Firewall Configuration Analysis & Management Tools

Firewall Optimization & Rule Analyzer

Tufin strengthens network security by streamlining and optimizing firewall configurations, reducing vulnerabilities, and improving firewall management and performance.

Align Rules and Policies to Business Objectives

By identifying and troubleshooting unused, shadowed, or outdated rules, you can prioritize rule optimization and address misconfigurations, aligning security policies more effectively with business objectives to manage risk.

Identify and review the need for unused or low-use rules.

Document business reasons for maintaining low-use rules.

Automatically identify and decommission unused, shadowed, or outdated rules.

Limit Access to Reduce Attack Surface

By tightening rules, you can enforce the principle of least privilege consistently across network devices and control network access more precisely.

Determine actual rule usage with the automatic policy generator (APG) to tighten overly permissive rules.

Establish a network traffic baseline to identify required access and check rulesets against historic firewall logs.

Automatically remove unwanted rules consistently across network devices.

Enhance Network Device Performance

Streamlining and reordering firewall rulesets within your firewall policy improves overall network speed and performance, while effective change management in policy management helps mitigate transmission bottlenecks and enhances cybersecurity.

Identify heavily used rules and reorder accordingly.

Simplify rules by removing unnecessary objects.

Delete rules that no longer serve the intended business function.

Reduce Audit Costs

By establishing consistent security policies and continuously monitoring for violations, you can strengthen your security posture, enhance firewall security, and reduce audit times, all while mitigating cyber threats and optimizing bandwidth.

Ensure all network changes are compliant before making changes.

Adapt to evolving compliance standards and regulatory changes.

Automate and document security policy enforcement and management exceptions to continuously and effectively manage and monitor network devices.

Improve Incident Response Metrics

With end-to-end network visibility and accurate firewall data, your security teams can optimize policies, analyze traffic patterns, and enhance segmentation and authentication, leading to improved metrics like Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR).

Generate network topology maps on demand to analyze attack paths.

Implement workflows for decommissioning rules and objects, removing access, and modifying groups.

Integrate firewall data into security monitoring tools, like security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions.
