Check Point CloudGuard Reviews & Insights

We have eliminated all threat-related parameters from the implementation of Check Point Cloud Guard Cloud Native Security Platform. We have been deployed our infrastructure in Microsoft Azure Cloud and worried about the security after the deployment of Check Point Cloud Guard; we have achieved all our security concerns with a Native solution.

Checkpoint Cloud Guard Native Security Platform is much better in native cloud infra security requirements. It works well, and the manageability of said product is good. But If you are having some hybrid kind of environment, it is not suitable, and the products have more complexity to deploy. There are so many other players to do well in this segment.

We have the Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management application is installed for our financial biggie client. It is immensely helping them to identify events, remediate them, keeping the overall compliance posture in good shape. We assisted them to have it integrated with endpoints, systems etc. They have a public cloud environment leveraging AWS in Prod and Multi-cloud in Dev environments.

Scenarios most suited -
1) All the Cyber Security focused development environments
2) Definitely a must for Financial Clients since it deals with live money transactions - Hence it is imperative to keep the Network and tech asset environment secure, and compliant to standards
3) IAM is another area where it plays an IMP part - For eg one of our healthcare clients where they wanted to restrict access
4) Dashboards are also great, we can share the results to GISO/CISO level folks - Custom dashboard feature

We use Dome9 across the organization to help us have full visibility and control of our security compliance, allowing us to minimize our attack surface and protect against vulnerabilities, identity theft, and data loss in the cloud.

Dome9 can be used to have visibility into cloud assets and security policies across all the virtual networks, regions, and accounts on AWS, Azure and GCP. It also provides continuous enforcement of regulatory compliance standards and security best practices, with the ability to auto-remediate misconfigurations. So Dome9 is well suited for companies using cloud providers that want to take control of their resources.

We are currently using Proofpoint CloudGuard Dome9 for advanced threat protection across our AWS and Azure cloud environments. We also leverage the compliance and governance protections as well to ensure we are meeting audit requirements. The easy to read dashboard helps reduce time by providing a real-time snapshot of our cloud environments.

This basically helps us monitor our public cloud environment and also reports on our compliance status based on pre-configured framework templates available within the tool. CloudGuard Dome9 is primarily used by the security team to ensure all assets within the cloud environment are properly configured in line with the organization's policy and to minimize overall risk.

I would say, this was really built for the cloud. It stands out!!

We use it on AWS and it is helping us with the administration. Is mostly used by our security team currently.

CloudGuard Dome9 is perfect when you run your whole infrastracture on the cloud, but it could really use some additional features for those who use both the cloud and on-premise infrastructure.
