Check Point Extends Advanced Security to Microsoft Azure Stack
September 26 2017 - 9:00AM
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP) today
announced that its flagship vSEC cloud security solution for
Microsoft Azure has been enhanced to support Azure Stack,
delivering consistent security across Azure public and hybrid cloud
environments. As a Microsoft Azure Certified partner, Check Point
enables customers to seamlessly protect all Azure assets and
workloads with industry-leading advanced threat prevention
security, while also providing secure connectivity across
on-premises networks and their Azure cloud environments.
“We are excited to extend vSEC security protections to Microsoft
Azure Stack,” said Itai Greenberg, Head of Cloud Security Business
at Check Point. “vSEC delivers comprehensive threat prevention with
complete visibility of all threats across both physical and virtual
environments, helping organizations migrate securely to cloud-based
environments. Supporting Azure Stack gives our customers the
opportunity to increase their network flexibility and control, by
adopting a consistent framework, processes and tools for
application development as well as security.”
The rapid adoption of cloud technologies by organizations of all
sizes continues to drive more and more data beyond traditional
premises-based security controls. Achieving a consistent security
posture across an increasingly diverse and distributed network
creates a host of new challenges. Check Point and Microsoft enjoy a
rich track-record of working to develop solutions that help
organizations to securely adopt the latest technologies to securely
drive their businesses forward.
Check Point vSEC extends advanced, multi-layered security to
protect data and assets in the cloud from malware and other
sophisticated threats. Designed for the dynamic and elastic nature
of Azure environments, vSEC automatically adapts policies to
changes in the cloud environment by leveraging contextual data
about VMs, groups, tags and other Azure defined objects. This
provides enhanced security protections tuned to the exacting needs
of the environment. What’s more, vSEC seamlessly follows workloads
and data from Azure public cloud to Azure Stack environments,
complimenting Microsoft’s native controls while also enabling
consistent security policy, enforcement, logging and reporting –
all from a single unified management console.
Key Highlights Include:
- Advanced Threat Prevention protects cloud
assets against external and internal threats. vSEC compliments
native Azure controls by securing traffic with comprehensive
multi-layered security.
- Single Pane of Glass Security Management for
public and private cloud as well as on-premises networks ensures
consistent policy management and visibility across cloud
infrastructures.
- Security policy, logging and reporting
leverages Microsoft Azure Cloud defined objects enhancing
visibility.
- Any Cloud, Any Service, Always Secure – with
support for Azure Stack, Check Point continues to provide one of
the industry’s broadest advanced threat prevention security
solutions for any cloud environment: public, private and
hybrid.
"As an extension of Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Azure Stack
enables a truly consistent hybrid cloud solution for customers,
which empowers them to maximize their investments across cloud and
on-premises environments,” said Mark Jewett, Senior Director, Azure
Hybrid Product Marketing, Microsoft Corp. "We are pleased that
Check Point continues to make its security expertise available to
help our mutual customers improve the security of their hybrid
networks."
