Check Point Security Gateway Virtual Edition (VE)
protects dynamic virtualized environments and external networks, such as private and public clouds, from internal and external threats by securing virtual machines and applications with the full range of
Check Point Software Blades.
Features
Inter-VM Traffic Inspection
Ensure virtual machine security with inter-VM traffic inspection using granular firewall policies and integrated intrusion prevention (IPS).
Security Gateway
VE uses
VMware VMsafe technology
to enforce hypervisor security.
Security Enforcement for Dynamic Virtualized Environments
Protection for virtual machines is uninterrupted during live migration from one host to another and while new virtual machines are added. Newly added virtual machines are segregated from existing VMs with automatic security policy enforcement.
Complete Virtualized Security Solution
Security Gateway VE
consolidates proven security functions. VMs are protected from internal and external threats with best-in-class integrated firewall, IPS, DLP, application control, identity awareness, VPN, anti-virus, anti-spam, URL filtering, web security and mobile access.
Easy-to-Deploy Security for Virtualized Environments
Security Gateway VE reduces administration overhead by automatically applying security to virtual machines without the need to change network topology configuration for VMs, VLANs or VSwitches.
Single, Unified Management
Security Gateway VE is managed from the same security management or
Multi-Domain Management (MDM)
as all other physical
Check Point security
gateways and appliances for consistent security without expense of separate management consoles.
