Check Point� Software Technologies Ltd.(Nasdaq:CHKP), the worldwide
leader in securing the Internet, today announced that Michael Page
International is using Check Point�s Full Disk Encryption and Media
Encryption products to secure confidential data on its laptops, PCs
and removable devices against theft, data leakage and inadvertent
loss. As a world leading professional recruitment consultancy,
Michael Page International wanted to secure confidential data on
both office-based PCs and the laptops used by senior management and
IT staff. �Confidentiality is absolutely essential in our business
� our clients and applicants depend on it. As part of an ongoing
drive to improve security, we identified an opportunity to enhance
our data security provision still further through an��endpoint
security� solution. With around 300 PCs in 65 offices across the
UK, we needed a solution that was easy to deploy and control across
a distributed network,� said Graham Taylor, Head of IT security for
Michael Page. Following an evaluation of possible solutions, Check
Point Media Encryption was chosen for its full control over USB
ports, devices and media drives, its centralized management, and
ability to provide complete audits of device usage. Graham Taylor
reports that both roll-out and ongoing management have been
seamless and easy. The company also wanted to secure the fleet of
around 50 laptops used by directors, senior management and IT
personnel against the risks of loss or theft. Graham Taylor�s team
chose Check Point Full Disk Encryption. �Full disk encryption means
the user doesn�t have to make any decisions about what data needs
protecting � unlike file-based encryption solutions. With the Check
Point product, the security is always on and data encrypted on the
fly, keeping confidential records safe and removing the
responsibility from users. What�s more, users report little or no
difference in computer performance,� added Taylor. �Both Check
Point products have been �fit and forget� after initial set-up. We
now have complete control over these endpoints, and any changes we
need to make, such as giving a member of staff permission to use a
USB device, are quickly done.� Following the successful deployment
in the UK, Michael Page is evaluating rolling out the Check Point
products to its Asia-Pacific operations. Replacing the security
products currently in use, with the Check Point solutions will help
us achieve a standardised approach to data security across all
regions. Juliette Sultan, head of Global Marketing for Check Point
said: �As data loss incidents increase, Check Point encryption
products give businesses complete, automated, industry-proven
solutions that deploy quickly and easily to protect all sensitive
data.� Check Point�s Media Encryption prevents unauthorized copying
of sensitive data by combining port and device management, content
filtering and centralized auditing with robust media encryption.
This plugs potential leakage points and logs data movement to and
from any plug and play devices, providing comprehensive control of
security policies. Check Point Full Disk Encryption provides
automatic real-time encryption of a PC�s entire hard drive that can
be configured to meet any organization�s needs. Pre-boot
authentication increases security by requiring username and
password before the operating system loads. Check Point data
security products support more end-user platforms than any other
solutions in the industry, from Windows, Linux and Mac OS based
laptops to Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm and PocketPC based
smartphones and PDAs. Today, regardless of operating system,
customers receive encryption technology from Check Point that is
recognized as a data security leader in the latest Gartner Mobile
Data Protection Magic Quadrant. To learn more about Check Point
