August 10 2010 - 9:00PM
Marketwired
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced a new
security gateway, the Check Point Series 80 Appliance, designed for
remote and branch offices and delivering 1.5 gigabit performance
for under $2,500. The new Series 80 Appliance is based on the Check
Point Software Blade Architecture and provides the same security
and flexibility enjoyed by larger offices and enterprises.
The Series 80 includes several software blades including
firewall, IPS, VPN, anti-virus and anti-malware, URL filtering,
anti-spam and email security software. The new appliance delivers
the best price/performance in its class with less than $1.6/Mbps
for firewall and $5.6/Mbps for IPS. In addition, it offers the
highest port density with 10 GbE ports to manage the entire branch
network in one appliance and come in a small desktop form factor
ideal for remote branch offices. The Series 80 is based on Check
Point security technologies that today secure 100 percent of the
Fortune 100.
"Enterprises are demanding more protection, faster performance
and increased simplicity to protect their entire network from data
centers to the smallest branch offices," said Dorit Dor, vice
president of products at Check Point Software Technologies. "Today
we are bringing to market an ideal solution for these smaller
offices. Our new Series 80 is stronger in security, faster in
performance but smaller in size and price and provides companies
greater security at the ends of their network, the branch
offices."
The Series 80 can be activated in one single click by corporate
IT and then deployed locally within minutes without additional
corporate support. Security administrators can define policies for
branch offices from a single, centrally located Check Point
Security Management console. These policies, along with other
security profiles, can be automatically applied to remote office
gateways to simplify deployment, reduce IT overhead and maintain
strong security consistency.
"Check Point's Series 80 Appliance has helped us create a
holistic approach to security. We can set security expectations at
a high level and ensure consistent protection across all of our
customers' remote office environments," says Craig Deveau, senior
product manager, managed security services at Allstream. "In
addition, with the Series 80 high port-density, we can minimize the
overhead of switches and routers at the branches and maintain
consistent security standards without a dedicated IT employee."

addresses both needs while enhancing overall security," concluded
Dor.
