The newest app in the Marketplace combines
Tufin’s security policy automation and vulnerability management
capabilities
Tufin® (NYSE: TUFN), a company pioneering a policy-centric
approach to security and IT operations, today announced the release
of the Vulnerability-Based Change Automation App (VCA). The new app
expands Tufin’s vulnerability management capabilities with
automated vulnerability checks prior to approving network access
changes. When combined with the Vulnerability Mitigation App (VMA),
Tufin delivers a vulnerability management solution that allows
customers to maintain additional control over their attack surface
when making network changes.
One of the challenges network teams face when setting a new
security rule or enabling connectivity is ensuring that access is
not being granted to vulnerable servers. The VCA addresses this
problem by automatically retrieving data from an organization’s
vulnerability scanner and reflecting the results in the risk
assessment step of an access request workflow. Customers can ensure
there are no risky vulnerabilities in the source or destination of
a change ticket before provisioning new network access.
The VCA pairs well with the Tufin VMA, which enables
organizations to prioritize remediation efforts and automatically
apply mitigating controls by limiting access to assets with
vulnerabilities. By combining the capabilities of VCA and VMA,
customers have the context to identify and address vulnerabilities
that pose the greatest threat to critical business assets and
mitigate or remove existing access as required.
The Vulnerability-Based Change Automation App delivers the
following benefits:
- Improves security posture by preventing connectivity to or from
risky assets
- Ensures there are no vulnerabilities within source or
destination assets before provisioning new network access
- Validates consistent risk assessments during network changes
with associated documentation and audit trails
- Increases efficiency of both network and security teams through
the automation of security controls
“The release of the VCA strengthens Tufin’s leadership in the
market by extending our network security policy management
capabilities into vulnerability management,” said Ofer Or, Vice
President of Products at Tufin. “With the app, users can
incorporate risk assessment into the decision making around
security policy, increase the speed for network change
implementation, and enable the business without compromising
security.”
VCA provides out-of-the box integrations with leading
vulnerability management providers including Qualys, Rapid7, and
Tenable. The app is now available on the Tufin Marketplace.
