Check Point Delivers Unparalleled Cyber Threat Visibility in the
Era of Big Data
Next-Generation SmartEvent Exposes Security Risks from Billions
of Logs in Just Seconds
SAN CARLOS, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2014) - Check Point®
Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in
securing the Internet, today announced the availability of
Next-Generation SmartEvent, a new and powerful event monitoring
solution for real-time processing and storing of threat detection
data. Next-Generation SmartEvent offers one single view for all
security threats and network components, to more easily manage and
analyze big data security, and to make faster and more informed
security decisions.
Security incident and event management continues to grow in
complexity. With the influx of device connectivity and content --
mobile devices, endpoints, and gateways comprising organizations'
networks -- the ever-increasing volume of data and growing security
incidents results in more events to be processed and continuous
monitoring requirements. This creates the need for highly
customizable analytic tools for monitoring, quickly searching and
reporting on an organizations' IT security environment.
"To stay one step ahead of security threats, organizations need
powerful event monitoring solutions that are simple to use, provide
robust security analytics to rapidly identify and investigate
threats, and enable policy modifications based on these threats,"
said Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point Software
Technologies. "Next-Generation Smart Event provides simple yet
powerful and comprehensive event monitoring capabilities including
highly-customizable views, blazing-fast search and report results
for events and real threats that reside in the data."
Key features of the Next-Generation SmartEvent include:
Effective Threat Analysis and Customized Visibility: Utilizing
customizable views to display only information relevant to your
organization, security administrators can easily understand
security status and trends at a glance. Using one-click detailed
views and free-text search, administrators can quickly investigate
security incidents and can easily correlate multiple logs in order
to identify suspicious activity from the clutter. Organizations can
also create rich and personalized reports for necessary
stakeholders in security decision making, including security
professionals, network engineers and C-level management.
Big Data Threat Detection in Seconds: Next-Generation SmartEvent
analyzes and searches logs with unprecedented speed and scale.
Billions of logs can be analyzed per day, and over a hundred
million logs can be searched in a matter of seconds. This speed and
scale facilitates forensic investigation and regulatory compliance
with easy access to terabytes of historical logs.
"Everywhere Monitoring" for all Security Threats:
Next-Generation SmartEvent brings real-time event visibility across
multiple security systems including: Firewall, IPS, Anti-Virus,
Anti-Bot, Threat Emulation, URL Filtering and Application Control.
The SmartEvent web portal allows administrators to be on top of
their security posture and monitor all security threats, anywhere
and anytime, using mobile phones and tablet devices.
"While security incidents continue to grow in frequency and
sophistication, 'everywhere monitoring' is critical to ensure
security continuity. Next-Generation SmartEvent brings awareness
and control of security threats and network components through a
consolidated and customizable view in a matter of seconds,"
concluded Dor.
