Tufin - firewall policy, read back to you
A company whose product is understanding the rules you already wrote.
Tufin builds software that analyses, visualises and changes firewall policy across a mixed estate. The market it sits in exists for one reason: past a few hundred rules, written by several people over several years, nobody can say with confidence what a firewall permits - and the device itself will not tell you, because it answers the question it was asked rather than the question you meant.
The category's honest description is unflattering to everyone in it. These are products sold because a control an organisation already owns has become unreadable, and the alternative to buying one is an engineer with a spreadsheet and a change window. That is not a failure of firewalls; it is what happens to any ruleset that outlives the people who wrote it.
In 2026 the Skybox domain resolves to a Tufin page welcoming Skybox customers, which is the usual ending in this segment: four companies competing to explain the same estates, consolidating into fewer.

Fetched 2026-08-11: the domain resolves to a Tufin transition page, which is how the absorption is visible from outside.
