Solution to provide extra layers of security to
protect expanded attack surface created by increase in remote
work
Remote work has become the new normal. And traditional methods
of securing corporate networks no longer cut it. The abrupt and
significant increase in the number of employees working from home
has expanded the attack surface and threats that companies must
guard against. And Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) and global
cybersecurity leader Check Point Software Technologies are teaming
help them do it. The companies today announced plans to enable easy
deployment and management of additional next-generation firewalls
within Citrix SD-WAN to provide companies with extra layers of
security to protect their assets at branches and beyond.
“Companies have been forced to accelerate the transition of
their networks to cloud and SaaS to enable better application
performance and visibility and security needs to adapt with them,”
said Chalan Aras, Vice President, SD-WAN and Intelligent Traffic
Management, Citrix. “Together with Check Point Software
Technologies, we can deliver an advanced SD-WAN solution that
protects organizations as their workspaces and applications as they
make the shift.”
WAN Edge Networking Made Easy
Citrix takes a comprehensive approach to safeguarding the WAN
edge, combining integrated firewall and edge security capabilities
with next-generation and cloud firewalls from leading vendors to
provide organizations with flexibility and choice in how they
protect their branches.
Citrix and Check Point Software Technologies already offer a
joint solution with Citrix SD-WAN and Check Point CloudGuard. The
planned integration of Citrix SD-WAN and Check Point CloudGuard
Edge and Check Point CloudGuard Connect will further enable
distributed enterprises to automate and enhance their network and
cloud protection in a simple, cost-effective way.
“Connecting branches directly to the cloud using SD-WAN
significantly increases security risks,” said Itai Greenberg, Vice
President of Product Management and Product Marketing, Check Point
Software Technologies. ”With Citrix SD-WAN and CloudGuard Connect
and CloudGuard Edge, enterprises can now deploy Check Point’s
top-rated threat prevention and intelligence to protect their
branch offices against the latest Zero Day and Gen V security
threats.”
Leveraging Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator for unified management and
control alongside Check Point’s industry leading, next-generation
firewall products, IT organizations will be able to:
- Streamline provisioning of a wide range of multi-layer security
services from Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator, available via Citrix
Cloud
- Build and enforce consistent access control policies based on
applications and users across network and cloud
- Automate provisioning of Check Point CloudGuard Edge on the
Citrix 1100 appliance, as a virtual network function (VNF)
- Simplify connections to Check Point CloudGuard Connect service
for consistent policy enforcement
- Apply security zone segmentation to protect users,
applications, and data
