Check Point Software has been named a Leader in GigaOm’s latest Radar Report for Security Policy as Code. Check Point’s CloudGuard, part of the Infinity Platform, offers comprehensive code security capabilities designed to help businesses defend against the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats.
“At Check Point, we recognise the challenges in safeguarding digital assets in the cloud. Being recognised as a Leader in GigaOm’s Security Policy as Code report is a testament to our commitment,” said Paul Barbosa, VP of Cloud Security at Check Point Software Technologies. “Our CloudGuard solution allows organizations to seamlessly integrate security into their development workflows, ensuring strong protection from the earliest stages.”
As businesses increasingly depend on advanced software, securing code becomes vital for protecting sensitive information and maintaining smooth operations. Cloud practitioners are turning to dependable security solutions like code security, which is a critical part of Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). Check Point’s 2024 Cloud Security Report reveals that only 21% of organisations focus on prevention to stop attacks before they occur, signaling a significant gap in cloud security strategies. Adopting Security Policy as Code allows companies to prioritise proactive security, reduce errors, streamline management, and address threats early in the development process, thus securing their cloud environments more effectively.
“CloudGuard leverages Check Point’s extensive cybersecurity expertise and integrates seamlessly with the Infinity platform, delivering advanced threat prevention and security management capabilities across diverse environments,” noted Whit Walters, an analyst at GigaOm. “It is especially suitable for organisations in complex multicloud or hybrid environments, particularly those with strong DevOps cultures.”
Key features of CloudGuard Code Security include:
- Integrated Security Across CI/CD Pipelines: Language-agnostic security scanning for early detection and resolution of vulnerabilities and exposed secrets, reducing risks in production environments.
- Automated DevSecOps Practices: Enforces consistent security policies and regulatory compliance, optimising security while integrating with DevOps for rapid development without sacrificing protection.
- Advanced Threat Detection and Prevention: Identifies vulnerabilities, malware, and poor security practices, significantly reducing the chances of costly security breaches.
- Actionable Remediation and Continuous Improvement: Provides clear remediation steps for security issues, enabling developers to quickly address vulnerabilities and enhance security practices.
