CloudGuard Network Security

CloudGuard provides industry-leading advanced


threat prevention and cloud network security for
your public, private and hybrid-clouds.

Today’s Forecast: Cloudy


The desire to transition from a hardware-centric to an application-centric network construct is driving
more and more organizations to embrace the cloud as part of their IT strategy. As a result, businesses
are rapidly adopting cloud-based solutions to virtualize their datacenters as well as extend applications
and data to public cloud environments. However, security concerns associated with moving data beyond
traditional IT controls keeps many organizations from fully embracing the cloud. Businesses want the
ability to control their own data and keep it private, protect themselves from cyber threats and securely
connect their cloud with their traditional ‘on-premises’ network, all while maintaining compliance with
regulatory mandates.

Private Cloud Security


Network virtualization has created a dramatic shift in traffic behavior. Now, more and more traffic is
going East–West in the data center creating security gaps and other challenges. With few controls to
secure East–West Traffic, threats can now travel unimpeded once inside the data center.

Supporting leading network virtualization solutions, CloudGuard enhances native micro-segmentation


capabilities to provide proactive protections for East–West traffic inside virtual data centers. Check Point
also integrates with private Cloud Management platforms such as VMware NSX, VMware vCenter,
Nutanix AHV, Cisco ACI, Microsoft Azure Stack and OpenStack to facilitate automated security service
insertion, context sharing of security groups, tags and threat information as well as automated
quarantine and remediation of infected VMs.

CloudGuard gives customers complete traffic visibility and reporting in addition to proactive protection
from even the most advanced threats within virtual network environments. Check Point CloudGuard
delivers advanced threat protections to prevent the lateral spread of threats within software-defined data
centers as well as the visibility and control to effectively manage security in both physical and virtual
environments — all from a single unified management solution.

Public Cloud Security


Moving computing resources and data to public clouds means security responsibilities are now shared
between you and your cloud provider. While infrastructure protection is delivered by the cloud provider,
customers want the ability to control their own data and protect their cloud assets all while complying
with regulatory mandates.

Check Point CloudGuard seamlessly extends advanced security protections to leading public and hybrid
cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware Cloud on
AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and more.
Flexible and expandable, CloudGuard fits the dynamic needs of public cloud deployments, enabling
secure connectivity from enterprise premises networks to the cloud while inspecting all data entering
and leaving private subnets in virtual private clouds (VPCs).

CloudGuard provides consistent security policy enforcement and full visibility across physical, premises-
based private cloud and public cloud networks.

Advanced Threat Prevention and


Unified Management Across Clouds
The appetite for cloud solutions shows no signs of slowing down. Still, security concerns are often cited
as a key barrier to wide-scale enterprise cloud adoption. When you move computing resources and data
to cloud environments, the responsibility of security now becomes shared between you and your cloud
provider. The loss of control moving applications and data out of the enterprise to a cloud provider
along with the lack of consistent monitoring and governance of those resources creates a variety of
new security challenges.

Seamlessly integrating with leading cloud platforms and orchestration tools, CloudGuard Network
Security can be deployed in minutes while supporting key features such as dynamic security policies
and elastic scalability. CloudGuard Network Security provides industry-leading advanced threat protection
and single pane of glass management for easily extending comprehensive security protections to
cloud environments. These powerful capabilities allow you to grow your cloud security elastically
while keeping pace with the dynamic requirements of your business.
