Secure Workloads in Microsoft Azure with CloudGuard Network Security
About Check Point CloudGuard Network Security
A complete advanced threat prevention solution, CloudGuard protects customer assets in Azure, Azure Stack and hybrid clouds from sophisticated cloud threats—delivered everywhere at scale and speed.
What we offer
CloudGuard delivers the protection of Check Point’s industry-leading advanced cloud network threat prevention technologies: Firewall, IPS, DLP, Application Control, IPsec VPN, and more. Enhancing and complementing Azure’s security features, it integrates with Azure Sentinel, Gateway Load Balancer, Azure Virtual WAN, and others. These integrations enable Azure and Check Point security tools to leverage each other, providing more effective, efficient results than the products by themselves. Auto-provisioning and auto-scaling along with automatic policy updates ensure security protections keep pace with all changes to your cloud assets. CloudGuard’s unified console delivers a “single pane of glass” for consistent visibility, policy management, logging, reporting and control across Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments and networks, as well as on-premises deployments.
Customer Feedback
“We now have increased the overall level of protection, while also reducing the work needed to manage security policies and rules by more than 50%.” — Dan Fletcher, Network Service Manager, Clarks
Secure sensitive workloads on Microsoft Azure
Check Point Software Technologies provides resources for businesses to secure sensitive workloads in Microsoft Azure.
Why Check Point and Microsoft Azure?
With CloudGuard’s best-in-class advanced threat prevention, administrators and security teams gain peace of mind when migrating sensitive workloads to Microsoft Azure. For Check Point on-premises customers, the unified security management console remains the same, lowering the learning curve, enabling consistent policy management and allowing rapid migration to the cloud.
Leverage the best of both security worlds
Integrated with crucial native security functions of Microsoft Azure—including Azure Sentinel, Gateway Load Balancer, Azure Virtual WAN, and more—CloudGuard and Azure work better when used together.
