Operational leverage
As an enabler of agile and secure operations, the role of network management has become fundamental for organisations. Simultaneously, as networks expand and become more complex, their management becomes increasingly challenging, having to support new technologies and multiple vendor solutions across the organisation. The seamless integration of different management components and tools helps organisations attain a holistic approach to network management that is both secure and efficient.
“Our mutual customers will gain additional value from Tufin and Stonesoft’s established relationship as we move into the second phase of integration and beyond,” said Reuven Harrison, CTO, Tufin. “We look forward to our continued work with Stonesoft to ensure our customers can ensure Security Policy is always in line with business without sacrificing compliance, efficiency or agility.”
Holistic approach to policy management
The Security Management Center (SMC), part of the visionary Stonesoft Next Generation Firewall, provides an Application Programming Interface (API) with the 5.6 release. While the SMC makes management of the Next Generation Firewall smooth and easy, this API simplifies integrations between the SMC and third party management systems. The REST architecture-based SMC API enables network managers to automate tasks such as element and rule addition, editing and removal.
The Tufin Orchestration Suite™ is a centralised policy management system spanning over multiple technologies and vendors. Version R13-3 of the Tufin Orchestration Suite adds Stonesoft's SMC to its wide range of supported network devices.
The initial phase of the integration via the SMC API enables users to manage network topology, view and analyse policies, as well as track policy changes through the Tufin Orchestration Suite. It also provides tools that assist mutual customers in meeting regulatory compliance standards such as PCI-DSS and SOX.
“The integration between Stonesoft and Tufin provides new opportunities for our mutual customers to achieve the best possible situational awareness and network automation in multi-vendor environments,” said Tero Jantunen, SMC Product Architect, Stonesoft, A McAfee Group Company.
