Case Study: Grand Canyon Education achieves continuous cloud visibility and prioritized vulnerability remediation with Check Point Software's CloudGuard

Grand Canyon Education’s Winning Cloud Security Curriculum Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring and Remediation

Grand Canyon Education (GCE), a Phoenix-based shared services partner supporting colleges and universities with about 4,700 employees, struggled to monitor and secure a rapidly growing cloud environment. Periodic external assessments provided only point-in-time snapshots, leaving the team with limited visibility, poor prioritization of vulnerabilities and difficulty remediating issues; they needed continuous, scalable cloud and code security that was straightforward to deploy and integrate into development workflows.

GCE implemented Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP—combining CloudGuard Posture Management (CSPM) and CloudGuard Code Security—to gain continuous discovery, automated compliance, customizable policies, auto-remediation and code scanning across the R&D toolchain. The solution delivered a single-pane view of risks, faster prioritization and remediation, reduced reliance on external consultants, improved cross-team collaboration and a measurable improvement in cloud and application security, giving the organization greater efficiency and confidence.
