Check Point CloudGuard
Check Point cloud native security, delivered through CloudGuard, provides automated security and advanced threat prevention to protect your cloud assets and workloads from the most sophisticated cyber-attacks. Secure your cloud and workload environment with one unified cloud native security platform- automate security posture management, gain visibility of threats, and control your workloads across clouds.
Unified Security for Multi-Cloud
CloudGuard unifies cloud security to provide intelligent threat prevention. Securely protect and prevent threats across AWS, Azure, Google, VMware, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Kubernetes, etc all from one platform. Provide centralized visualization for all of your cloud traffic, security alerts, assets and auto-remediation all from one platform
Security & Posture Management
Through High Fidelity Posture Management, CloudGuard delivers zero trust, multi-layer, advanced threat prevention, leveraging enriched intelligence with the highest levels of intelligence inputs, in context. In addition, with its comprehensive compliance and security engine, CloudGuard prevents critical security misconfigurations, and ensures compliance with more than 50 compliance frameworks and best practices.
Automated DEVSECOPS
CloudGuard allows organizations to shift-left for DevOps to seamlessly evaluate security posture, configuration, and governance during CI/CD. Seamlessly scale and deploy your security in real-time through integration with tools like CloudFormation and Terraform, and evaluate posture pre-deployment to scale across thousands of assets. Automatically define applications security profiles and enforce zero trust boundaries between workloads.
Cloud Network Security
CloudGuard Public Cloud Network Security provides advanced threat prevention and network security through a virtual security gateway – automated and unified across all your multi-cloud and on-premises environments. CloudGuard provides cloud native proteciton with the industry's highest security effectiveness, and supports rapid deployment, agility and automation of CI/CD workflows. Create consistent policy to manage security across on-prem and multi-cloud environments.
Cloud Security Posture Management
CloudGuard Cloud Security Posture Management automates governance across multi-cloud assets and services including visualization. Through CloudGuard High Fidelity Posture Management visualize and assess security posture, detect misconfigurations, model and actively enforce gold standard policies, in context and with enriched intelligence. Protect against attacks and insider threats, cloud security intelligence for cloud intrusion detection, and comply with regulatory requirements and best practices all from one unified platform.
Cloud Workload Protection
CloudGuard Workload Protection provides seamless vulnerability assessment and runtime protection of modern cloud workloads, including serverless functions and containers – automating security with minimal overhead across your multicloud environment. Continuously scan workload environments to increase security posture and provide continuous observability and assessment, with self-protection to continuously evaluate and adapt security posture.
Cloud Web App & API Protection
CloudGuard moves application security closer to the edge of the workload, giving more real-time granular protection than a traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs). CloudGuard protects web applications and APIs from the most sophisticated types of threats, with an automated, cloud-native security platform. Where traditional WAFs are built using “one-size-fits-all” rule tables even though no two applications are the same, CloudGuard transcends rule-based security by leveraging the power of AI. Automation is a critical component which ensures that security is maintained even in dynamic app development cycles.
Cloud Intelligence & Threat Hunting
CloudGuard Cloud Intelligence and Threat Hunting provides cloud-native threat security forensics through rich, machine learning visualization, giving real-time context of threats and anomalies across your mutli-cloud environment. Detect anomalies, activate alerts, quarantine threats, and remediate threats automatically, utilizing the largest threat intelligence feed. © 2020 Check Point Software Technologies

With the move to cloud based infrastructures, the requirement for security within the cloud is exploding.
Cloud infrastructure is fundamentally good at controlling data in and out of an array, but this simply isn't sufficient if your cloud infrastructure is complex or if security is required to segment data or filter based on user privilege. In a large data-lake, security at the perimeter simply isn't enough.
Check Point is the first to market with cloud-native security architecture which can properly manage complex arrays.
It's important to consider a solution which has been built from the ground up to accommodate cloud. Whichever solution is chosen, the requirements will be complex, and so will the implementation. Our team has significant experience in this space and in every case, the deployment has been bespoke and the architecture has needed careful consideration in order to be successful.
It's also worth considering that the requirements for cloud security are quite different to those of a physical network and in every engagement, we've needed to help client teams not only to create their optimum set up, but also make the mental leap in understanding demanded by cloud architecture where accepted norms no longer apply.
Our team has unparalleled experience of dealing with these situations and is the best choice for implementation of your environment.
