It was adopted in response to the events of SolarWinds, where API credentials were leaked into Git repositories or other developer tools. We, at the time, had no detective or preventive controls to prevent this sort of disclosure, so CloudGuard Spectral was implemented into the pipelines themselves to detect secrets being disclosed.
Our primary use case involves protecting our internal services hosted within our data center's cloud environment, which includes virtual machines housing critical company resources. Additionally, we safeguard external services used by our customers with Check Point security measures.
We have so many applications where the code needs to be verified before it can be transferred to production. This scans the code and all the configurations to detect issues.
We were looking for a solution that could perform analysis on variables that we currently have to achieve real-time analysis of response from the organization and the measures that we must mitigate based on our organizational structure. Additionally, we needed a simplification of compliance with internal regulations based on international regulations and standards to allow us to maintain a standard of security in the industry. Our niche market requires a solution that automatically identifies security risks, compliance problems, or bad configurations.

We have tried to find and solve problems when developing applications, encouraging each one of our developers to comply with security standards worldwide based on the best practices published so that each one promotes and exposes a robust line of security. Based on this need to achieve the best security guidelines and try to make the development exponents easy, fast, and scalable, we sought solutions for the company.

Two years ago, the company began migrating to the Azure cloud, taking with it almost 80% of the servers of their respective applications. Due to this, we then thought of making a well-defined strategy to strengthen the security of the company's infrastructure. We needed a strong pillar to maintain robust and secure security against any cyber attack. We began to adopt security tools that provided us with support in the cloud. In addition to that, they are multi-cloud. If we decide to make any change in the future, we can. All the applications that we use and have access to the outside need good filtering and security and Spectral meets the current requirements we have.
There is a great improvement in the security of the organization. Our assets and infrastructure are enhanced by Check Point CloudGuard Spectral. It shields the organization against exposed API keys and confidential credentials against ransomware attacks. It uncovers hidden hiccups in the coding system that can affect our workflow and production ecosystem. Uncovering security blindspots has enabled sectors across the enterprise to plan and set security measures that cannot be compromised easily. This product scans the application configurations to enhance compliance.
In recent years, in search of a new strategy, we have tried to strengthen our security and infrastructure posture. It's one of the fundamental pillars of a large organization. As a result of this situation, we have begun to adapt by using solutions that support us on cloud and on-premise. We have found the solution offers a healthy, strong infrastructure and, above all, is aligned with the legal and regulatory frameworks at an international level.
Currently, our company implements several sites and applications developed in Microsoft Azure. However, in the past, we had some vulnerabilities in identities that were used within the development, which allowed us to understand that we needed help to implement the best security practices for others to protect all the development against attackers that could harm us. The tool has helped us improve and implement improvements for our security.

In our company, we use Microsoft Azure, where we carry out developments and applications. Previously, we did not have how to test that they were created with the best security practices in addition to being covered or provided against vulnerabilities that could be the target of cyber attackers. For this reason, we began with the investigation of a tool that could validate how these tools were made up, for which we found Spectral Check Point. We began to use it to generate greater security for the company and the perimeter.
Check Point CloudGuard Code Security enhances application and site security in Microsoft Azure, detecting vulnerabilities, preventing breaches, and safeguarding against malicious activities while ensuring compliance and improving code quality.
Check Point CloudGuard Code Security, designed for cloud and on-premise environments, scans applications configurations, detects exposed credentials, and aligns with legal frameworks. It offers simple implementation, centralized management,...
