How do you secure modern Nutanix environments without adding operational complexity?
In this episode of the Nutanix Community Podcast, Dwayne sits down with Jeff Engel from Check Point to explore real-world cloud security for Nutanix, including CloudGuard integration, Zero Trust architecture, microsegmentation, and AI security.
Jeff breaks down how Check Point CloudGuard works natively with Nutanix, how service insertion enables deep traffic inspection, and how dynamic security policies driven by Prism Central categories eliminate manual firewall changes and painful change control.
You’ll learn:
- How CloudGuard for Nutanix secures east-west and north-south traffic
- What Zero Trust actually means in production environments
- How microsegmentation improves security without breaking workflows
- How to secure AI traffic and modern workloads
- Why consistent policy, automation, and price-performance matter at scale
Whether you’re designing Nutanix network security, evaluating CloudGuard, or looking to secure AI-driven workloads, this episode delivers practical insights you can apply immediately.
