The endeavour is one that is both exciting and promising to India as a nation, helping the community in a number of ways. Since this transformation will change most physical transactions to digital processes, adoption of IT will embrace the whole community and individuals with different computing intellect. In such a situation, areas such as security and privacy in cyberspace will come to the forefront as key challenges. By virtue of leading-edge technology innovation in the form of Software Blades, we offer our customers expertise in handling the expanding scope of attacks launched.

We believe in the power of collaboration at every step of our journey and ensure this is done with different stakeholders in different ways. We believe this is critical in order to meet a target. It has been our constant endeavour to work very closely with them and their environments, monitoring the networks of 900 organizations, analyzing over 100 million events from about 1,000 security gateways, and 1,20,000 hours of data, thus keeping alive the power of partnership constantly.

In a country like ours, digitization is not an easy task. While policy-makers at the Centre should lay down the right objectives and build a favourable environment, it is vital that the potential of high-end IT-enabled platforms be leveraged in a carefully planned way to make a Digital India and up-to-the-minute governance a reality. Proper infrastructure, budgets, education and integration among other areas is fundamental. In a country that has 30 official languages, it is vital to ensure people get seamless access to services while making sure systems do not fall to malicious intentions. For this, we need continuous cyber intelligence. In this space, Check Point has carried out significant deployments in the form of SensorNet, Threat Cloud and now IntelliCloud.
