Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP): Customers
Achieve Simple, Cost-Effective Security for Remote Sites Check
Point(R) Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP), the worldwide
leader in securing the Internet, today announced that VPN-1(R)
Edge(TM), an integrated security appliance for remote offices that
is part of the VPN-1 family of perimeter products, has incorporated
the world's most advanced intrusion prevention and antivirus to
complement its firewall and VPN technologies. With intrusion
prevention and antivirus, the NGX(TM) release of VPN-1 Edge enables
corporations to ensure that branch offices have the same protection
from worms and viruses as larger offices. By delivering this
integrated security with scalable management, VPN-1 Edge makes it
simpler and more cost-effective for customers to connect and secure
thousands of remote sites with the confidence that these sites will
not become the weakest link in network security. VPN-1 Edge is now
also integrated with SmartDefense(TM) Services. By purchasing a
SmartDefense Services subscription for VPN-1 Edge appliances,
customers can receive new protections against the latest threats
and apply them to all offices remotely from a single console. This
dramatically reduces the cost of maintaining a secure distributed
environment, resulting in tighter security throughout the network.
"By incorporating intrusion prevention and antivirus into the VPN-1
Edge series of integrated security appliances, we are providing
Unified Threat Management for branch offices just as we did with
Check Point Express CI(TM) for medium businesses," said Ken
Fitzpatrick, chief marketing officer for Check Point Software
Technologies. "In addition, only Check Point's unified security
architecture delivers preemptive protection everywhere -- from the
laptop to the internal network to the perimeter to the remote
office. With these new enhancements, customers are assured of a
consistent security policy throughout the organization -- something
needed in today's regulated environment." Organizations that deploy
VPN-1 Edge with Embedded NGX technology, which incorporates Check
Point's market-leading firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention
software, also experience the following new benefits: -- Simplified
VPNs with High Reliability - Enables administrators to quickly
connect a large number of remote sites using dynamic routing and
route-based VPNs. -- Most Secure Wireless Protocol Support - First
appliance on the market to provide support for the WPA2/802.11i
wireless security standard. -- Highest Standards of Performance -
Incorporates Wireless Multimedia Quality of Service (QoS) support
to ensure that time-sensitive traffic on the wireless network, such
as Voice over IP, is transmitted with minimal delay and at expected
performance levels. Customer Success with VPN-1 Edge Check Point
customer, ISCAR, is a dynamic full line supplier of precision
carbide metal working tools, producing a wide range of carbide
inserts, carbide end mills and cutting tools covering most metal
cutting applications. ISCAR also provides metal working solutions
in both engineering and manufacturing to major industries
throughout the world. "As an enterprise company with more than 70
branch offices all over the world, we needed to find a way to
connect those offices and manage their security from a central
location because we don't have dedicated IT staff members in each
office," said Vladislav Reznik, project manager for ISCAR's IT
department. "VPN-1 Edge was the best fit for our needs because of
its robust intrusion prevention and antivirus protection
capabilities and its ability to be centrally managed. Our complex
network is protected from all of the latest security threats, and
also, our IT administrator at headquarters can implement security
policies as needed throughout the world." Pricing and Availability
VPN-1 Edge is available as both a wired and a wireless security
appliance. Pricing starts at $599, and the appliances are available
immediately. For more information on Check Point VPN-1 Edge, please
