This first-of-its-kind offering enables security managers to visualize and implement a unified security policy across physical and virtual networks. Tufin’s automated and centralized security policy management provides visibility and control over granular security policies, enabling secure and continuously-compliant software-defined data centers. Through interoperability with VMware NSX, Tufin helps ensure network micro-segmentation can be defined and visualized uniformly across physical and virtual network infrastructure, and enforced by firewalls from all leading vendors, including VMware.

The solution is available immediately from Tufin and is already being trialed by customers around the world. VMware and Tufin will be demonstrating the joint solution this week at VMworld Europe, during session SEC2238, “NSX Distributed Firewall and Micro-segmentation Use Cases,” on Tuesday, Oct 14, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Hall 8.0, Room  33

“The ability to maintain consistent security policies across our physical and virtual networks is a critical requirement and benefit for us, as we evaluate emerging models such as the Software Defined Data Center,” said Sanjay Bhandari, Senior Security Architect at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. “We are excited to see this collaboration between Tufin and VMware, to help address the need for advanced security. The interoperable solution promises to provide organizations with comprehensive visibility into the security of our virtual and physical environments, at a very granular level.”
