////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FEATURE: CLOUD SOLUTIONS As a result, security teams find themselves with complex, fragmented networks, and lack the visibility and control required to ensure security and compliance. Ensuring the security and compliance of cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments, including Kubernetes, SecureCloud provides security policy visibility, automated security policy discovery and generation, and the ability to establish a zero trust security model, without compromising the business agility benefits of moving to the cloud or developer productivity. Tufin, a company pioneering a policycentric approach to security and IT operations, has announced the availability of Tufin SecureCloud, a security policy automation service for enterprises needing to gain visibility and control of the security posture of their cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments. SecureCloud, built from the ground up and optimised for the cloud, is a major new addition to the Tufin Orchestration Suite – establishing Tufin as a vendor that unifies security policy management across on-premises, cloud-native and hybrid clouds. SecureCloud combines and extends the functionality previously available in Tufin Orca and Tufin Iris, and unifies cloud security policy management for container, microservices and hybrid cloud environments in a single solution – giving organisations greater visibility and control of cloud security, regardless of environment. Modern enterprises are rapidly moving workloads to the cloud to bring products to market quicker, be more responsive to customers’ needs and to take advantage of business opportunities. But, all too often in the current dynamic cloud development environments, developers can build and deploy applications, totally bypassing security. According to a research report from Gartner: “Nearly all successful attacks on cloud services are the result of customer misconfiguration, mismanagement and mistakes. Security and risk management leaders should invest in cloud security posture management processes and tools to proactively and reactively identify and remediate these risks.” Business goals and Digital Transformation efforts are best met when DevOps and security teams can function most efficiently. SecureCloud’s policy automation empowers DevOps and security teams by removing the need to introduce new processes or technologies that traditionally impact business agility and create friction. Tufin SecureCloud automatically generates, provisions and synchronises security policy changes across hybrid cloud environments. “Enterprises are rapidly moving workloads to the cloud to gain greater business agility, achieve business goals and drive Digital Transformation efforts,” said Ruvi Kitov, CEO and Co-Founder of Tufin. Tufin has announced the availability of a security policy automation service for enterprises needing to gain control of the security posture of their cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments. Tufin SecureCloud enables companies to secure hybrid cloud environments “However, these new workloads often integrate with systems that reside in the data centre or private cloud. With the addition of SecureCloud to the Tufin Orchestration Suite, for the first time, companies can enforce consistent policies across the entire hybrid cloud, enabling unified security policy management, regardless of the environment. “Tufin’s policy centric, automation-based approach to managing security enables organisations to move to the cloud without compromising on security or developer productivity.” • www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 43
