BURLINGTON, Mass. and
SAN CARLOS, Calif., Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Acronis®, a
global leader in data protection, and Check Point® Software
Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the largest pure-play security
vendor globally, today announced a partnership to eliminate mobile
threats for companies by providing integrated data security and
protection for mobile workers. Through a new joint solution that
combines Check Point Capsule – a mobile security solution – with
Acronis Access Advanced – a secure file sync & share solution –
companies can enable mobile workers to safely share content and
collaborate on any device from any location, while protecting them
from data loss, device theft and malware by extending the corporate
security policy to mobile devices.
Protecting Mobile Devices with Advanced Data Safety, Security
and Privacy
Acronis is focused on providing companies with
complete data protection through an integrated set of solutions,
including backup, disaster recovery and file sync & share.
Acronis believes that complete data protection not only requires
the most advanced data safety, but also data security to protect
companies from outside threats, and data privacy to ensure that
they stay in control of their data at all times – in transit, on
mobile devices and in the cloud. To achieve this, Acronis leverages
a highly flexible and open architecture that supports easy
integration with leading 3rd party solutions, the latest
global encryption standards including AES256, and private and
secure search.
Check Point protects companies from cyberattacks by leveraging a
complete security architecture that defends against threats to an
enterprise's network and out to mobile devices. Check Point Capsule
provides seamless security to protect business data, establish a
secure business environment on mobile devices, and secure business
documents, devices, and networks.
By pairing Acronis Access Advanced with Check Point Capsule
remote users are granted secure access to all corporate content on
mobile devices with shared file repositories transparently
synchronized, ensuring that users are able to seamlessly extend
their work spaces to their devices while remaining secure at all
times. The seamless integration of Acronis Access Advanced with
Check Point Capsule Docs ensures that all documents are encrypted
and accessible only to authorized personnel. Enterprises also have
a full audit trail of who accesses what document and when.
Leveraging the strong global presence of both companies,
including the Check Point R&D center in Israel and the new Acronis R&D in
Singapore that focuses on
security, Acronis and Check Point are able to support the most
advanced security standards available today and are well positioned
to meet the unique security needs of companies worldwide.
"In today's evolving threat landscape, it's critical to turn
technology, and security, into an enabler for business growth,"
said Alon Kantor, vice president,
business development at Check Point Software Technologies. "Through
this partnership with Acronis, we're able to deliver strong
solutions that will allow organizations to secure their mobile
workforce and continue business as usual, with the confidence that
their data will remain in their own hands."
"As companies and employees around the world continue to embrace
mobile working and mobile devices, valuable company data is more
vulnerable than ever before," said Dvir
Ben-Aroya, vice president, business development at Acronis.
"We believe in providing complete data protection that extends
across data safety, security and privacy, and partnering with
leaders like Check Point brings the added protection of
industry-leading security to our solutions."
