As the cyber security landscape continues to increase in complexity, we will look at how automation and concise remediation helps to simplify your administration and operations day-to-day.

Check Point Events
Join the conversation with experts from AWS, Hashicorp , Microsoft, and Check Point as they discuss strategies to take a zero trust approach to securing and preventing threats to modern day cloud environments. Learn how companies are leveraging automation and AI to optimize their cloud security operations, and how they are able to streamline once manual tasks to protect their workloads and prevent threats in real time. Hear from end users regarding tools they are using to integrate modern security and scanning capabilities into their pipeline to prevent threats across their entire cloud environment from development through runtime.
We are conducting a usability study about the onboarding experience for Harmony Connect. Customers and partners who are interested in Harmony Connect for roaming users (and have not yet tested it) are invited to join a one-hour remote session in our lab.
Remote work is no longer the exception, it is the rule. Unfortunately, remote workers may unwittingly put their organizations at risk by visiting phishing sites or downloading malware.
Organizations must recalibrate their internet access security approach around remote workers. Read Check Point’s New Buyer’s Guide to Secure Internet Access to learn how to best protect your organization.
