Check Point Supports Google Network Security Integration In today's rapidly evolving cloud landscape, ensuring comprehensive security without compromising operational efficiency presents significant challenges for organizations. Check Point is pleased to announce our support for Google Cloud Network Security Integration. This innovation represents a transformative approach to cloud security implementation.

Scaling Hybrid Cloud Network Security

Network performance and security are critical IT components to any organization but especially true for industries under heavy regulations like Financial Services, Healthcare and Government. Given the criticality of networks to success, many IT organizations gain comfort, expertise, and confidence with their network security tools and vendors. Anyone who runs applications at scale know they can be finicky and difficult to maintain, so you never make changes unnecessarily, including your network security stack. Given that backdrop IT organizations still must make changes to adapt to this ever-changing world. Many struggle to ensure network security and performance of their increasingly complex hybrid cloud networks, especially given uncertain economic times: 1. Encountering difficulties implementing consistent

security policies across hundreds or thousands of hybrid cloud networks

2. Keeping up with and securing the growing number of network interconnects

3. Dealing with manual traffic routing to security appliances, which becomes error-prone and resource- intensive within dynamic cloud environments

“This innovation with

Google and Check Point

Cloud Firewall enables

organizations to protect

their Google Cloud

environments across

the globe more

efficiently while also

unifying all their

network security under

one console.”

Check Point and Google Network Security Integration: A Game-Changing Solution

Google Cloud Network Security Integration addresses these challenges by seamlessly integrating third-party security solutions like Check Point Cloud Firewall with AI-powered threat prevention, unified logging, and granular access control. This new integration enables consistent any-to-any network security with policy enforcement across data centers, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments without requiring modifications to existing routing policies or network architectures (see Fig 1).

This partnership leverages Google GENEVE tunneling technology to securely deliver traffic to Check Point Cloud Firewall in-band inspection gateways and firewalls while preserving original packet integrity, ensuring both security and performance. This partnership delivers exactly what is needed by network security teams seeking to secure network traffic flows in and out of Google Cloud and other networks.

Strategic Benefits for Network Security

Optimized Resource Utilization This Google Cloud integration employs granular quintuple traffic matching through firewall rules, ensuring only relevant traffic is sent to Check Point for inspection. This precision aligns with the Check Point commitment to cloud operational efficiency, optimizing resource utilization and reducing overall security costs. It also provides our joint customers more granular flexibility and security options.

Scalable and Secure Network Security Check Point adaptive policies collect and leverage contextual information about cloud configurations: using asset tags, objects, security groups and more to automatically adjust security policies after any changes in dynamic cloud environments without a policy push or manual update. It minimizes security management costs by utilizing native Google Cloud objects and tags to apply policies across interconnected networks. This scales security efficiently across all networks no matter where they are located - all managed by a single console.

Accelerated Application Deployment Google Cloud Network Security Integration enables infrastructure teams to offer security capabilities as a service. This approach empowers application development teams to consume the offering dynamically, accelerating deployment timelines while maintaining comprehensive protection. Check Point Cloud Firewall is integrated with leading configuration management tools including Terraform and Ansible. This integration enables Google and Check Point customers to command and control their cloud-native security gateways programmatically while supporting Infrastructure as Code and other modern CI/CD practices.

Simplified Compliance Check Point Cloud Firewall provides key capabilities that integrate seamlessly with cloud providers like Google Cloud simplifying and lowering the cost of security compliance. Network security policies can be very granular but can also be defined globally and applied across all Check Point gateways and firewalls in any Google Cloud VPC (virtual private cloud), region, and zone. And to make life even easier, all of your security policies and logs can be accessed directly from the single Check Point console, no matter what public or private cloud you have deployed. No need to manage or maintain multiple security tools or create custom dashboards in order to gain full visibility of what is occurring across your networks. The adoption of Check Point Cloud Firewall allows organizations to automate their security, tackle the complexities of multi-cloud environments, and securely operate in any cloud and now even easier in Google Cloud.

Check Point Commitment to Cloud Security Innovation As a trusted security partner for Google Cloud, Check Point continues to evolve our solutions to address the complex security challenges of modern cloud environments. Check Point support for Google Cloud Network Security Integration demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing frictionless security that enhances rather than impedes cloud adoption and innovation.
