Check Point Software Technologies has been recognized as a Leader in GigaOm’s Radar Report for Security Policy as Code, showcasing its CloudGuard solution’s ability to integrate security into development processes and secure cloud environments. The solution addresses critical gaps in cloud security by offering advanced threat prevention and management capabilities.
11 September 2024 – Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a leading provider of AI-powered, cloud-delivered cyber security solutions, has been named a Leader in the latest GigaOm Radar Report for Security Policy as Code. This recognition highlights Check Point’s advanced CloudGuard solution, which is part of its Infinity Platform designed to secure cloud environments and address the growing threat landscape.
Paul Barbosa, VP of Cloud Security at Check Point, expressed enthusiasm about the recognition, stating, “This acknowledgment from GigaOm underscores the strength of our CloudGuard solution, which integrates security seamlessly into development processes to ensure robust protection from the outset.” CloudGuard’s robust capabilities enable businesses to integrate security into their continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, addressing vulnerabilities early and optimizing security management.
Check Point’s 2024 Cloud Security Report reveals a critical gap in current strategies, with only 21% of organizations focusing on preventive measures. By adopting Security Policy as Code, organizations can enhance proactive security measures, streamline management, and reduce errors, effectively safeguarding their cloud environments.
Whit Walters, analyst at GigaOm, praised CloudGuard for its advanced threat prevention and management, noting its suitability for complex multicloud and hybrid environments, especially those with a strong DevOps culture.
CloudGuard’s features include:
- Integrated Security Across CI/CD Pipelines: Language-agnostic scanning for early vulnerability detection.
- Automated DevSecOps Practices: Uniform policy enforcement and regulatory compliance integrated with DevOps.
- Advanced Threat Detection and Prevention: Robust capabilities to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities and malware.
- Actionable Remediation and Continuous Improvement: Precise remediation steps to enhance security practices continuously.
A notable example of CloudGuard’s effectiveness is its deployment at a leading European investment bank, where it safeguarded development environments, identified vulnerabilities, and bolstered the overall security posture through comprehensive integration.
