Absolute Zero Trust Security with Check Point Infinity Solution Brief

ABSOLUTE ZERO TRUST SECURITY WITH CHECK POINT INFINITY

ABSOLUTE ZERO TRUST SECURITY

A practical, holistic approach to implementing zero trust security, based on a consolidated Security Architecture, Check Point Infinity.

BACKGROUND

An ever-evolving IT environment and cyber-threat landscape have made legacy security infrastructures ineffective. Based on the outdated assumption that anything within the security perimeter can be trusted, they leave organizations exposed to cyber-attacks. As evidence, 34% of cyber attacks in 2018 were perpetrated by insiders. Across the industry, security professionals are shifting to a Zero Trust security paradigm to close these security gaps. The Extended Zero Trust Security model, introduced by Forrester analysts, enables the adoption of a security posture of “Default Deny” where systems are isolated until a level of trust is established.

A PRACTICAL HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ZERO TRUST SECURITY

Rebuilding security infrastructure around a Zero Trust approach using point solutions may lead to complex deployment and inherent security gaps. To avoid that, Check Point offers a more practical and holistic approach to implement Zero Trust, based on single consolidated cyber-security architecture, Check Point Infinity.

Absolute Zero Trust Security, delivered by Check Point Infinity, offers a complete, efficient, and preventive implementation of the Zero Trust model.

ZERO TRUST NETWORKS

Check Point Security Gateways enable you to create granular network segmentation across public/private cloud and LAN environments. With detailed visibility into the users, groups, applications, machines and connection types on your network, you can set and enforce a "Least Privileged" access policy, so only the right users and devices can access your protected assets.

ZERO TRUST PEOPLE

Check Point Identity Awareness, and Check Point CloudGuard SaaS ensure that access to your data is granted only to authorized users, and only after their identities have been strictly authenticated; using Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, context-aware policies (e.g., time and geo-location of the connection), and anomaly detection.

ZERO TRUST DATA

Check Point Infinity delivers multi-layered data protection that preemptively protects data from theft, corruption, and unintentional loss, wherever it is.

  1. Data Encryption — Check Point Full Disk Encryption, Check Point Media Encryption, and Check Point IPsec.
