New Smart-1 Appliances Significantly Boost Performance for
Centrally Managed Check Point Security Gateways
SAN CARLOS, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2014) - Check Point®
Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in
securing the Internet, today announced the upgrading of its entire
line of the Smart-1 security management appliance family. These
five appliances allow for policy management, log and threat
analysis, as well as central management of Check Point security
gateways. In conjunction with the newly-released Next-Generation
SmartEvent, the Smart-1 Appliance family offers consolidated
security management and monitoring.
The new Smart-1 Appliances allow for three times more effective
storage capacity, enabling years of forensic investigation. They
can also store up to 100GB of logs per day and can index up to
44,000 logs per second. Additionally, report generation is greatly
accelerated through Smart-1 hardware optimization. A Threat
Prevention view based on weekly log data can now be generated in
ten seconds or less.
The increasing complexity of the enterprise network requires
more security management power and more speed. The number of
threats continues to escalate, along with tremendous growth in the
number of devices and applications that the network must support.
In turn, the growth in data collected and monitored for threat
visibility results in a much larger security management workload.
However, security resources remain constrained, so organizations
need solutions to streamline their security management efficiently
and effectively. The updated Smart-1 line was developed with an eye
towards providing more management power to process data and index
logs in seconds.
"Check Point's new Smart-1 Appliance family focuses on providing
the fastest and most consolidated security management available
today," said Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point
Software Technologies. "The new Smart-1 line offers our customers
one-stop security management and monitoring through a scalable
platform perfect for business-critical networks."
The five new Smart-1 security management appliances are: the
Smart-1 3150, the Smart-1 3050, the Smart-1 225, the Smart-1 210
and the Smart-1 205. Key features of this appliance family
include:
Consolidated Security Management Solution: Security, event and
log management are unified in the Smart-1 Appliances. Compliance
has been fully-integrated to offer comprehensive management and
deliver real-time compliance monitoring across Check Point's
software blades.
Multi-Domain Management: The Smart-1 Appliances include greater
policy segregation, supporting up to 200 independent security
domains.
Optimization of Event Management and Threat Analysis: Offering
consolidated and high-performance security management, the Smart-1
Appliance family optimizes the performance of Next-Generation
SmartEvent and SmartLog -- logs are collected and stored with up to
44,000 logs per second indexed for immediate search results. As
reports can be generated within a matter of seconds, administrators
and key stakeholders are immediately informed of relevant security
activity and risks.
Reliable Platform with Advanced Management and Integrated
Redundancy: As an enterprise-grade, scalable platform, the Smart-1
Appliances are built to handle business-critical networks with
redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, fans and hard drives.
Additionally, the Smart-1 Appliances support network connectivity
through a wide variety of networking options including built-in
1GbE, and optional 10GbE and SAN interfaces -- network connectivity
is ten times faster for log transfers.
"The Smart-1 Appliance family provides our customers with an
agile, robust, and high-capacity security management solution that
offers visibility into an organization's security posture. We are
committed to building and delivering innovative security management
solutions to meet the needs of our customers both today and in the
future," concluded Dor.
