 "Check Point Launches Software Blade Architecture To Enhance Security")
Check Point Software Technologies, a player in the Internet security space, has launched its new Software Blade Architecture in India that will enhance security by providing greater flexibility, simplicity and extensibility. Based on this new software blade architecture, Check Point has also launched Check Point R70, a new version of its security gateway and management solutions. Check Point R70 enables businesses of all sizes to tailor their network security infrastructure to meet their exact functional and performance needs with centralised management and full extensibility.
As part of R70, Check Point is also transforming the intrusion prevention (IPS) space by introducing a new IPS software blade. The new IPS software blade delivers dynamic IPS management capabilities and multi-gigabit performance. The flexibility of R70 allows customers to deploy Check Point’s new IPS technologies on any R70 gateway.
Itche Weinreb, VP-Sales, APAC, Check Point Software, said, “With this new release, customers can benefit from the flexibility of the new software blade architecture. In addition, R70’s intrusion prevention blade allows customers to deploy preemptive and accurate protections to security gateways with deep granularity and threat control.”
Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, country manager, India & SAARC, Check Point Software. “R70 offers the upward moving Indian SMBs the flexibility to create a unified security infrastructure that can be extended to fit their growing needs by simply activating software blades on their Check Point security platform.”
Modular Security
Based on Check Point’s new software blade architecture, Check Point R70 provides businesses with flexible security. The new architecture empowers businesses with the ability to select the exact security applications or “software blades” they need, such as firewall, virtual private network (VPN), IPS, anti-virus, etc from a library of over 20 software blades. New software blades can be added without deploying new hardware, reducing deployment times and operational costs.
Threat Coverage
Check Point R70’s new IPS software blade uses a multi-tier intrusion prevention engine to provide threat control and up to 10 Gbps total system performance of firewall with integrated IPS. The IPS software blade offers complete threat coverage for client, server and OS vulnerabilities and malware and worm infections.
Security Management
Check Point R70 offers customers two new security management blades for IPS event analysis and provisioning of gateways. The IPS event analysis blade provides the ability to focus on critical events and functions, allowing customers to graphically view high volumes of event data in real-time and quickly drill down from a business view of events to a forensic level of details. The new provisioning software blade provides centralised administration and activation of Check Point security devices via a single management console. The unified management architecture of Check Point R70 allows administrators to manage, set policy and apply protections across the entire security infrastructure from a single interface.
