Absolute Zero Trust Security
Adopting a Zero Trust approach with individual solutions can result in complex deployments and security gaps.
A holistic, practical implementation of zero trust security can be done by using Check Point Infinity’s consolidated Security Architecture.
This ensures Absolute Zero Trust Security, delivering a complete, efficient, and preventive implementation of the Zero Trust model. It is efficient to manage Zero Trust. It is achieved by the following:
- Centralized Security Management
- Unified Policy
What is Check Point’s Approach to Zero Trust Security?
Check Point Infinity consolidates diverse security functions and solutions, facilitating the implementation of these below 7 principles:
7 Principles of Extended Zero Trust Security
Zero Trust for Networks
Prevents malicious lateral movement with granular network segmentation. Provides granular network segmentation in public/private cloud and LAN environments. With detailed visibility into users, groups, apps, machines, and connection types, organizations could enforce a “Least Privileged” access policy, ensuring only authorized users and devices access the protected assets.
Zero Trust Workloads
Protects workloads with extended visibility & adaptable policy. Secures public cloud workloads with seamless integration across various cloud infra, offering complete visibility and control in dynamic environments.
Zero Trust People
Use context-aware authorization to protect against identity theft. It ensure data access is granted solely to authorized users through rigorous identity authentication, employing Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), context-aware policies like time and geo-location etc., and anomaly detection.
Zero Trust Data
Classifying, protecting and encrypting data, wherever it is. Check Point Infinity provides comprehensive data protection against theft, corruption, and unintentional loss, wherever it resides.
- Data Encryption
- Data Loss Prevention
- Data Management Categorization & Classification
Zero Trust Devices
Securing all devices from threats, and isolating them if and when compromised. This solution blocks infected devices, including mobile devices, workstations, IoT devices, & Industrial Control Systems (ICS), from accessing corporate data and assets. It ensures continuous protection for employees’ devices, maintaining corporate security policies on untrusted networks.
Visibility and Analytics
This solution offers complete visibility into the organization’s security posture. It detects and mitigates threats in real-time by viewing and analysing billions of log records. It utilizes real-time forensics through the Cyber Attack Dashboard to investigate events. It ensures compliance with corporate policies and Data Protection Regulations.
Automation & Orchestration
Use rich APIs to automate security tasks & incident response. Check Point Infinity features a robust set of APIs that facilitate automated integration with the broader IT environment, promoting speed, agility, improved incident response, policy accuracy, and task delegation.
Wrap Up
The evolving IT environment and dynamic cyber threat landscape render legacy security infra ineffective. Operating on the outdated assumption that everything within the security perimeter can be trusted, these systems leave organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Zero Trust Security promotes a security stance of “Default Deny,” wherein systems remain isolated until a satisfactory level of trust has been verified.
Secure Network Solutions (SNS) are the Doctors’ of Network Security for the last 23 years across PAN India.
