Check Point Cloud Firewall for Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN Comprehensive Security Protections for Azure Virtual WAN and Hybrid Clouds

CLOUD FIREWALL FOR MICROSOFT AZURE VIRTUAL WAN 2

Hybrid Cloud Security Overview The wide adoption of cloud architectures is being driven by the desire to transform businesses for greater efficiency, speed, agility, and cost controls. While cloud solutions offer many advantages over traditional IT infrastructure, legacy security approaches do not address the dynamic nature of cloud environments and can expose organizations to a new set of security risks.

Security insertion and management is a significant challenge for the cloud. Organizations struggle to manage disparate security solutions for their premises and cloud environments, resulting in a lack of consistent policy enforcement that makes regulatory compliance difficult. At the same time, the frequency and sophistication of threats continues to increase. Security solutions protecting premises-based environments do not extend to the cloud, leaving them exposed and making them attractive targets for cyber criminals. Once a cloud environment is breached, attacks are able to spread laterally from VM to VM within the cloud and even extend externally to corporate networks.

Organizations often own and maintain multiple datacenters in multiple regions and multiple platforms. This creates a challenge for security managers: maintaining, securing, and peering multiple datacenters. Complex connectivity and security posture causes security issues and lack of agility in business growth. Network security in the cloud is more complex than it is on-premises because the cloud is dynamic and ephemeral. When connecting cloud infrastructures with existing infrastructures (on-premises and branch offices) the challenge is even greater.

Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN is a cloud networking service with a hub-and-spoke architecture for connecting multiple Azure regions, on-premises sites, remote users, branch offices and other clouds. Virtual WAN benefits include simplified network management, improved reliability, and reduced costs through optimized routing and traffic flow. Virtual WAN customers can easily deploy and manage complex hybrid networks, enhance application performance, and improve user experiences across different locations.

Cloud Firewall for Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN delivers advanced, multi-layered security for the Virtual WAN deployment, protecting assets in the cloud from attacks while enabling secure connectivity between enterprise networks, Azure vNETs and hybrid networks. Designed for the dynamic security requirements of cloud deployments, Check Point provides advanced threat protections to inspect all traffic flows. Fully integrated security features include: Firewall, IPS, Application Control, IPsec VPN, Antivirus, Anti-Bot, Threat Extraction and Threat Emulation. Cloud Firewall provides consistent security policy management, enforcement, and reporting, making migration to Azure painless.

Comprehensive Security Protections Check Point Cloud Firewall provides industry-leading threat prevention security to keep Azure public cloud and Azure Virtual WAN networks safe from even the most sophisticated attacks. Fully integrated security protections include:

• Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Antivirus, and Anti-Bot technology protect workloads in the cloud from unauthorized access and malicious network attacks

• IPSec VPN allows secure connectivity over a dedicated and encrypted tunnel between Azure Virtual Networks (VNets) and the Enterprise network

• Remote Access allows remote users to connect to Azure clouds using an SSL encrypted connection with two-factor authentication and device pairing

• Data Loss Prevention protects sensitive data from theft or unintentional loss

• SandBlast Zero-Day Protection sandbox technology provides the most advanced protection against malware and zero-day attacks

Centralized Management Policy management is simplified with centralized configuration and monitoring of cloud and on-premises security from a single console. This ensures that the right level of protection is applied consistently across both hybrid cloud and physical networks. Hybrid cloud workload traffic is logged and can be easily viewed within the same dashboard as other logs.

Check Point Security Management provides real-time visibility into activity that spans the data center to the Azure public cloud.
