PCI DSS Continuous
Compliance, Increased Device Support, and Change Provisioning for
Cisco Round Out New Product Release
RSA Conference, San Francisco, CA - February 26,
2013- Tufin Technologies, the market-leading provider of
Security Policy Management
solutions, today announced version R13-1 of its award-winning
Tufin Security Suite (TSS). TSS R13-1 offers a set of
strategic enhancements that break new ground in network security
operations, compliance and change management, while continuing to
lead the market for automated application connectivity, which
according to
survey data published today by Tufin, is the number one use
case for firewall management.
"By recognizing the integral role that network security systems
such as firewalls play in assuring not only application protection
but also performance and availability, Tufin... provides much
needed closure to a gap in comprehensive application management
that far too often goes neglected, yet one that can have a
substantial impact on the business if not managed on a par with
other aspects of business-critical applications" said Enterprise
Management Associates analyst Jim Frey in a 2012 report titled
"Tufin Closes the Application Gap in Complex Firewall Management
with SecureApp".
In order to address an expanded set of business requirements,
Tufin has added key enhancements in R13-1, including:
- Continuous Compliance with PCI DSS- New automation continuously
monitors all firewall policy changes for compliance with PCI DSS
and flags any change that appears to break compliance. TSS's
enhanced Compliance Browser provides a real time view of the
organization's compliance posture with drill-downs to analysis and
remediation tools. It transforms PCI DSS firewall audit preparation
from a week-long endeavor to "one- click", enabling organizations
to quickly achieve compliance with the firewall-related PCI DSS
requirements.
- New Device Support: Committed to delivering deeper and
wider support for Cisco devices, TSS now supports Cisco zone-based
firewalls and Cisco IOS XR. TSS R13-1 also includes support for
Fortinet FortiManager.
- Network Topology Enhancements:TSS's network topology now
includes support for virtual routers and MPLS VPNs, resulting in a
more detailed and accurate network topology map that allows
security operations teams to more efficiently and accurately plan
changes.
- Automated Change Provisioning for Cisco ASA firewalls:
Delivering on Tufin's vision for end-to-end policy management,
SecureChange now automates change provisioning for Cisco ASA
firewalls.
- Application Connection Discovery: Automatically identifies
the possible resources and connections participating in networked
enterprise applications. This enables application owners and
network engineers to easily complete an application connection
requirement without thorough knowledge of the network.
- Application Connection Analysis and Diagnostics:Provides an
instant snapshot of the relationship between an application
connection and the underlying network and firewall policies,
enabling network and applications teams to quickly diagnose
connectivity problems or plan network and policy
changes.
"The innovator's dilemma is to execute on the roadmap in a way
that balances short and long term customer requirements," said
Reuven Harrison, CTO, Tufin. "TSS R13-1 strikes that balance by
adding support for new devices while extending the depth and
breadth of automation across key fronts. With firewalls acting as
the lynchpin between applications and the network, we believe that
the enhancements to TSS R13-1 foster collaboration between
applications and network teams, thereby exponentially increasing
the business value of firewall management."
Pricing and Availability
TSS R13-1 will be generally available in April 2013.
Pricing is broken down by product: SecureTrack starts at
$20,000 for 10 firewalls, SecureChange at $35,000 for 10 firewalls,
and SecureApp at $45,000 for 10 applications.
