Check Point extends the capabilities of the CloudGuard cloud security platform to support Kubernetes services, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Elastic Container Service (ECS).

The company also offers additional security capabilities for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Serverless computing solutions, such as AWS Lambda and related services like AWS Fargate, API Gateway, DynamoDB and Kinesis. Such capabilities come from the recent acquisition of serverless security provider Protego, and ensures Kubenetes configurations comply with established container security baselines such as CIS Kubernetes Benchmark or NIST 800-190.

The functionality complements existing CloudGuard capabilities to secure traffic between Kubernetes and on-premise or cloud assets using IPsec VPN. A Serverless Code Scanning feature detects, alerts and remediates security and compliance risks within a Serverless environment.

“No matter which cloud resources organizations choose, it’s critical that they have complete visibility and control over them to meet Cloud workload protection (CWPP) and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) requirements,” Check Point says. “These enhancements to CloudGuard, including the recent acquisition of Protego, deliver powerful CSPM and CWPP capabilities across enterprises’ entire cloud deployments, continuously analyzing, detecting any misconfigurations or security issues, and remediating them. This ensures organizations can fully exploit the cloud’s agility without compromising their security posture.”
