Best practices for adding layered security to Azure security with Check Point’s CloudGuard IaaS

Best practices for adding layered security to azure security with Check Point's CloudGuard IaaS. The cloud is changing the way we build and deploy applications and most enterprises will benefit from the cloud's many advantages through hybrid, multi, or standalone cloud architectures. However, cloud security is often an afterthought, but it is different from traditional enterprise security. Public cloud vendors have defined a Shared Responsibility Model where the vendor is responsible for the security "of" their cloud, while their customers are responsible for the security "in" the cloud. Cloud deployments include multi-layered components, and the security requirements are often different. Check Point's CloudGuard IaaS helps protect assets in the cloud with dynamic scalability, intelligent provisioning, and consistent control across public, private, and hybrid cloud deployments. But how well does CloudGuard IaaS conform to Microsoft's best practices?
