Tufin's SecureChange Workflow (SCW) aims to apply standard change-management practices to network security. SCW can be used for common office tasks - but it has a few tricks up its sleeve. Integration with Tufin's SecureTrack means it can apply change-management processes to any network device.
Change management is an essential business process and never more so than in the context of network security. Tufin is a specialist in this area and its latest SecureChange Workflow (SCW) applies these principals to the entire process of managing firewalls, routers and switches. Tufin is an undeniable specialist in network security; its SecureTrack product offers sophisticated firewall policy management and configuration auditing tools. SCW extends this expertise to provide a complete solution that automates and manages the change request process from start to finish.
The SecureTrack from Tufin takes an appliance-based approach to managing and configuring firewalls and network infrastructure, including routers, switches, load balancers and web proxies... Once the devices are added to the system, we found there was no limit to the information and configurations that could be viewed. Through the interface we were able to compare and analyze configurations, as well as quickly audit and produce reports with a few clicks of the mouse. Once we defined a policy, the system can look for and alert on policy violations which then can be quickly remediated with little effort.
Tufin has traditionally focused on firewall configuration, auditing and management, but with this latest version of its SecureTrack software, it now pushes this expertise into network device management as well. This new feature only currently supports Cisco routers and switches, but considering these products hold sway over the majority of business networks, it looks an excellent place for Tufin to start its expansion plans.
"Documentation for the solution is thorough, and the support side is superb, including several webcast training clips to walk you through many administrative steps. We definitely wish more vendors would offer these walkthroughs."
"The SecureTrack T-500 from Tufin Technologies can reduce the time needed for firewall maintenance by monitoring them from a single 1U rack-mount appliance. You can enforce policy changes and change settings from a single interface."
"SecureTrack continuously monitors firewall policies, so any configuration changes are detected automatically, and as soon as it is made. Because changes can be made in real-time, administrators can poke and tweak the rules and immediately see the result in firewall performance, making it easier to optimize the firewall based on actual traffic..."
SecureTrack’s extensive real-time monitoring and analysis facilities can make light work of firewall change management and security policy compliance."
"SecureTrack’s Policy Analysis tool is a powerful feature which allows you to query any number of rule bases for specific information. Queries are easily customised as you can select specific devices and policy packages, enter source, destination and service objects, and look for allow or deny actions."
