Integrated Network Verification & Automation
Network teams often find themselves caught between the need to make network and security changes quickly while allowing enough time for due diligence to ensure those changes are secure. By combining the network automation capabilities of Itential and verification capabilities of Batfish Enterprise, teams no longer have to make this choice and are able to increase the velocity of network changes across scaling infrastructure all while eliminating downtime.
Deploy Network Changes without Unintentional Security Risks through Network Automation + Validation
In today’s dynamic IT environment, network and security teams often find themselves caught between the need to make network and security changes quickly while allowing enough time for due diligence to ensure those changes are secure. IT teams are deploying applications at a rapid pace to support their business, so network and security teams need a modern way to rapidly deploy changes without creating unintentional security risks to the organization. This is where automation and validation go hand in hand. The Itential Automation Platform provides a low-code, drag-and-drop interface for rapid automation while Batfish Enterprise provides a platform to set up policy rule validation on firewall configuration changes.
Network & Cloud Automation
Itential is the only automation platform built to support both network and cloud, making it easy for enterprise organizations to maintain network compliance, reduce manual operations, and simplify network management. The Itential Automation Platform is a low-code cloud-native SaaS solution that seamlessly connects IT systems with network technologies for end-to-end network configuration, compliance, and automation.
Predict & Test the Impact of Network Changes
Batfish Enterprise predicts and tests the impact of network changes, ensuring that only safe changes are deployed to your network, and gets new levels of visibility into end-to-end network behavior—on-premises, hybrid, or in a public cloud. Batfish Enterprise provides iron-tight assurances on network security and availability using built-in analysis that exhaustively considers all possible packets and failure scenarios based on high-fidelity models spanning a wide range of equipment and cloud vendors.
Itential + Batfish Enterprise:
Automating Closed Loop Policy Configuration Management
Batfish Enterprise allows network engineers to set up policy rule validation so configuration changes into firewalls (and other network devices) aren’t a guessing game. But now that teams can finally feel better about making changes, there is more to consider – the change process, the actual change itself, the policy validation, and pre/post checks. That’s where Itential comes in. The Itential Automation Platform is an end-to-end network automation platform purpose-built for this very use case.
Technology Integration
By using Itential’s API integration with Batfish Enterprise, Itential can automate the entire process of closed loop policy configuration management. Users can also leverage Intentionet’s Itential Pre-Built contributions to perform policy validation (pre- and post-change) with Batfish Enterprise.
With Batfish Enterprise and Itential, network teams can take comfort in knowing their configuration will meet the configured network policy, all while enjoying the full benefits of automation.
By integrating the two platforms together, customers can now:
- Predict impact before a network change is made.
- Verify the change was made correctly after it’s applied.
- Eliminate network downtime.

Itential’s Integrated Approach to Network Automation & Orchestration
The Itential Platform is engineered to integrate quickly with any network and IT system that your organization has adopted today, and tomorrow. Itential can automate all types of networks, from traditional CLI-based network devices to more modern networking solutions that use API-driven dashboards and even cloud-native network services. By supporting both networks and IT systems, an automation workflow can be built to automate more than just changes to network devices, they can include gathering data from an IPAM, opening and updating tickets in ServiceNow, and notifying team members in real time with updates in Slack. Supporting the orchestration of the entire end-to-end process, from ticket creation to ticket closure, allows network teams to spend more time focusing on the network.
