The growth of cloud IT infrastructure (Infrastructure as a Service) brings a multitude of benefits to organizations, including cost savings, elastic compute resources, less time necessary in managing IT environments and more time growing the business. While it may be easier and cheaper to manage IT resources in the cloud, it is equally as important to secure both the on premise and cloud-based infrastructure.
“Cloud computing creates tremendous opportunities for organizations to grow in a flexible and cost-effective way. As such, Check Point strongly believes in enabling this trend by offering security and access controls to protect both on premise and cloud assets,” said Dorit Dor, vice president of product at Check Point Software Technologies. “We’re delighted to be Microsoft Azure Certified to help our joint customers manage all of their security needs, safeguarding corporate assets across the organization.”
Key features include:
· Extension of security to the cloud: Check Point’s Threat Prevention security solution can be deployed in Microsoft Azure, offering the protections needed based on an organization’s public cloud deployment. This allows organizations to deploy a public cloud or a hybrid environment with confidence.
· Quick and easy to enable: Customers can easily deploy the full range of Check Point’s software blade architecture through Azure Marketplace. The Check Point Virtual Security Gateway for Azure supports Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and Anti-Bot Software Blades in Azure protecting the infrastructure from unauthorized access and attacks.
· Easily manage hybrid environments: Organizations can manage their on-premises Check Point enterprise solutions through Check Point’s security management. Whether the solution is physical, in the private cloud, or in the public cloud, the same network policies can be applied to the virtual gateway. Additionally, logs and events from the Check Point Virtual Gateway for Azure can be centrally stored on Check Point’s enterprise management solutions.
