History

[edit]

Until its initial public offering in 2019, Tufin was privately funded.[3]

On April 6, 2022, Tufin announced that 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. Since the closing of the transaction, Tufin is a private company.[4]
