Highlights from this discussion include:
As enterprises are moving their branch applications to the cloud, they are adopting software defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) to intelligently route traffic directly to the Internet without passing it through the data center. Connecting branch offices directly to the Internet increases their security risk and security management costs.
Check Point and VMware SD-WAN have partnered to jointly assure the performance and security of enterprise and cloud applications over the Internet and hybrid-WAN, while dramatically simplifying deployments and reducing costs.
VMware SD-WAN is the industry’s most widely deployed branch and data center connectivity platform that enables simple, agile and more secure branch connectivity for thousands of customers globally.
Check Point CloudGuard Connect and CloudGuard Edge on-premises and cloud-powered security services deliver top-rated Threat Prevention updated in real-time with the latest ThreatCloud intelligence, a unified management platform that can reduce operational expenses by up to 40%, and provide a seamless integration with VMware SD-WAN.
