As enterprises deploy software across multiple clouds, they face additional security complications. Check Point Software and Palo Alto Networks this week launched competing products designed to help enterprises meet those needs.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP) introduced Cloud Guard on Wednesday, to protect enterprises against attacks on both cloud infrastructure workloads and applications. Check Point says it provides centralized management across multiple cloud platforms.

About the Author(s)

Mitch Wagner

Mitch Wagner

Executive Editor, Light Reading

San Diego-based Mitch Wagner is many things. As well as being "our guy" on the West Coast (of the US, not Scotland, or anywhere else with indifferent meteorological conditions), he's a husband (to his wife), dissatisfied Democrat, American (so he could be President some day), nonobservant Jew, and science fiction fan. Not necessarily in that order.

\r\n

He's also one half of a special duo, along with Minnie, who is the co-habitor of the West Coast Bureau and Light Reading's primary chewer of sticks, though she is not the only one on the team who regularly munches on bark.

\r\n

Wagner, whose previous positions include Editor-in-Chief at Internet Evolution and Executive Editor at InformationWeek, will be responsible for tracking and reporting on developments in Silicon Valley and other US West Coast hotspots of communications technology innovation.

\r\n

Beats: Software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), IP networking, and colored foods (such as 'green rice').
