Check Point Security Management provides advanced security management platform for enterprises to be more efficient at deploying protections across their organizations and across public, private and hybrid clouds.
Efficient: Automation and granular delegation help alleviate operational overhead. The Security Management API allows security teams to automate any task or create web portals for security self-service. Management interface features anticipate the administrator's daily needs, providing security intelligence to make better policy decisions.
Fully Integrated: Security Management has logging, monitoring, event correlation and reporting in one place. A visual dashboard provides full visibility into security across the network, helping organizations monitor the status of enforcement points and stay alert to potential threats. The customizable dashboard provides a full view of the security posture and drilldown capabilities into incident or log details. Reports are configurable and accessible from any web browser.
Security Management is required to control CloudGuard Network Security Gateways.

What do you like best about the product?
The way CloudGuard handles cloud traffic feels effortless. I don’t have to constantly tweak settings or chase down alerts it just works in the background, keeping everything secure.
The integration with different cloud platforms is smooth, and I get the visibility I need without digging through endless dashboards.

What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that could be improved is the initial setup it’s not exactly plug and play.
If you’re not familiar with cloud architectures or Check Point’s ecosystem, getting everything configured can take some time.
Once it’s running, it’s solid, but that onboarding curve might be steep for smaller teams or those new to cloud security.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudGuard helps me stay ahead of cloud threats without having to be a cloud security expert.
Before, I was constantly worried about misconfigurations or missing something critical.
Now, it handles the heavy lifting monitoring traffic, spotting risks, and keeping things locked down.
It’s like having a quiet guardian that watches over my cloud setup while I focus on everything else.

CloudGuard Network Security helps us protect cloud workloads and traffic from external threats and misconfigurations.
