Infinity Portal secures businesses’ security infrastructure

San Carlos, California-headquartered Check Point Software Technologies, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions to governments and corporate enterprises globally, has launched Check Point Infinity Portal – its advanced cloud-based platform – exclusively for UAE-based corporate enterprises.

Delivered via Amazon Web Services, the new platform equips UAE-based commercial entities with cutting-edge tools for advanced threat prevention and comprehensive security management.

The Infinity Portal offers a comprehensive security management platform for entire organisations, covering all aspects from networks and cloud to mobile and IoT devices.

It provides a centralised view of activities bolstered by insights from Check Point ThreatCloud AI and over 60 AI engines.

Unified security management

The portal ensures unified security management across various solutions like Quantum, CloudGuard, and Harmony and uses AI to craft dynamic security policies.

All logs and security events are stored in the portal’s cloud-based big data platform.

The portal emphasises agility and simplicity.

It allows organisations to quickly and securely onboard and manage their security infrastructure, backed by streamlined reports, event management, and a rich API library for swift threat response.

The Check Point Infinity Portal fully adheres to the UAE’s data privacy regulations and ensures the secure retention of customer data within the UAE’s borders.

The general availability of the Infinity Portal in the UAE is set for the end of the third quarter of 2023.

Total consolidation

All the capabilities of the portal’s architecture are consolidated into a single pane of glass, uniting Check Point Quantum for network security, Check Point CloudGuard for comprehensive cloud protection, Check Point Harmony for secure remote users and cross-platform access, and Check Point Horizon for innovative prevention-first security operations and unified management.

Ram Narayanan, Country Manager at Check Point Software Technologies, Middle East, said: “In an era when the UAE is rapidly establishing itself as a digital frontrunner, data privacy and robust cybersecurity imperatives cannot be overlooked.
