Here's the threads to watch from the last week:
We would like to invite you to join Gil Shwed, Check Point Founder & CEO, in his upcoming ‘Ask Me Anything’ session. Find out what he believes to be the best practices for security during the era of Coronavirus. Whether you have a question regarding cyber security or simply want to learn from what other security professionals are asking, join us on Zoom on May 4th 2020! Post your questions in the Zoom Q&A during the session and we’ll do our best to address them.
And, at the end of the Ask Me Anything, we’ll be drawing a raffle with all attendees. Prizes include a 3600 Quantum Appliance and a bespoke Check Point t-shirt signed by Gil himself.
In addition to reorganizing the landing page for CP4B, we've added a new series of videos on Performance Optimization!
We also added a video on Deploying and Upgrading the Endpoint Security Client.
@Danny seems to be on a roll taking his various one-liners and scripts and turning them into SmartConsole Extensions, usable on R80.30 and above! This week he's produced:
The various mandates in response to COVID-19 have companies encouraging, if not mandating, that people work from home, which means only critical staff can be at the office or in the datacenter. This has led to an increase in the use of the public cloud services from AWS and Azure. Whether the business is one on the front line of combating Coronavirus, or is a financial institution, a manufacturer, a logistics company, or any other vertical, organizations must maintain business continuity during their cloud journeys and continue to provide the same level of security regardless of being in the cloud or on-premises. There has been case after case where a simple mis-configuration in a cloud subsystem has led to data loss.
Our next TechTalk will be done by @Gregory_Pepper on May 6th at 8am Pacific/5pm CEDT and will cover how CloudGuard Dome9 can keep your data secure by ensuring that your public cloud is compliant, secure from attacks, and is protected against mis-configurations. Register Now!
