Advanced Network Security with Check Point CloudGuard and Nutanix Cloud Platform – Check Point Blog

As businesses continue to migrate to the cloud, delivering the highest level of network security becomes increasingly challenging due to infrastructure and workload complexity. Check Point CloudGuard Network Security offers a comprehensive solution with Nutanix Cloud Platform to support advanced networking architectures like Transit VPC and Tenant VPC in highly available configurations. By leveraging the Nutanix Service Insertion Framework and AHV hypervisor support, CloudGuard provides consistent security policy enforcement, full threat visibility across physical datacenters, hyperconverged infrastructure, and public cloud environments. CloudGuard also delivers robust SD-WAN capabilities and end-to-end protection for private, hybrid, and multicloud environments. Let’s explore how this integration simplifies cloud network security.

When it comes to securing cloud assets the focus has been on protecting the perimeter—or north-south traffic—going into and out of the cloud. There is also a severe security risk when threats can traverse unimpeded once inside the cloud or datacenter network. Traditional network security approaches to this problem are manual, operationally complex and slow, and are unable to keep pace with dynamic cloud and application environments. What is needed is a cloud-aware network security solution that can perform deep packet inspection of traffic and apply advanced security capabilities to help…
