As a Microsoft Azure Certified partner, Check Point enables customers to seamlessly protect all Azure assets and workloads with industry-leading advanced threat prevention security, while also providing secure connectivity across on-premises networks and their Azure cloud environments. “We are excited to extend vSEC security protections to Microsoft Azure Stack,” said Itai Greenberg, Head of Cloud Security Business at Check Point. “vSEC delivers comprehensive threat prevention with complete visibility of all threats across both physical and virtual environments, helping organizations migrate securely to cloud-based environments. Supporting Azure Stack gives our customers the opportunity to increase their network flexibility and control, by adopting a consistent framework, processes and tools for application development as well as security.” The rapid adoption of cloud technologies by organizations of all sizes continues to drive more and more data beyond traditional premises-based security controls.
