Firewall Policy Management made somewhat easy!

Pros

  • Firewall Policy Management
  • Workflows and its integration with Firewall change process

Cons

  • Tufin SecureChange needs to be more agnostic, easy to integrate with Service NOW
  • JSON payload identification for Tufin SecureChange while integrating it with SNOW

  • Tufin Orchestration Suite Professional services experience could be also improved overall - Taking more ownership
  • API calls to 3rd party tools should be more flexible

Tufin for Enterprise and Firewall Migration Success

Pros

  • Security Policy/ACL overview showing hit count and shadow policies
  • Configuration change tracking by user
  • Detailed reports on the firewall configuration

Cons

  • Palo Alto Networks Integration
  • Better/more user friendly api for integration with ticketing systems
  • Web UI structure is not user-friendly

Return on Investment

  • Tufin has helped increase firewall migration time letting us build new policies instead of migrating garbage in
  • Tufin helps to identify who changed what when so if a change impacts access Tufin can help find what change was made from a single location
  • Tufin has a great reporting feature - except for Palo Alto right now - that helps to review and audit policy, flagging overly permissive and shadow or partially shadow policies.

Alternatives Considered

RedSeal and AlgoSec

Other Software Used

Cisco ASA, Check Point Security Management, Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect Mobile Security Manager

Think twice before buying

Pros

  • If you set your zones correctly Tufin will create your network topology map.
  • You can find which object or rule you want easily for all firewalls in the network.
  • Tufin provides more features for Checkpoint.

Cons

  • It doesn't run correctly with Fortinet firewalls
  • Support team does not have enough ideas for solving cases

Return on Investment

  • I think if you correctly configure your SIEM, you don't need Tufin. You can correlate a lot of things for firewalls.
