Check Point Software Technologies, a provider of cybersecurity solutions, has purchased Dome9 in a move to transform cloud security.
The company said Tel Aviv, Israel-based Dome9 will enhance its fully consolidated Infinity architecture and its Cloud Security offering with advanced active policy enforcement and multi-cloud protection capabilities.
Founded in 2011, Dome9 enables security and compliance for rapid public cloud adoption. Dome9 customers use its platform to secure multi-cloud deployments across Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
The company provides cloud-native security capabilities including intuitive visualisation of security posture, compliance and governance automation, privileged identity protection and cloud traffic and event analysis, enabling cloud deployments safer and more manageable.
Check Point claims Dome9 will enable its customers to acquire an ‘even more powerful’ security visibility and control across multi-cloud environments through its Infinity’s total protection architecture.
“Dome9 and Check Point’s CloudGuard together provide the best cloud security solution in the industry. Dome9’s platform will add rich cloud management and active policy enforcement capabilities to Check Point’s Infinity Architecture, particularly complementing the CloudGuard security product family and make our broad solution even more differentiated in the rapidly moving Cyber Security environment,” said Gil Shwed, Check Point CEO.
“As 5th generation cyber attacks increasingly target enterprise cloud environments, so our Gen V cyber security solution must effectively protect this vector. This acquisition will enhance our ability to deliver the benefits of Cloud with the critical security that must extend from the networks, endpoints and data centers to the Cloud and Mobile enterprise-wide.”
Led by Gil Shwed, CEO, Check Point is a provider of cyber security solutions to corporate enterprises and governments globally. Its new Gen V advanced threat prevention protects all networks, cloud and mobile operations of a business against all known attacks combined with a comprehensive single point of control management system. The company, which protects over 100,000 organisations of all sizes, has offices in San Carlos, CA, and Tel Aviv, Israel.
Joining the Check Point family will make Dome9’s unique technologies an integral part of the industry’s most comprehensive Gen V cyber security solution, Check Point Infinity,” said Zohar Alon, Dome9 co-founder and CEO. “Combining forces allows us to offer the most comprehensive platform to protect customer cloud deployments as they grow and evolve.”
