Check Point vSEC Achieves AWS Security Competency
November 28 2016 - 9:00AM
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP) today
announced it has attained the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security
Competency, which highlights partners who have demonstrated
technical proficiency and proven customer success in specialized
solution areas. The AWS Security Competency shines a light on Check
Point’s expertise in delivering advanced threat prevention security
to help protect customer data and workloads in the AWS Cloud.
“We are advocates of focusing on core competencies and
partnering with industry leaders that can more effectively manage a
segment of our business,” said Brendan McKernan, president and
co-founder, Courtagen Life Sciences. “Check Point is an ideal
partner because vSEC for AWS allows us to leverage the cloud to its
fullest capabilities. In addition, it gives us the security, speed,
agility and savings to efficiently grow our business.”
“By achieving the AWS Security Competency, Check Point vSEC
provides customers with a new level of confidence to use Check
Point’s SandBlast advanced threat prevention security to deploy
powerful threat prevention security to protect their hybrid clouds
from sophisticated attacks,” said Gabi Reish, vice president of
product management, Check Point. “vSEC for AWS provides
consolidated and consistent security policy management, enforcement
and reporting across on-premise and cloud workloads, making
migration to the AWS cloud painless.”
Check Point vSEC for AWS provides benefits for a broad set of
customer needs, including:
- Extensive protections against cyber threats.
Data and workloads in the cloud are attractive targets for cyber
criminals and require the same level of protections that safeguard
customer data in on-premise environments. Check Point vSEC delivers
consistent and advanced protections against malware and zero-day
attacks across data center and cloud-based workloads.
- Security as dynamic as the cloud. Full support
and seamless integration for Elastic Load Balancing, multiple
Availability Zones and AWS CloudWatch lowers the complexity of
deploying advanced security that can elastically grow and scale
with dynamic cloud environments.
- Breaking down the barriers of managing cloud
security. Cloud security management needs to be simple and
intuitive in order to extend data services and workloads to the
cloud. One-click deployment from AWS Marketplace and AWS
CloudFormation configuration templates quickly secure workloads and
data while automated workflows and orchestration minimize
configuration errors and improve operational efficiency.
“The AWS Security Competency Program is designed to help
customers easily discover and quickly deploy the product solutions
that offer the best fit for their unique project workloads,”
said Tim Jefferson, global ecosystem lead, security, Amazon
Web Services, Inc. “We are pleased Check Point is bringing
their expertise in infrastructure security into the AWS Security
Competency Program.”
As an AWS Security Competency solution, Check Point vSEC
complements existing AWS services and security capabilities making
it easier for customers to deploy security architectures with a
seamless experience across cloud and on-premise environments. To
