October 18, 2011 – Ramat Gan, Israel -- Tufin Technologies, the market-leading provider of Security Lifecycle Management solutions, today announced that SecureTrack™, its flagship firewall operations management solution, now includes configuration change management and automation component, called SecureChange™ Basic. SecureChange Basic is based on Tufin SecureChange, a robust security change automation solution designed specifically for network security devices. SecureChange manages the entire lifecycle of a configuration change request, from submission through design, risk analysis, approval, implementation and auditing. SecureChange Basic provides out-of-the-box, easy and intuitive configuration change workflows, enabling Tufin’s 800+ customers to quickly automate complex change management processes for firewalls, switches and routers without any additional capital investment.

"Automating change management is a natural next step for organizations that are already realizing the benefits of firewall management and auditing tools," said Jim Frey of Enterprise Management Associates. “Good change management can solve a host of issues, such as reducing the incidence of misconfigurations, while making it possible to effectively implement end-to-end auditing of the entire change lifecycle and improving efficiency via faster and more accurate ticket closure rates. Keys to success are features that facilitate the change management process, such as built-in workflows, and a tight integration between change management and auditing/monitoring products – precisely what Tufin has addressed with its combination of SecureChange and SecureTrack.”
