Check Point Software Corp. Cloudguard CONNECT SecurityAAS FROM 1U & NGTX Sub FOR 1Y

As enterprises increasingly move their on-premises branch office workloads and applications to SaaS applications, they are adopting Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) to intelligently route traffic directly to cloud services using local broadband and to the datacenter using existing MPLS lines. However, connecting branch offices directly to cloud services using a local Internet breakout significantly increases their security risk, as the branches are no longer protected by centralized data center security. This exposes branch offices and the enterprise WAN to sophisticated multi-vector Gen V attacks. A new approach to branch office security that is agile, cost-effective, easy to maintain and always up to date with the latest security is needed. It's time to rethink how security is delivered to remote branch offices.

Check Point CloudGuard Connect is a cloud-hosted network threat prevention service offering a maintenance-free, comprehensive, affordable security solution for remote sites and branch offices. CloudGuard Connect seamlessly delivers the latest and most comprehensive cyber security available, protecting branch offices from the latest generation of targeted and advanced cyber threats. CloudGuard Connect doesn't burden IT staff with deploying or maintaining dedicated hardware and supports adding advanced threat prevention capabilities on top of existing routers or SD-WAN deployments. With a simple and easy setup process, network traffic from existing SD-WAN edge devices are tunneled to a primary cloudbased network security service at a near-by location. A second connection provides redundancy. This ensures branch offices stay connected and removes the operational overhead of deploying and maintaining security for hundreds and thousands of physical devices, reducing overall CAPEX and OPEX costs.
