A key challenge is that traditional security solutions are not designed to keep pace with dynamic virtual network changes that come with rapid application provisioning.
Check Point Software Technologies, a global leading provider of cyber security solutions with a presence in the India and SAARC region, believes that protecting the modern data center requires greater flexibility and innovation to keep pace with the migration of application workloads to the cloud. The company offers a range of solutions to help enterprises and government agencies secure their data centers.
A prevention-first philosophy
It is not uncommon to find enterprises trying to protect their IT environments with older, detection-only technologies that only protect against viruses, application attacks, and payload delivery. This often leaves networks, virtualized data centers, cloud environments, and mobile exposed.
Through Infinity, Check Point offers a unified security architecture supported by automatic, real-time threat intelligence that helps organizations take a prevention-first approach towards cyber security.
“The Gen VI threats of today are large scale and have the capability to inflict widespread damage. Such threats require protection that is focused on attack prevention and speed of response,” says Venugopal N, Head of Security Engineering - India, Check Point Software Technologies.
“This is why Check Point offers automatic and immediate threat intelligence through new techniques that analyze behavior at the OS and CPU levels to prevent malware at the exploit phase before it has an opportunity to deploy. Our proactive file sanitation also offers true, powerful prevention without processing delays,” he adds.
