Business Wire
Check Point(R) Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that the
City of Montreal, the largest city in the Canadian province of
Quebec, will use Check Point's intelligent perimeter security
solutions to secure remote voter registration locations for its
next major government election in November 2005. "The City of
Montreal has relied on Check Point to secure its IT infrastructure
for many years, but recently learned just how adaptable their
security technology can be when we faced a special election in
2004," said Normand Jette, telecommunications specialist for the
City of Montreal. "We needed to register voters quickly,
effectively and securely. Security was paramount. Check Point's
easy to use, reliable security was the perfect fit for setting up
secure remote voter registration sites not only for that special
election circumstance, but for future elections as well." For its
upcoming mayoral election, the City of Montreal will employ Check
Point's market-leading perimeter security solutions across 30
registration centers located within shopping malls and other public
venues in the city. To provide secure connectivity and reliable
security, the City of Montreal will use VPN-1(R) Pro at the gateway
and VPN-1 Edge(TM) for their remote voter registration sites. By
leveraging these technologies for the 2005 election, the City of
Montreal will benefit from the flexibility the Internet offers
without sacrificing the security of the city's network. "Citizens
who perform their civic duty by registering to vote expect that
their personal information will be kept private once entered into
government databanks," said Carol Stone, vice president of
worldwide marketing for Check Point Software Technologies. "Through
our unified security architecture, The City of Montreal quickly
realized that they could easily adapt their existing Check Point
infrastructure to capitalize on this progressive way of registering
their voters. With Check Point solutions in place, voter
information will remain secured, and the City of Montreal will
experience smooth Internet communications without any disruptions."
The City of Montreal is a long-standing Check Point customer and
has widely deployed Check Point's intelligent perimeter and
endpoint security solutions throughout its network to protect its
government operations which support a network of 25,000 users.
