What is our primary use case?
I have been using it in my AWS-Azure multi-cloud schema in order to monitor and protect transactions and data from all escalations - not only what we have at the database level. It helps us protect the data of our big data.
It has been the complete solution to help cover our lack of security at the infrastructure level. Not only does it cover the servers, but at the workstation level, it is monitoring what users are doing. It identifies actions and can make automatic remediation at a user level.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution has helped us to detect possible attacks or access that is not allowed. It also has helped us to identify the configurations that do not meet the company standards and allows us to improve security practices. As a result, we were able to make the necessary adjustments to be more armored and work safely.
It gives us the peace of mind we need to continue exploring areas of our scheme that will help us with our projects in the short, medium, and long term. It will help us to continue innovating and reinventing ourselves with greater and greater security.
What is most valuable?
Data security has been very valuable because data is the soul of a company and if the data is not protected, the company has no possibility of existing.

What needs improvement?
Today, globally, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value of their data, but even with all the existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure security, when the truth is that providers only protect their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility, in this sense we can evaluate many solutions that help us protect our clouds, however, and after trying 5 different solutions, the checkpoint solution is by far The most complete
