Tufin Technologies Moves Beyond Firewall Auditing to Support Cisco Routers and Switches

(04/11/2008)

Tufin Technologies has announced that SecureTrack’s capabilities have extended beyond firewall auditing to support of critical network devices, namely Cisco routers and switches. This provides security managers with a unified easy-to-use interface for simultaneous monitoring of both firewall operations and network devices. SecureTrack 4.3 provides comprehensive change tracking for device configurations, access control lists (ACL’s) and routing tables, with real-time change alerts and reports.

“Traditionally, SecureTrack helps security officers streamline firewall operations. With version 4.3, however, we made a transition into the broader realm of network operations” said Ruvi Kitov, CEO for Tufin Technologies. “Monitoring routers and switches along side firewalls in a centralised fashion enables our customers to significantly improve overall network control.”

“With this new expansion of SecureTrack’s capabilities into the area of network operations, Tufin now offers a more comprehensive solution than ever bringing easier functionality to our customers which in term will be saving them time and money. This new feature within SecureTrack, enabling a top-down view of every change to firewall policies now extending to network devices will no doubt prove a popular additional feature as it will eliminate the need to use multiple policy management solutions from different vendors which can prove an arduous task for any organisation” said Vaughan Davies, Security Marketing Manager at communications integrator Affiniti, one of Tufin Technologies’ leading UK channel partners.

Additional New Features in SecureTrack 4.3:

Automated PCI-DSS Audit Report – Makes it fast and simple to prepare for an internal or external audit. The report provides in-depth information about the company’s PCI compliance level, also showing where improvements are needed and recommending how to address them. The PCI-DSS solution combines various SecureTrack technologies in a single automated report making it easier than ever to achieve proactive compliance with PCI-DSS.

Rule Shadowing Analysis – as an extension to its policy analysis capability, SecureTrack now also identifies rules that shadow other rules, either fully or partially. This information combined with the Rule Usage Analysis reports enables comprehensive firewall optimisation.

Full Juniper Accountability – seamless integration with Juniper firewalls that includes:
• Real-time change detection for robust configuration management, replacing the need for device configuration polling
•Complete information on who made what change and when for Juniper firewalls

SecureTrack 4.3 is available now.
