The Check Point Web Gateway is a great security asset, providing the website and application control our organization needs. You can set customized access policies to filter network traffic, restricting or even blocking access to both websites and applications when necessary. 

It operates as a firewall and protects our cloud environment as an additional layer to the infrastructure. It is cloud-based, which makes its deployment very simple and easy to manage and maintain. The solution is efficient overall.

Check Point Web Gateway was implemented in the organization as one of the main security products to avoid any malicious attack on our infrastructure. 

Using this tool, we were able to increase and filter the vulnerabilities in the traffic or Internet access of the collaborators, thus preventing any type of malware from entering our network. 

Implementing this web gateway in the organization helped us keep devices, applications, web security, and URL filtering secure, and with this, we have advanced a lot in security. These features are very necessary.

Given the current security landscape, we have sought solutions that allow us to protect our users and our web pages, to protect us against malware or against web threats or fake pages, as, in some cases, users find it difficult to identify threats or fakes. 

Given this need and the experience we have had with other solutions, we sought an integration that allows us to help improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the security team. We needed a consolidated view of security in the cloud. This solution allows us, the administrators of the company, to quickly identify threats and security configuration problems in the cloud and take actions to remediate them.

We have the Check Point Firewall as a perimeter gateway and we are using it across seven geolocations. Each location has a cluster. We use it to block high-risk and malicious websites and applications. It enforces compliance policies and regulations at each of the sites.

With this Web gateway, we are secure and it protects our applications or URL with multi-layer architecture security. We are using web security, URL filtering, and antivirus, and we will enable the HTTPS inspection shorty.

We needed to be able to filter traffic, to avoid consumption of resources, and to avoid loss of unnecessary bandwidth so we can use the resources correctly.

We needed to control sites since some consumptions do not represent and should not be allowed within the network by the company. Creating policies to be able to segment, allow, and block depending on the profiles created has been helpful.

We also needed to validate the access behavior through monitoring to determine what additional rules we could provide to improve security.

Protecting us from advance threats, malware, phishing, and ransomware gave us the initiative to contact our checkpoint vendor and show interest in a tool that could satisfy this need. 

Then we were allowed to try this type of tool and see the results.      

Our main motivation for using this type of tool was to improve the level of security and effectiveness by preventing or protecting the company from threats on sites and applications that could compromise the company's information and equipment.
