Tufin

Tufin is a cybersecurity software company founded in 2005 by Ruvi Kitov and Rueven Harrison. Based in Tel Aviv, the company develops software for managing, analyzing, governing and automating security policies across complex enterprise networks. Its technology is intended to help security and network teams control changes across firewalls, routers, switches, load balancers, web proxies, private-cloud and public-cloud environments, as well as newer application and microservices infrastructures. The company emerged in a period when large organizations were operating increasingly heterogeneous networks, often with security controls supplied by multiple vendors and administered by separate teams. Tufin's central proposition is that security policy should be managed as an operational and business process rather than as a collection of isolated device configurations. Its software maps application connectivity and policy relationships, evaluates proposed changes, routes changes through approval workflows and helps implement them across supported infrastructure. This approach is intended to reduce manual work, limit configuration errors and provide an auditable record of security-policy activity. Tufin's principal product family is the Tufin Orchestration Suite. The suite has included SecureTrack for firewall operations management, auditing and compliance; SecureChange for security-change automation; SecureApp for application-connectivity management; and SecureCloud for hybrid-cloud security. The products are designed for large enterprises, managed security service providers and IT-security auditors. They support operational requirements associated with standards and regulatory frameworks including PCI DSS, NERC-related requirements and Sarbanes-Oxley controls, although the software itself does not replace an organization's broader compliance program. The company's technology has been positioned around multi-vendor and hybrid-environment support. Its partner and integration ecosystem has included major networking, firewall, cloud, service-management and automation vendors such as Check Point, Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper Networks, Palo Alto Networks, F5, VMware, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, ServiceNow and others. Tufin has also described capabilities such as automatic policy generation, traffic-informed rule refinement and application-scoped security-policy management. The Orchestration Suite has historically received quarterly updates. Tufin expanded its corporate profile when it became a public company on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2019. The company later agreed to be acquired by software-focused investment firm Turn/River Capital in 2022 in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $570 million. The transaction closed on August 25, 2022, returning Tufin to private ownership. Before the acquisition, the company maintained operations in locations including Tel Aviv, Boston and London; in 2018 it leased office space at the ToHa building in Tel Aviv and had approximately 200 employees across those offices. After going private, Tufin continued to broaden its platform. In February 2024 it acquired Brisbane-based network-monitoring software company AKIPS for an undisclosed amount. In February 2025, Tufin appointed Raymond Brancato as chief executive officer. The same month, following the shutdown of Skybox Security, Tufin acquired selected Skybox intellectual property, trademarks and customer information and launched an Express Path migration program for former Skybox customers. These moves connected Tufin's core policy-orchestration capabilities with network visibility and an opportunity to serve organizations seeking alternatives after Skybox's closure.

Tufin was established in 2005 by Ruvi Kitov and Rueven Harrison in Israel. Its founding focus was the difficult operational problem of managing security policies across large, distributed and heterogeneous corporate networks. Enterprises commonly used firewalls and other network-security devices from multiple vendors, while changes were requested by application owners, implemented by network teams and reviewed by security or compliance personnel. Tufin developed software to connect these activities through centralized visibility, policy analysis and workflow automation. The company's platform evolved around the idea that security policy could be managed at the level of applications, services and business connectivity rather than only at the level of individual firewall rules. Its technology has included traffic analysis, policy auditing, change planning, approval workflows and automated deployment. The resulting product family became known as the Tufin Orchestration Suite. SecureTrack addressed firewall operations management, auditing and compliance; SecureChange automated security-policy changes; SecureApp focused on application connectivity; and SecureCloud addressed security policy in hybrid-cloud environments. Tufin's target customers have included large enterprises, managed security service providers and security auditors. The platform has been designed to work with a broad range of network and security technologies, including next-generation and traditional firewalls, routers, switches, load balancers, web proxies, public-cloud and private-cloud platforms, and microservices-related environments. Its integrations have included vendors such as Check Point, Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper Networks, Palo Alto Networks, F5, VMware, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and ServiceNow. The company has also promoted capabilities for automatic policy generation and traffic-informed refinement of security rules. Tufin expanded its physical and commercial presence as it grew. In 2018, it leased approximately 4,200 square meters at Tel Aviv's ToHa office building. At that time, it was reported to have about 200 employees across offices in Boston, London and Ramat Gan. The company entered the public markets in April 2019 through a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, increasing its visibility among cybersecurity and enterprise-software companies. On April 6, 2022, Tufin announced that it had entered a definitive agreement to be acquired by Turn/River Capital, a software-focused investment firm. The all-cash transaction was valued at approximately $570 million. Completion took place on August 25, 2022, after which Tufin ceased to be publicly traded and returned to private ownership under Turn/River's control. The private-company period included further expansion of the platform's capabilities. In February 2024, Tufin acquired AKIPS, a Brisbane-based company specializing in network-monitoring software. The transaction amount was not disclosed. In February 2025, Tufin named Raymond Brancato chief executive officer. Later that month, after Skybox Security shut down, Tufin acquired selected Skybox intellectual property, trademarks and customer information. It also introduced an Express Path migration program intended to help former Skybox customers move to Tufin offerings. These developments extended Tufin's role from security-policy change management toward a wider combination of policy governance, network visibility and operational automation.
