Check Point introduces a new cloud security product family

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has announced the CloudGuard product family to protect enterprises from Gen V cyber attacks on cloud applications and infrastructure. The company is also introducing CloudGuard SaaS protecting enterprises against cyber attacks on SaaS applications. CloudGuard is a part of the Check Point Infinity architecture, built on industry-proven and award-winning technologies to provide comprehensive Gen V cyber protection for the cloud.

Enterprise cloud adoption is accelerating, enabling greater business agility and efficiencies through both deployment of hybrid cloud infrastructures like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and VMWare NSX; and migration to cloud-based applications such as Microsoft Office365, Google G-Suite, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte and more.

There is also an increase in multi-vector attacks on cloud workloads and cloud applications including malware, as well as increasing incidences of account hijacking.

According to Check Point research, half of all breaches of enterprise SaaS applications are the result of account hijacks.

“Security is continually cited as a key barrier to wide-spread enterprise cloud adoption,” said Gil Shwed, CEO at Check Point. “Our new CloudGuard product family provides consistent and comprehensive threat prevention for cloud based SaaS applications and infrastructure workloads.”

CloudGuard SaaS is an industry-first set of technologies designed to provide advanced security and threat prevention for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. CloudGuard SaaS also prevents account hijacking, using patent-pending ID-Guard technology.

Key security features include:

  • Zero-day Threat Protection: Prevents APTs and unknown zero-day malware from infecting content in SaaS applications using real-time sandboxing, ransomware protection, anti-bot technologies and real-time cloud-based threat intelligence.
  • Identity Protection with ID-Guard (patent-pending) technology: Identifies and blocks threat actors or impostors to access SaaS accounts, and blocks unauthorized users and compromised devices.
  • Data Protection: Automatically forces encryption of sensitive data, and blocks and quarantines unauthorized sharing of sensitive files.

“After migrating our organization to Office365 and OneDrive, we searched for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution to protect them and decided on Check Point CloudGuard,” said Amir Shay, Security Officer, Neopharm Group. “Since adopting CloudGuard SaaS, it has blocked numerous attacks on our applications, including account takeover, phishing and ransomware attacks.”

CloudGuard IaaS, formerly vSEC and now a member of the CloudGuard family, CloudGuard IaaS provides advanced Gen V security/threat prevention of attacks on infrastructure and workloads for all leading public and private cloud platforms including: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Cisco ACI, OpenStack, VMware NSX, VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware ESX, Alibaba Cloud, KVM, Hyper-V and more.

“With cloud adoption at an all-time high, cloud security is clearly a major concern for most enterprises,” said Doug Cahill, group director and senior cybersecurity analyst at market research firm, Enterprise Strategy Group. “As enterprises evaluate cloud security solutions, they must look to offerings like Check Point’s CloudGuard family of security solutions that not only provide advanced threat protection, but also keep applications, infrastructure and data in the cloud safe.”

Gen V cyber attacks are defined as large scale and fast moving attacks across mobile, cloud and on-premise networks. These sophisticated attacks easily bypass the conventional, static detection-based defenses being used by most organizations today.

With the shared ownership of assets in the cloud between cloud provider and end user, knowing who is responsible for security is often unclear, and can lead to additional confusion. CloudGuard is the industry’s only complete family of cloud security solutions focused on advanced threat prevention and keeping enterprise cloud applications, infrastructure and data protected from Gen V cyber attacks.

Check Point CloudGuard IaaS is available immediately; CloudGuard SaaS will be available in early Q2’18.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
