Check Point Browser Security vs. Cisco Multicloud Defense

Check Point Harmony Browse is particularly well suited for protecting against the various zero-day attack vectors, which is what it is designed to do. It offers very good protection against users visiting phishing sites, malware sites, downloading or opening ransomware, and just generally providing the safety net required in a corporate environment against users visiting potentially harmful websites.

For WAF functionality and delivery of websites, It's very well suited for traditional firewalling, if you're doing that already, it can be quite difficult to rearchitect everything around this product. So an example of that would be if, like us, you came from a datacenter style architecture within your cloud environment and you are trying to move to a more cloud-fronted architecture. Probably the best way to put it is that can be quite difficult, but once you've deployed, it gets easier operationally. So to kind of reverse engineer everything and then do everything again can be quite tedious in some ways. But that will be specific to people depending on where they're coming from with it.

• DLP monitoring - key item for us which helps to view if anything which should leave our environment our or even between each part of network between/inside specific clouds
• Segmentation of subnet, basic but helpful to isolate each host into their own part of single subnet and connect them, including all visibility features which are offered by Cisco defense systems
• Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment

• When inspecting traffic there can be a some performance degradation.
• We have had a few instances of protections interfering with legitimate traffic. Worth the trade-off though.

• The ability to see traffic flowing and identify malicious traffic is amazing.
• The ease of setting up the connections of the cloud platforms is perfect.
• Dynamic based security policies allow for better protection.
• I don't have any detailed examples of improvement so instead I highlighted a couple of aspects that make the solution amazing.

If it maintains its current direction it will be very disruptive in the cloud security space

As of yet I havent logged a TAC case - It will be interesting to see how it is supported as a new product in the medium term

We were already in the Check Point ecosystem and therefore did not look into alternatives like CrowdStrike or Kaspersky. Looking back, Check Point stacks up very nicely with the competitors on the market in terms of features, but I can't speak to actual real work performance having not used the others.

Cisco Multicloud Defense, Crowd Strike Falcon, and Arctic Wolf Cloud Posture Security Management System as a service SAAS platforms are very comparable platforms. Unfortunately for Croud Strike, they had a mishap recently that caused major downtime for many companies worldwide. I do not think that you would have to worry about this happening with Cisco Multicloud Defense.

• Improved security posture overall with reduced risk.
• Relatively low cost and easy implementation easily recouped by allowing us to shift resources to other priorities and away from manual monitoring tasks.
• Peace of mind for our users knowing they have a safety net in place.
