Tufin Unifies Management of Cloud Cybersecurity Policies

Tufin today announced the availability of Tufin SecureCloud, which combines two existing offerings to manage cybersecurity policies for both monolithic applications and emerging microservices-based application environments.Company CTO Reuven Harrison said rather than moving forward with separate products, previously known as Tufin Orca and Tufin Iris, Tufin is aiming to appease IT organizations that prefer a unified approach to managing all their applications.Tufin SecureCloud provides the single pane of glass that IT organizations require to secure cloud applications regardless of the underlying architecture employed, he said, noting a single offering provides the added benefit of reducing the total cost of securing those cloud applications. Part of the Tufin Orchestration Suite of cloud security tools, Tufin SecureCloud is planned to support for instances of Kubernetes running in on-premises IT environments. Kubernetes has emerged as the dominant platform for deploying microservices-based applications built using containers. By extending the current support Tufin provides securing Kubernetes instances in the cloud to on-premises IT environments, it will become possible to secure hybrid cloud computing environments as well, added Harrison.
