SAN FRANCISCO – Check Point, which claims to be the largest pure-play security vendor globally, has inked a deal with VMware that will see the two collaborate on advanced security systems for the software-defined datacentre.Check Point says its vSEC virtual network security now

integrates with the VMware NSX network virtualisation platform to enable

customers to consistently manage and enforce security for all datacentre

traffic.

Customers can accelerate security service deployment and get the same level of

security for traffic inside their datacentres as Check Point provides at the

perimeter gateway, the company says.
