Check Point Unified Event Management Software Blade Turns Security Information Into Action

Marketwired
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced the
SmartEvent Software Blade, a new unified security management
solution for real-time event visibility across multiple security
systems including Firewall, Intrusion Prevention (IPS), Data Loss
Prevention (DLP) and endpoints. SmartEvent filters the mass of
daily threat logs and events, highlights critical events as they
occur and gives security administrators the ability to stop attacks
straight from the management interface.
"Security administrators can only act as quickly and effectively
as they can assess relevant data," said Oded Gonda, vice president
of network security at Check Point. "With SmartEvent,
administrators can view security incidents from a high-level
business view to forensic details in just three clicks of a mouse
for fast-acting threat response."
SmartEvent correlates events from the different security
solutions (Firewall, IPS, DLP, endpoint, Antivirus, etc.),
presenting them in a consolidated view that highlights critical
security incidents. Events are consolidated and displayed in a
clear and concise format -- based on severity and frequency using
visual timelines, also known as "the doughnut timeline view." In
addition, the SmartEvent interface allows administrators to add
protections on-the-fly to remediate attacks quickly, such as
implementing policy changes or blocking traffic from certain
sources.
"As a municipal utility provider of electricity, natural gas,
water, and wastewater, we have federally mandated compliance
requirements we must follow," said Tom Fowler, information security
specialist at Colorado Springs Utilities. "Check Point SmartEvent
provides new levels of visibility we never had before. It has
enabled us to get to the root of security issues, remediate threats
fasters and meet our compliance requirements with ease."
Through Check Point's Software Blade architecture, customers can
easily deploy the SmartEvent Software Blade into their existing
security management, dramatically reducing deployment time and
costs. In addition, SmartEvent is also available on dedicated
Smart-1 SmartEvent appliances, turnkey, all-in-one management
solutions designed to provide comprehensive security event analysis
for mid-size and large enterprise security networks.
Features and benefits of Check Point SmartEvent Software Blade
include:
- Real-time event information and trends using timelines, charts
or maps give businesses a holistic view of security events
- One unified event interface monitors security events for Check
Point software blades and third party systems, delivering improved
administration efficiency and compliance reporting
- Actionable threat management that allows businesses to stop
attacks right from the management screen for immediate threat
response

environments," concluded Gonda.
