Competitive
The partnership must give both Check Point and Wiz-which tried to buy last year for $ 23 billion before the four-year-old start start- , Crowds, and IBM. It is also a fast -growing market, where Fortune Business Insights expects to expand from $ 43.74 billion last year to $ 156.25 billion by 2032. Growth in cloud security spending is not surprising due to the continued embrace of the cloud by institutions. In its Cloud annual report, Flexera found that 89 % of 753 of the respondents used to use multiple clouds, up from 87 % in 2023, and 73 % were adopting hybrid cloud models. In addition, 61 % of large companies used multi -semantic security tools. The report also found that 81 % said that security was a higher cloud challenge, behind the spending management only on the cloud.
Tight integration
The partnership between Check Point and WIZ aims to give organizations a more complete protective offer. The coalition includes the integration of control power control items through the Wiz CNAP risk platform to enhance the ability to determine risk priorities and prevent attacks automatically. Add, the risk analysis of Wiz will merge directly into the Check Point platform to provide recommendations to improve security and training coverage, although institutions will also get network safety data to determine and deal with unprecedented assets and recommendations designed to improve operational efficiency in mixed cloud environments. “The pioneering solution in the industry, while continuing to give the democratic character to cloud security,” said Assaf Rapaport.
Standardization of tools is the thing
The partnership deals with the increasing frustration between the institutions that must deal with countless safety tools that are managed individually and do not talk to each other, according to Jack Gold, the main analyst of J. Gold Associats. “The main network sellers and cloud security such as Palo Alto, Cisco and Hpe (and Dell are in this unified direction, so smaller companies are forced to cooperate or make explicit acquisitions. He said that the days of focus are uniquely on one side From the aspects of security, it fades quickly. “This trend also affects. “This also means that they will need to know the most complete capabilities, and they may need to resell or sell their customers.”
He will tell time
He said it seems that the Check Point-Wiz alliance is logical, noting the concentration of network operations in Check Point and the experience of the cloud application in Wiz. Merging data from both institutions will give tools to better analyze and discover risk. The fact that both are based on Israel should facilitate work together. He said, it will not be easy, according to Enderle. Both companies are cloud services and supply, but in such alliances, it is usually better to start with a cloud supply with a operating solution such as safety to ensure that a safety solution does not create problems due to incompatibility with any safety tools owned by the cloud provider that has been implemented. “It is possible that each of these two companies is working well in the cloud alone, but it may be a greater question together because the solutions from the two companies have not been developed together, and there will be contradictions and inconsistencies between the offers that the partnership will now need to be addressed.” “The partnerships of peers like this tend to be difficult to manage due to sales conflicts and potential services between companies, so this is a solution that you will want to verify before buying and implementing it.”
