Tufin Technologies has announced SIX as the first customer to deploy its new product, SecureApp, in a production environment.

SIX operates Switzerland’s financial market infrastructure and its business depends on hundreds of applications and business services with distributed architectures and fast changing network requirements, all of which generate a high volume of application-related firewall change requests. Its network security team deployed the Tufin Security Suite to map firewall change processes to the application-centric needs of the business while ensuring that SIX’s security policy would never be compromised.

“SecureApp is a game-changer,” says Christoph Littwin, head of telecommunications, SIX. “The majority of our firewall changes are application related. We knew we were spending too much time on tasks like application deployment and decommissioning, and wanted to manage application-related firewall changes from a business process perspective instead of hunting for connectivity data spread across our entire infrastructure. We found nothing on the market and even considered developing and implementing our own tool. When Tufin showed us SecureApp our requirements were almost identical, and we immediately moved forward. We are delighted with the product and think highly of their ongoing development of innovative solutions.”
