Automated Network Security for Nutanix Infrastructure

Benefit from Check Point and Nutanix Integration Together, Nutanix and Check Point deliver a tightly integrated platform and security fabric that unifies security operations, automates protection, and ensures consistent compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By combining Nutanix simplicity and agility with Check Point AI-powered threat prevention, customers gain a secure, scalable foundation to run all applications and data anywhere—benefits that are delivered through advanced software integration and scalable automation.

One Platform, One Security Fabric Nutanix provides a single platform to run all apps and data anywhere; Check Point Cloud Firewall ensures those workloads are protected consistently across on- premises, private, and public clouds. Nutanix native security capabilities and automation are leveraged by Check Point to dynamically insert, deploy and orchestrate advanced security services inside the HCI. Check Point delivers industry leading threat prevention and extraction, stateful firewall, anti-bot, and auto-adapting policies to the Nutanix platform. Top use cases include macro and micro-segmentation via service insertion to secure inter- subnet and inter-VPC traffic to meet rigorous compliance and data protection requirements.

Check Point Cloud Firewall integrates with the Nutanix Cloud Platform to deliver unified threat prevention, micro-segmentation, and automated policy enforcement across on- premises and multicloud environments. Together we ensure Nutanix workloads and data remain secure no matter where they run.

Customers choose Nutanix to run all apps and data anywhere. Integration with Check Point Cloud Firewall ensures simple and scalable network security anywhere with industry- leading threat prevention.

Designed for the dynamic requirements of cloud-based data centers, Cloud Firewall provides automated security provisioning coupled with the most comprehensive protections.

Fully integrated security features include: Dynamic Policies, IPS, Application Control, URL Filtering, IPsec VPN, Anti-Virus, Anti-Bot, Threat Extraction, Threat Emulation, and Zero Phishing. Centrally managed across hybrid infrastructures, Check Point Cloud Firewall provides consistent security policy enforcement, full threat visibility across physical data centers, hyperconverged infrastructure, and public cloud environments.

The integration of Check Point Cloud Firewall with Nutanix brings consistent policy management and enforcement of advanced security protections automatically deployed and dynamically orchestrated into software-defined data center environments. Check Point provides industry-leading threat prevention security to keep data centers protected from even the most sophisticated threats. Fully integrated multi-layered security protections include:

• Stateful Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Anti-Virus, Anti-Phishing, and Anti- Bot technology to protect data centers against lateral movement and credential stealing

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

• Application Control to help create granular policies based on users or groups—to identify, block or limit usage of applications and widgets

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

Ubiquitous Security Enforcement Check Point Cloud Firewall integration with Nutanix delivers highly available network security enabling distributed enforcement at every virtual interface. Integration automates and simplifies the provisioning of Check Point firewalls and gateways into the Nutanix virtual fabric to protect north-south and east-west traffic from threats enabling feasible macro and micro-segmentation. Nutanix basic firewalling capability can be extended with Check Point Cloud Firewall whose layered security policy approach makes it easy to segment a policy, and provide granular rule definitions specific to network subnets.

Automation and Orchestration Check Point Cloud Firewall leverages Nutanix Flow automation for dynamic distribution and orchestration of network traffic. This simplifies data center environments integrating different systems that manage the network security workflow. Also, repetitive manual tasks must be automated to streamline security operations. Check Point Cloud Firewall management API allows granular privilege controls, so that edit privileges can be scoped to a specific rule or object within the policy, restricting what an automated task or software integration can access and change. This ability to automatically provision trusted connectivity provides security teams with the confidence to automate and streamline the entire security workflow.

Context-Aware Security Policies The integration with Nutanix Flow shares context and changes with Check Point Cloud Firewall allowing security categories and VM identities to automatically be imported and reused within Check Point security policies. This reduces security policy creation time from minutes to seconds. The integration enables real-time context sharing of security groups so that any changes or additions to the Nutanix infrastructure are automatically tracked without the need for administrator intervention. Security protections are dynamically applied to newly created applications regardless of where they are hosted.

Centralized and Highly Available Security Security management becomes dramatically simplified with centralized configuration and monitoring by Check Point Cloud Firewall. Traffic is logged and can be easily viewed within common dashboard. Security reports can be generated to track security compliance across both the data center and hybrid network. A layered approach to policy management allows administrators to segment a single policy into sub policies for customized protections and delegation of duties per application or segment. With all aspects of security management such as policy management, logging, monitoring, event analysis and reporting centralized via a single console, security administrators get a holistic view of the security posture across their entire organization—from on premises to HCI to hybrid cloud.
