Tufin is a Tel Aviv-based security policy management company founded in 2005 that specializes in the automation of security policy changes across hybrid platforms and security and compliance.[1] The Tufin Orchestration Suite supports next-generation firewalls, network-layer firewalls, routers, network switches, load balancers, web proxies, private and public cloud platforms and micro-services.

On August 25, 2022, Turn/River Capital completed the acquisition of Tufin, after which the company went private.[2][3]

History

The company was founded in 2005 by Ruvi Kitov and Rueven Harrison and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2019.[4][5]

In 2018, Tufin leased 4,200 square meters of office space at the ToHa office building in Tel Aviv.[6] At the time, the company had about 200 employees across offices in Boston, London and Ramat Gan.[6]

On April 6, 2022, Tufin announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by software-focused investment firm Turn/River Capital. The agreement valued the company at $570 million and was an all-cash deal. Following the sale's close, Tufin reverted to a private company.[2]

In February 2024, Tufin acquired Brisbane-based network monitoring software company AKIPS for an undisclosed amount.[7]

In February 2025, Tufin appointed Raymond Brancato as its chief executive officer. [8][9]

In February 2025, following the shutdown of Skybox Security, Tufin acquired selected intellectual property, trademarks and customer information from the company, and introduced an Express Path migration program for former Skybox customers. [10]
