Cloud Security
Check Point’s comprehensive portfolio of cloud security solutions earned high rankings in six cloud-related categories. Avanan, a Check Point Company, leads the Cloud Email Security category for customer satisfaction. One reason is because it replaces the need for multiple tools to secure the complete cloud collaboration suite. The other reason is for its advanced protection against phishing and malicious emails.

Customers with public, private or hybrid clouds describe these solutions as easy to use and deploy, as well as delivering outstanding threat prevention across applications and devices. Check Point CloudGuard again ranked among the top 50 solutions for Cloud Workload Protection Platforms. The same advanced protection is securing servers, cloud infrastructure and virtual machines (VMs) from threats. The product also won accolades for Cloud Compliance, providing unified control of security across multiple cloud infrastructure and easy monitoring for compliance with security frameworks.
