Tufin SecureCloud
enables companies
to secure hybrid
cloud environments
ufin, a company pioneering
a policy-centric approach to
security and IT operations,
has announced the availability of
Tufin SecureCloud, a security policy
automation service for enterprises
needing to gain visibility and control of
the security posture of their cloud-native
and hybrid cloud environments.
T
SecureCloud, built from the ground up
and optimised for the cloud, is a major
new addition to the Tufin Orchestration
Suite – establishing Tufin as a vendor
that unifies security policy management
across on-premises, cloud-native and
hybrid clouds.
SecureCloud combines and extends
the functionality previously available in
Tufin Orca and Tufin Iris, and unifies
cloud security policy management
for container, microservices and
hybrid cloud environments in a single
solution – giving organisations greater
visibility and control of cloud security,
regardless of environment.
“Enterprises are rapidly moving
workloads to the cloud to gain greater
business agility, achieve business goals
and drive Digital Transformation efforts,”
said Ruvi Kitov, CEO and Co-Founder of
Tufin. “However, these new workloads
often integrate with systems that reside
in the data centre or private cloud.
With the addition of SecureCloud to the
Tufin Orchestration Suite, for the first
time, companies can enforce consistent
policies across the entire hybrid
cloud, enabling unified security policy
management, regardless of environment.
“Tufin’s policy centric, automation-based
approach to managing security enables
organisations to move to the cloud
without compromising on security or
developer productivity.”

OPEN UNIVERSITY AND CISCO TEAM
UP WITH FUTURELEARN LAUNCH
CYBERSECURITY MICROCREDENTIAL
he Open University
has launched a new
microcredential in Cyber
Security Operations, endorsed by
the Cisco Networking Academy and
available now on FutureLearn.com.
T
The course will allow students to
develop the skills and knowledge
needed to respond to and prevent
cyberattacks and cybercrimes.
The need for skilled cybersecurity
talent is greater than ever, with the
global IT security skills shortages
already surpassing four million last
year, according to the latest research
from (ISC) 2 .
Microcredentials are accredited
online courses designed to help
learners build specialised skills
relevant to their career. The Cyber
Security Operations microcredential
is designed for professionals looking
to enter the cybersecurity industry
and fill the growing skills gap, as well
as those with a background in the area
who are looking to upskill and reskill
themselves to fill new in-demand roles.
Andrew Smith, Senior Lecturer in
Networking at the Open University, said:
“Many Senior IT professionals recognise
that a cyberattack on their organisation
is inevitable. They also recognise that
staff within their organisations lack
sufficient skills to investigate the cause
and impact. Cisco Cyber Security
Operations is a step in the right direction
– ensuring that IT professionals acquire
the primary skills required when dealing
with any cyber incident.”
Students who successfully complete
the microcredential will receive 15
UK credits at Postgraduate level from
The Open University, a Certificate of
Completion from Cisco Networking
Academy and a significant discount on
the optional Cisco CCNA Cyber Security
Operations Exam should they pass the
embedded final assessment at 75% or
higher on the first attempt.
