Five business use cases for evaluating Azure Virtual WAN security solutions

To help organizations who are evaluating security solutions to protect their Virtual WAN deployments, this article considers five business use cases and explains how Check Point enhances and complements Azure security with its best-of-breed, enterprise-grade cloud network security.
Such security solutions use multiple layered security technologies including Firewall, IPS, Application Control, DLP and others.
Azure Virtual WAN customers may choose Microsoft's cloud network security solution because they perceive it easy to use and scale due to the native integration into the Virtual WAN hub, and also because of the ease of purchasing and bundling Azure security together with Virtual WAN and other Azure services.
There are business scenarios where organizations prefer to enhance and complement Azure security with recognized cybersecurity vendor solutions, to achieve enterprise-grade cloud network security and secured connectivity.
Organizations with on-premises network security, in the form of Next Generation Firewalls or security gateway appliances, prefer to extend their existing security posture to the cloud, for reasons of consistency, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, to mitigate risk, and to maximize operational efficiency.
The obvious choice for these organizations is to use the same security solution from their on-premises network security vendor, assuming it is easily available as a cloud firewall.
They will receive the same level of security effectiveness without hiring new security engineers and with minimal training of the existing security team, contributing to lowest Total Cost of Ownership.
Most importantly, their security policies are now consistent between their on-prem and Azure Virtual WAN and other cloud deployments, minimizing organizational risk.
Organizations using multi-clouds or hybrid clouds should choose a security solution that provides consistent and efficient management of cloud network security over their entire IT infrastructure, preferably from a single pane-of-glass management console.
The global shortage of security engineers leaves many organizations with overworked and overwhelmed security teams with limited bandwidth, and who desire efficient solutions with high ease-of-use.
Organizations evaluating cloud network security solutions can benefit from industry analyst recommendations and lab testing results for several reasons, including their objective evaluation, expertise and insight, market intelligence and industry credibility.
CloudGuard Network Security for Azure Virtual WAN was the first Microsoft partner security solution to be integrated with Azure Virtual WAN, and its security gateways are provisioned automatically into the Virtual WAN hub directly from Azure Marketplace using an Azure Managed Application.
Extending on-premises network security to the cloud: CloudGuard customers minimize organizational risk easily and intuitively, using the same security policies and increasing operational efficiency without the complexity of additional security solutions.
Organizations sensitive to security risk: CloudGuard provides industry-leading cloud network security with the highest security effectiveness, and is the best choice for customers with critical business applications.
Security teams want efficiency and ease-of-use: Check Point testing shows CloudGuard is easiest to use over standard cloud network security use cases.
If you're a Microsoft Azure customer with a MACC agreement, you can purchase CloudGuard Network Security for Azure Virtual WAN on Azure Marketplace, and the purchase will contribute towards your Azure consumption commitment.
This article assessed five common business use cases for Azure Virtual WAN customers who are evaluating Virtual WAN security solutions, and why CloudGuard Network Security is the best choice.
It is important to emphasize that in almost every business scenario, the attack surface is large and growing, and organizations need best-of-breed security solutions from industry-recognized security companies.
Please note that these use cases focus on business-level consideration and does not deep-dive into the technical advantages of Check Point's solution for Azure Virtual WAN security.
If you are in the process of planning your Azure Virtual WAN security, please schedule a demo and a cloud security expert will help to understand your needs.
