Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that
Clifford Chance, a leading international law firm, has deployed
Check Point R75 software blades to manage and enforce multiple
layers of protection with a single, integrated network security
solution. With over 3,200 legal advisors, offices in over 23
countries and large volumes of confidential data flowing through
the network daily, the law firm requires a robust and
multi-functional security gateway that protects against emerging
security threats, while safeguarding client data and simplifying
management.
"The Software Blade Architecture is wonderful. One of the
biggest benefits is how easily everything integrates -- eliminating
the need for separate appliances and disparate management systems.
We only need one user interface to control multiple security
protections across our entire global network," said Bill Leung,
senior security analyst at Clifford Chance. With Check Point R75,
the firm is able to take a unified approach to security by quickly
deploying the specific software blade protections which are
critical to their business, including Data Loss Prevention (DLP),
Application Control and Intrusion Prevention (IPS).
With thousands of corporate, client and case file documents
traversing the network, a core element of Clifford Chance's
security strategy is data loss prevention. "Enforcing effective
data loss prevention is essential to the firm but can be costly.
Instead of deploying a separate point product, we integrated Check
Point's DLP Software Blade into our existing gateway and were able
to reduce our hardware expenses by 50 percent," said Leung. The
Check Point DLP Software Blade also alerts and educates users when
data is at risk -- significantly reducing the number of potential
security incidents and preserving limited IT resources. "Our
employees often work on multiple cases at one time so it's
important to ensure our clients' documents remain confidential at
all times. Check Point's DLP solution preemptively protects
sensitive data before unintentional loss can occur."
The firm also found a growing need to protect their business
from a new generation of emerging threats and Web 2.0
vulnerabilities. As part of their comprehensive approach to
security, Clifford Chance deployed Check Point's IPS and
Application Control Software Blades to protect the network against
malicious and unwanted network traffic, while blocking or limiting
access to social media, personal email, cloud drives and other Web
2.0 applications that often impact network security, employee
productivity and consume large amounts of bandwidth.
With Check Point Software Blade, Clifford Chance has been able
to seamlessly integrate multiple layers of protection into one
integrated solution. "We have a lean IT security team of five
members. Being able to centrally manage multiple protections, while
enforcing consistent security policies on a global level, has given
us a huge boost in security and productivity," said Leung.
"In today's world, businesses view data and network protection
as top concerns that command the attention of senior management.
Our Software Blade Architecture enables security professionals to
handle issues such as network attacks and data breaches in a
streamlined way," said Juliette Sultan, head of global marketing at
Check Point Software Technologies. "Check Point's approach enables
Clifford Chance to manage their current and emerging security
challenges in a single, unified fashion. We couldn't be happier
with their success."
Clifford Chance worked with Dimension Data, Check Point's Global
Gold Partner, to select and architect a fully integrated and robust
network security solution tailored to fit their business needs.
Check Point R75 is based on the Software Blade Architecture™ and
can be purchased through the Check Point worldwide network of

performance levels our firm needs to keep our business running
smoothly with solutions that are easy to deploy," concluded
Leung.
