Compare 40Cloud vs. Check Point Cloud Firewall

The 40Cloud solution transforms your public cloud into a private environment by establishing a new virtual private network atop your cloud infrastructure. This specialized network employs private and uniform IP addressing alongside encrypted communication, rendering it inaccessible from any external networks. With 40Cloud, you can specify and uphold the access permissions for your Virtual Private Cloud through various security measures, including authentication, authorization, and firewall technologies. Gateways serve as the sole access points to your cloud network, ensuring that all employees or contractors (remote users) who wish to connect to your cloud servers undergo identity verification at these Gateways. Additionally, the Gateways are responsible for enforcing your Access Control Policies, ensuring comprehensive security. Remote users establish connections to these Gateways utilizing standard IPsec VPN technology, which adds an extra layer of protection. Typically, a single Gateway is deployed per data center or isolated cloud network, which is defined as a private IP subnet utilizing a layer 2 separation method such as VLAN. This setup enhances both security and manageability of your cloud resources.
