Product Features

CURRENT BUSINESS CLIMATE: CLOUDY

The need to improve efficiencies, drive innovation and increase business agility is driving more and more organizations to the clouds. So much so that analyst firm Gartner predicts worldwide public cloud services revenue will reach over $411 billion by 2020. Thus, it’s no surprise that nearly 95 percent of businesses are currently using the cloud either for SaaS-based applications, public cloud networking, public / private hybrid networks or all of the above.

Organizations are able to bring their products to market faster leveraging shared resources of cloud services instead of spending countless resources and time designing, deploying and managing physical infrastructure. This is a vastly different model than was possible ten or twenty years ago. And with the digital transformation of business processes, competencies and models now influencing how organizations utilize Information Technology, the role and importance of the cloud will only continue to grow.

NOT EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING

Despite the rapid adoption of cloud, protecting assets and data remains a top concern. Moving applications and workloads to the cloud creates unique security challenges which expose businesses to a host of new threats.

Compounding the issue is the fact that the cloud is a shared responsibility when it comes to security. Cloud service providers deliver strong security controls to protect the cloud fabric but they have no knowledge of “normal” customer traffic and thus are unable to determine malicious content or activity from benign. At the same time, native cloud security capabilities do not offer the same robust protections customers enjoy on their premises-based networks, leaving cloud services exposed and prone to new threats such as user account takeovers.
It is time for a new security model; one that delivers a complete architecture focused on preventing attacks, provides true ease of operations and stays aligned to the dynamic nature of cloud environments.

Check Point CloudGuard, a new family of cloud security products, is designed to prevent the latest fifth generation (Gen V) multi-vector and polymorphic cyberattacks targeting enterprise cloud services. The robust portfolio, part of the Infinity Architecture, includes CloudGuard SaaS and CloudGuard IaaS, giving organizations unmatched protections for cloud infrastructure (IaaS), workloads and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.

INTRODUCING CHECK POINT CLOUDGUARD™

CHECK POINT CLOUDGUARD SAAS

Organizations seeking to optimize business operations and reduce costs are increasingly moving to cloud applications via software-as-a-service (SaaS). However, SaaS applications expose businesses to a variety of risks ranging from external threats to unauthorized access of corporate SaaS accounts. Check Point CloudGuard SaaS is a new cloud service purpose-built to prevent cyber criminals from targeting SaaS applications.

While most SaaS security solutions focus on application control and data leakage, CloudGuard SaaS takes security to the next level by providing complete protection against SaaS account takeovers, sophisticated malware and zero-day threats, sensitive data sharing and even shadow IT. CloudGuard SaaS is an industry-first security solution designed to deliver advanced security and threat prevention for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, and uses a patent-pending technology that prevents account takeover as well as hacking of SaaS applications.

CHECK POINT CLOUDGUARD IAAS

Process efficiencies and increased network agility are driving IaaS and SDN technology adoption at a rapid pace. But these new infrastructures also present businesses with a unique set of security challenges. Check Point CloudGuard IaaS protects assets in the cloud from the most sophisticated Gen V cyber-threats with dynamic scalability, intelligent provisioning and consistent control across physical and virtual networks.
