KBC Group Taps Tufin for Firewall Management on Juniper networks
May 2009 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
The KBC Group, a Belgium based financial institution, selects Tufin’s flagship product, SecureTrack, to manage policies for its Juniper Networks firewalls. SecureTrack will enable KBC to increase network security and automate day-to-day tasks through its powerful change tracking, rule-base optimization and risk analysis capabilities.
The KBC Group manages network firewalls across many locations in several countries. Each firewall has its own rule base - a complex set of rules defining access privileges and restrictions for specific users and services. SecureTrack provides the KBC Group with a unified, top-down view of all firewall policies and a powerful auditing tool that allows it to proactively manage configuration changes, which simplifies firewall operations while maintaining compliance with corporate and regulatory policies.
SecureTrack provides KBC Group with detailed notifications of firewall changes as soon as they are made. The system maintains a complete and accurate account of each incremental configuration change and can attribute each action to the firewall administrator who performed it.
Key features include:
– Change Management
– Security Policy Optimization and Cleanup
– Risk Analysis and Business Continuity
– Cross-Platform Visual Monitoring
– Auditing and Regulatory Compliance
In addition, Tufin announced that it has joined the Juniper Networks J-Partner Program as a Solutions Alliance partner.
