Why CheckPoint?

Many vendors and cloud provider offer their own product in terms of VPN gateways, so a valid question is: why should we use CheckPoint CloudGuard for our remote access VPN users? CheckPoint offers a broad set of features within the CloudGuard Gateway, which is simply a virtual version of the world-wide used appliances. Therefore, those gateways do not only provide a single set of services and features, but a wide range of all required security features to ensure a secure operation. Additionally, the cloud centralized approach of a VPN gateway is able to move the endpoints closer to the service edge and therefore increase the usability and performance.
