect cyber threats, malware, zero-day attacks, and east-west movement inside cloud environments.
Cloud firewalls use capabilities such as:
- Deep packet inspection
- Advanced threat protection
- Intrusion prevention
- AI-powered threat intelligence
- Access control and identity-aware policies
- Real-time visibility and centralized management dashboards
These virtual firewalls or firewall-as-a-service offerings integrate with APIs, cloud services, and multi-cloud environments. They protect workloads across AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, public cloud environments, hybrid cloud, and private clouds.
- Review cloud provider requirements to ensure firewall rules align with cloud infrastructure, cloud networks, and cloud service architecture.
- Define inbound and outbound firewall rules based on workloads, applications, and business needs.
- Implement network segmentation and microsegmentation to limit lateral movement.
- Enable WAF or next-generation firewall functionality to protect web applications and SaaS workloads.
- Use automation and APIs to streamline configuration, lifecycle updates, and policy enforcement.
- Apply access control, VPN, and zero trust policies for sensitive data and authentication scenarios.
- Use threat intelligence and real-time monitoring to detect cyber threats and optimize firewall performance.
- Verify that virtual machines, cloud workloads, and network traffic paths are protected as applications scale.
Proper firewall configuration supports stronger network security, reduces exposure to cyber threats, and ensures consistent protection across multi-cloud environments.
