Check Point Software Introduces Harmony at First Virtual CPX360, the Premier Online Gathering of Security Leaders
February 23 2021 - 1:44PM
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a
leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, has today
kicked off its annual customer and partner event, CPX360. The
two-day virtual event is dedicated to addressing today’s – and
tomorrow’s – most pressing cybersecurity challenges, and helping
organizations of all sizes develop strategies to prevent
cyberthreats and sophisticated hackers impacting their business.
In his keynote ‘New World, New Opportunities’, Check Point
founder and CEO Gil Shwed describes the global impact of the
dramatic shift to home working in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic – and how we saw a huge increase in all types of
cyberattacks over the past year, with a 50% surge in sophisticated
cyber-attacks. Looking ahead, Shwed states that 74% of
organizations will enable employees to work from home or work in
‘hybrid mode’ permanently in 2021 and beyond, and highlighted the
urgent need to secure these new distributed workplaces against
advanced attacks.
Gil Shwed described his vision of the new security challenges on
the horizon. He said: “We are now facing Gen V cyber-attacks, which
are multi-vector, polymorphic and evasive, making them very
difficult to identify. However, the biggest challenge is that a
majority of organizations are only using Gen III security
technology, which is incapable of detecting this current generation
of attacks. Our priority is to bridge that security generation gap
and move organizations to Gen V security technologies to protect
their future.”
Also speaking at the event is Chris Krebs, the former U.S.
Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
(CISA). In his keynote, ‘Behind the Scenes of a Cyber Pandemic’, he
discusses his first-hand experience in his CISA role and some of
the challenges he has had to overcome as the U.S. administration's
most senior cybersecurity official responsible for securing the
presidential election.
Additionally, Itai Greenberg, VP of Product Management reveals
Check Point’s new solution announcements, including Check Point
Harmony, the first unified solution to enable secure connectivity
to any resource anywhere and give total endpoint protection for
users on any device. Harmony secures both corporate and BYOD
devices, and internet connections from known and zero-day attacks,
while giving Zero-Trust access to business applications in a
single, easy to manage solution. Greenberg also gave insights into
Check Point’s solution roadmap for the next year, and how its three
key technology pillars will secure corporate networks, cloud
deployments, and employees in any location.
Other keynote speakers include Mac Avancena, the CISO of Kern
County, California, who describes the “CISO Life, Corona Style”
covering the security and remote working challenges he has overcome
during the pandemic. Maya Horowitz, Director of Threat Intelligence
& Research, who leads Check Point’s malware research globally
also discusses how malware is evolving, and emerging trends.
This year, CPX 360 event is running virtually on Tuesday 23rd
and Wednesday 24th of February and will offer an exclusive behind
the scenes look at the current cyber-pandemic. With more than
21,000 registered people worldwide, this year’s conference is
supported by over 21 sponsors and exhibitors.
