Tufin unveils AI assistants & executive security hub

Tufin has launched four new AI-powered assistants and an AI-powered executive dashboard, adding natural-language search and request workflows to its network security posture management tools.

The additions sit within TufinAI, its embedded AI engine, and the Unified Control Plane, which Tufin positions as a way to manage security posture across complex, multi-vendor networks. The new tools target tasks that security and network teams often handle through manual searches, specialist knowledge, or fixed reporting views.

Security operations teams face growing volumes of policy changes and alerts as organisations add cloud services, hybrid connectivity, and segmented network designs. Attackers have also adopted automation and AI techniques. Across the cybersecurity market, vendors have responded by adding generative AI interfaces on top of existing data and workflows.

Tufin cited survey findings from Deloitte and OpenAI on the spread of enterprise AI use and reported productivity gains. It framed its approach around faster access to security posture information and fewer manual steps in common operations.

Four assistants

The four new assistants cover security rules, device discovery, compliance exceptions, and access change requests. Each uses natural-language prompts as the front end, according to Tufin.

TufinAI Assistant Rule Search is designed to help teams locate and understand relevant security rules through natural-language queries. Tufin said it can improve collaboration and speed decision-making when teams need to determine which rule applies and what it does.

TufinAI Assistant Device Search focuses on finding devices and related policy context across a network. Users can search without navigating multiple screens or applying manual filters, Tufin said, positioning it as a way to reduce time spent on troubleshooting and inventory checks.

TufinAI Assistant for Unified Security Policy (USP) Exception Search targets compliance exceptions within an organisation's master policy. It is intended to identify, view, and analyse exceptions. Tufin said it simplifies exception management and improves "security policy hygiene" by surfacing policy violations and gaps.

TufinAI Assistant Access Request is aimed at the workflow for requesting network access changes. Tufin said users can submit requests and provide additional information using natural-language prompts. It also said the assistant automates change requests and approvals, cutting the time needed to complete routine access modifications.

Tufin said the new assistants extend an existing set of tools called TufinMate, which it markets to IT staff, security operations centre teams, and network security engineers. The company did not provide pricing details.

Executive view

Alongside the assistants, Tufin announced the TufinAI Executive Dashboard, describing it as an alternative to static dashboards with fixed layouts. The dashboard can be configured using natural-language prompts, with users selecting which data should appear and how it is presented.

Tufin said the dashboard is designed to answer common security leadership questions such as "are we secure?" and "where are we at risk?". It also listed incident investigation, change impact analysis, compliance reporting, and operational monitoring as expected use cases.

According to the company, the dashboard reduces reliance on bespoke development for different stakeholders and reporting requirements, while improving visibility into risk and the impact of network changes across hybrid environments.

The TufinAI Executive Dashboard beta will be available at the end of March 2026, Tufin said.

Product positioning

Tufin operates in a market where vendors are trying to reduce operational workload in security and networking through automation and policy-based controls. Network security posture management tools typically integrate data from firewalls, cloud security controls, and network segmentation technologies to give teams a consolidated view of what is enforced and what has changed.

Natural-language interfaces are increasingly the user layer vendors promote for these platforms. The tools depend on accurate policy data, configuration state, and inventory information. Many organisations still struggle with fragmented sources of truth across network teams, security teams, and cloud platforms.

Tufin's announcements emphasise faster access to rule and device context, quicker change workflows, and a more tailored executive reporting view without relying on fixed templates.

Shay Dayan, senior vice president of products and engineering at Tufin, said:

"At Tufin, we're dedicated to eliminating the historically accepted tradeoff between security, customization, and ease-of-use. The combination of advanced AI-powered tools with our Unified Control Plane helps teams simplify network security operations, remove friction from workflows, and scale without additional resources. As network complexity grows, it is our job to accelerate AI innovations that can make it easier to understand and manage."

Tufin said the assistants and dashboard are designed for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, reflecting the mix of infrastructure and security controls many enterprises manage.
