Check Point extends 3D security

BANGALORE, INDIA: Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has announced the acquisition of privately held Dynasec Ltd., a provider of Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) solutions.

A company release said that the acquisition extends Check Point 3D Security that enables companies to view security as a business process, focusing on policy, people and enforcement. The combined security and GRC solutions will enable customers to manage their entire 3D Security process from corporate objectives, to policies and security enforcement — maintaining a continuous holistic security and compliance picture.

The release added that organizations today face a growing number of industry standards and government regulations that require CIOs and security officers to implement a consistent security framework that adheres to GRC requirements without disrupting the flow of business — a nearly impossible task when done manually. The acquisition of Dynasec will help organizations accelerate the path to 3D Security by enabling customers to easily translate compliance requirements into IT security policies that map to their overall business objectives.
