Real-Time Device Discovery Streamlines Troubleshooting, Strengthens Policy Enforcement, and Frees Teams from Manual Maintenance
Tufin, a recognized leader in network and cloud security policy automation, has announced the launch of Tufin Orchestration Suite (TOS) Discovery, an innovative solution designed to help security teams maintain a consistent, accurate, and up-to-date c in real-time.
The importance of having an up-to-date network topology cannot be overstated. Accurate network mapping is critical for enforcing security policies, validating access controls, and mitigating vulnerabilities. However, the process of keeping this topology current is traditionally a manual and time-intensive task, often pushed aside when urgent network security needs take precedence.
Tufin’s TOS Discovery addresses this challenge by automating device discovery and onboarding, providing security teams with real-time topology updates that improve security, access control, and compliance. It is the first solution in the industry that seamlessly integrates live network topology onboarding with network security policy management.
“Hybrid mesh networks are evolving continuously, and if your topology doesn’t capture these changes, crucial devices can go unnoticed, leaving your environment vulnerable and misrepresenting your security posture,” said Shay Dayan, Senior Vice President of Products and Engineering at Tufin. “TOS Discovery exemplifies how security automation should work—removing a time-consuming task while strengthening overall security for the long term.”

With TOS Discovery, network security teams can:
-
Maintain Accurate, Real-Time Topology: Ensure that network topology remains precise and current with zero manual effort.
-
Streamline Security Operations: Accelerate secure access provisioning, policy changes, and enforcement across hybrid network environments.
-
Enhance Troubleshooting Efficiency: Improve mean time to resolution (MTTR) by enabling faster identification of issues.
-
Boost SLA Compliance: Meet and exceed service-level agreements with optimized network operations.
-
Gain Smarter Visibility: Empower both NetOps and SecOps teams with real-time network visibility, reducing operational risks and enabling quicker, more informed decision-making.
The TOS Discovery feature is built directly into the Tufin Orchestration Suite, automating the discovery of Cisco routers and switches across an organization’s network, ensuring that topology is always accurate and up to date. The process of device discovery is fully automated, eliminating the need for manual scripts, spreadsheets, or the reliance on professional services. With regular updates scheduled to maintain accuracy, the solution is easy to deploy and can be implemented with minimal setup time, allowing teams to quickly start realizing its benefits.
Most notably, devices can be grouped by IP range, credentials, or device type, providing a scalable and efficient means for maintaining network topology. This ensures that any new additions to the environment are automatically detected, guaranteeing that no devices are missed.
Tufin’s TOS Discovery offers a modern solution to a critical challenge, optimizing network security and operations with minimal manual effort. It allows security teams to operate more efficiently while ensuring that their network topology always reflects the reality of the environment they are protecting.
