Solution to provide extra
layers of security to protect expanded attack surface created by increase in
remote work
Remote work has become the new
normal. And traditional methods of securing corporate networks no longer cut
it. The abrupt and significant increase in the number of employees working from
home has expanded the attack surface and threats that companies must guard
against. And Citrix Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) and global cybersecurity leader Check Point Software Technologies are
teaming to help them do it. The companies announced plans to enable easy
deployment and management of additional next-generation firewalls within Citrix® SD-WAN to provide
companies with extra layers of security to protect their assets at branches and
beyond.
WAN Edge Networking Made Easy
Citrix
takes a comprehensive approach to safeguarding the WAN edge, combining
integrated firewall and edge security capabilities with next-generation and
cloud firewalls from leading vendors to provide organizations with flexibility
and choice in how they protect their branches.
Citrix
and Check Point Software Technologies already offer a joint solution with
Citrix SD-WAN and Check Point
CloudGuard. The planned integration of Citrix SD-WAN and Check Point
CloudGuard Edge and Check Point
CloudGuard Connect will further enable distributed enterprises to
automate and enhance their network and cloud protection in a simple,
cost-effective way.
Leveraging Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator for unified
management and control alongside Check Point’s industry leading,
next-generation firewall products, IT organizations will be able to:
· Streamline provisioning of a wide range of
multi-layer security services from Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator, available via
Citrix Cloud
· Build and enforce consistent access control policies
based on applications and users across network and cloud
· Automate provisioning of Check Point CloudGuard Edge
on the Citrix 1100 appliance, as a virtual network function (VNF)
· Simplify connections to Check Point CloudGuard
Connect service for consistent policy enforcement
· Apply security zone segmentation to protect users,
applications, and data
