Solution

Daymark conducted extensive evaluations of next-generation firewall solutions and identified Check Point as an industry leader. They chose Check Point vSEC for Microsoft Azure for both on-premises and cloud environments. The Check Point vSEC solution extends security to the Azure cloud infrastructure with a full range of protections offered by the Check Point Threat Prevention Security architecture including anti-malware, zero-day protection using sandboxing technology. vSEC for Microsoft Azure prevents network attacks and data breaches while enabling secure connectivity to Azure environments. The deployment of Check Point vSEC was straightforward for the team. They deployed vSEC in Daymark office locations and connected them together in the Azure environment. Daymark customers can also deploy Check Point vSEC in their production environments.

Impact #1	The Check Point vSEC solution has significantly improved Daymark's security posture. It has increased the team’s visibility into threats, enabling them to identify and prevent thousands of threats and bad actors from penetrating the company’s perimeter defenses, both on premises and in Azure cloud. The solution also gives Daymark customers more flexibility and agility. They can deploy Check Point vSEC in their production environments and when they clone environments for development, quality assurance, testing, or other purposes, the Check Point management server’s leverage RESTful API’s to automatically deploy and configure new vSEC appliances for each environment. The solution also works well with Daymark’s other partners, such as Cisco ACI, VMware NSX, and Microsoft, allowing the team to see across their entire environment and consistently apply the right level of security protections—whether on premises or in the cloud.
