“As we currently utilize a variety of Google services, it was a natural fit for us to build our new cloud environment around Google Cloud Platform,” said Günther Oberhofer, Head of Networks and Communications, Conrad Electronic SE. “Enabling strong security was also a key part of that strategy. Check Point vSEC lets us securely leverage the cloud to its fullest capabilities, extending our on-premise data center while protecting critical assets from external and internal threats, all while achieving speed, agility and cost-savings offered by Google Cloud Platform.”

Check Point vSEC for Google Cloud Platform extends advanced, multi-layered security to protect workloads in the cloud from external attacks while enabling secured connectivity from on-premise enterprise networks to Google Cloud Platform. Additionally, it prevents the lateral movement of threats between servers hosted inside the cloud. Designed for the dynamic security requirements of cloud deployments, vSEC automatically scales as needed and enhances visibility by integrating Google Cloud Platform objects into security policy and logs.

On-demand deployment and usage-based (Pay-as-you-Grow model) licensing lowers TCO of cloud deployments. The Single Pane of Glass Security Management for public and private cloud as well as on-premise physical networks ensures consistent policy management and visibility across cloud infrastructures.
