Management team gains substantial protection while navigating ongoing configuration challenges
The most valuable features of Check Point CloudGuard Code Security include our approach to manage it via the management we have on-premises, and we also deploy the same extension management of CloudGuard to manage all the virtual systems on Azure. We effectively use artificial intelligence with Check Point CloudGuard Code Security, as we have teams that work with AI and we frequently manage our firewalls using AI along with the CloudGuard and all virtual systems.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helped us to reduce vulnerabilities."
"Having a cloud detection response helps to very quickly identify security threats in our environment."
"Knowing what measures we must take allows us to reduce costs associated with security in the cloud by providing early identification of a risk or a possible security breach."
"We can ensure that by following and adapting our needs based on these guidelines we will be a great organization with a strong vision and a great security framework established to protect us."
"You can maintain a legal framework structure at all times."
"Its fastest and most outstanding characteristic is ensuring a development line that will not lead to applying applications or code development."
"Compared to what we used before, it's helping us to be more efficient in managing our traffic."
"The implementation of this tool for security management and control is very simple."
"With the pipeline of detection and DefectDojo, we are able to see the real vulnerabilities, and we fix them."
 

Cons

"There needs to be better security around API integration."
"They could include web functionalities such as sandboxing."
"I am satisfied with the performance and results enhanced by this product since we deployed it."
"I would like this solution to be extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"There are a lot of opportunities for how they can use their technology to do more. That would be more like sensitive data discovery and other things besides Git Repos, but then you are expanding the scope of what necessarily their product is."
"Some challenges with Check Point CloudGuard Code Security include that we noticed FortiGate is much more efficient on AWS, and our team prefers to deploy FortiGate there instead of CloudGuard due to the management challenges on the cloud."
"The ease of use could be better."
"This is a highly technical solution for users who do not have security experience. It requires specialized knowledge of configurations to use it correctly."
"We need something to notify the team responsible for a product when vulnerabilities are found."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is extremely affordable and high value for cost."
