Tufin Extends the Scope of its Firewall Operations Management Solution
February 2011 by Marc Jacob
Tufin Technologies announced it is the first firewall management company to offer comprehensive support for next-generation firewalls from market leaders such as Palo Alto Networks.
The latest update of SecureTrack – Tufin’s firewall operations, auditing and compliance product – introduces the industry’s first solution that provides network security teams with seamless, comprehensive management and auditing capabilities for both next-generation and network-layer firewalls. Palo Alto Networks customers can now benefit from improved management, policy analysis and reporting found in the Tufin solution.
Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewalls are unique in the industry in their ability to see and control applications, users and content – not just ports, IP addresses and packets. Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewalls enable enterprises to create granular, business-relevant security policies and safely control applications instead of the block-or-nothing approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls.
The new Tufin SecureTrack makes it easier to manage next-generation firewalls and meet auditing and compliance requirements. In a wide variety of views, policy analysis queries, and compliance audit reports, SecureTrack uniquely enables security teams to identify firewall policy rules according to advanced, application-layer identification technology.
SecureTrack’s comprehensive support for Palo Alto Networks also includes:
· Support for both physical and virtual systems, including shared objects between virtual systems.
· Support for Palo Alto Networks Panorama central management system’s global rules and objects that are shared among multiple physical or virtual firewalls.
· Real-time change tracking of Palo Alto Networks’ content updates.
– Availability and Pricing
SecureTrack support for next-generation firewalls, including Palo Alto Networks, is available immediately. Pricing starts at $20,000.
