SAN CARLOS, CA: Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd has announced the extension of its security offerings for public cloud services, bringing the company’s security gateways software to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
The growth of cloud IT infrastructure (Infrastructure as a Service) brings a multitude of benefits to organizations, including cost savings, elastic compute resources, less time necessary in managing IT environments and more time growing the business. While it may be easier and cheaper to manage IT resources in the cloud, it is equally as important to secure both the on premise and cloud-based infrastructure.
“Cloud computing creates tremendous opportunities for organizations to grow in a flexible and cost-effective way. As such, Check Point strongly believes in enabling this trend by offering security and access controls to protect both on premise and cloud assets,” said Dorit Dor, vice president of product at Check Point Software Technologies. “We’re delighted to be Microsoft Azure Certified to help our joint customers manage all of their security needs, safeguarding corporate assets across the organization.”
