Tufin Reports Record 2024, Driven By Increased Demand for Comprehensive Network Security Solutions

Innovative Solutions Ease the Burden of Managing Today’s Complex Network Security Environments, While Establishing a Foundation for the Networks of Tomorrow

Tufin®, the leader in network and cloud security policy automation, today shared the details of a successful 2024 and discussed how the company is seeing increased demand from customers and prospects for its comprehensive network security solutions.

“We have seen exceptional growth and profitability over the course of the past year, as our solutions - and our vision for the future of network security - have resonated with customers,” said Raymond Brancato, CEO, Tufin. “Our focus on delivering solutions that recognize the reality that network and security professionals grapple with each day - and strive to improve it - has paid off.”

Some highlights of the company’s growth over the past year include:

  • Becoming a “Rule of 45+” company
  • Double-digit revenue growth year-over-year
  • 30%+ growth in new business year-over-year

Tufin’s strong commitment to customer success was also highly visible this year as the company earned a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 45, demonstrating that a vast majority of survey respondents would recommend the company’s products to others. Tufin’s solutions are trusted by 38% of the Fortune 50, 9 out of the top 20 global banks, 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, 8 of the top 20 insurance companies, and 4 of the top 10 auto manufacturers.

“Modern networks are complex - and as they evolve, it is more critical than ever before to maintain seamless coverage across traditional setups, SASE, and cloud,” added Brancato. “Successfully managing this complexity requires the unique mix of innovation and flexibility that Tufin brings to the table.” Tufin has continued to invest in bringing its customers new innovations to help them secure the present and be ready for the future.

The company launched its Open Policy Model (OPM), a vendor-agnostic framework allowing for consistent and unified management of security controls across all devices, from on-premise routers and firewalls, to cloud, hybrid, and edge technologies like SASE. With one standard integration model, teams can enforce policies without needing to adapt to each vendor’s unique specifications, easing management while reducing the risk of misconfigurations.

Tufin also recently launched TufinMate, a range of role-based AI-powered network security assistants that help IT, SOC, and network security teams to resolve connectivity issues, accelerate access requests, and eliminate bottlenecks. TufinMate is the first application built on TufinAI, a game-changing AI engine built on a proprietary data set curated by Tufin for 20 years. TufinAI is a major Tufin initiative that promises to take the complexity out of protecting and managing complex networks.

Some additional recent company highlights include:

  • The company recently released Tufin Orchestration Suite (TOS) R24-2. The latest release was designed to enhance network security automation, compliance, and operational efficiency across the hybrid and multi-cloud environments that organizations use every day. It adds unparalleled automation and compliance for Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and VMware clouds.



  • Enterprise network monitoring solution AKIPS, which recently announced several new features and enhancements to its Network Monitoring platform, has seen continued success since being acquired by Tufin. Tufin is preparing to launch the first integration between AKIPS and the Tufin Orchestration Suite, combining AKIPS’ powerful device discovery capabilities with Tufin’s best-in-class network topology. This will enable for the creation of faster, more accurate, and more complete network maps than ever before.



  • Tufin’s cloud and network security solutions continue to be recognized by leading organizations for their ability to provide customers with enterprise-level visibility, compliance, automation, and security for large, hybrid environments. The company recently won a 2024 CyberSecured Award from Security Today for “policy management,” and was named a 2024 Top InfoSec Innovator in Network Security and Management by Cyber Defense Magazine.



  • Tufin’s commitment to its employees is also being recognized by the industry, with the company recently being named one of BuiltIn’s Best Midsize Places to Work in Boston.
