Complementary technologies unite to simplify and control network security policies
PHILADELPHIA, PA -- May 21, 2019 -- EfficientIP, a leading provider of network security and automation solutions specializing in DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM), has announced its alliance and new integration with Tufin (NYSE: TUFN), a company pioneering a policy-centric approach to security and IT operations. The combination of each company’s technologies creates a leading solution for security automation and compliance auditing activities.
The Tufin SecureTrack™ product is a complete firewall and security policy management solution for multi-vendor and next-gen firewalls, and cloud platforms. The SOLIDserver™ DDI appliance from EfficientIP simplifies and automates the management of DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (IPAM) from a single pane of glass. SOLIDserver’s IP Plan data contains the "Golden Records" (technical and organizational information) which enable the creation and update of security policy zones. Integration between these platforms accelerates the deployment of security policy in virtualized environments, as well as on-premise, and most importantly to ensure compliance with both internal and external regulations.
“We are pleased to partner with EfficientIP to deliver innovative solutions that control and orchestrate network policy throughout the IT environment,” said Pamela Cyr, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Tufin. “The result is a more secure, agile network, that complies with internal and external regulations.”
The key benefits of the combined solution are numerous, including the ability to:
- Create accurate and environmental-aware zones
- Reduce management complexity
- Lower risk of misconfigurations
- Reduce labor through automatic synchronization of zone memberships
Jean-Yves Bisiaux, EfficientIP CTO noted, “We are extremely pleased to have entered into a technological alliance with a leader like Tufin. Network modernization is driven by the need for velocity, simplicity and security. Our complementary offering provides just this- it creates a best-of-breed solution for controlling and automatically deploying firewall rules throughout a company’s infrastructure, on-prem or in the cloud.”
TECHNICAL DETAILS
SOLIDserver DDI has been designed as an event-driven solution which is able to inform the IP ecosystem of any changes in real time. With a plug and play extension pack, SOLIDserver is able to notify Tufin SecureTrack of any changes on the subnet zone association so that it can rapidly update the compliance information (e.g. zone) associated with the subnet. Furthermore, almost any operation performed either through the IP address management web interface or through EfficientIP’s APIs can trigger a notification event to Tufin. The integration enables many other possible uses for simplifying deployment and maintenance of security rules across hybrid environments.
The new integration is available for SOLIDserver Release 6 onwards, and Tufin SecureTrack.
