 "Check Point Offers Security Change Mgmt Software Blade")
Check Point Software Technologies, a player in the Internet security space, has announced SmartWorkflow, a new security management software blade that provides customers the option of extending their security infrastructure with policy change management functionality. The new SmartWorkflow software blade enables an automated process of tracking, approving and auditing policy changes within the security management console, minimising configuration errors and optimising the integrity of network security. SmartWorkflow includes reporting and auditing capabilities that can help customers ensure compliance with corporate policies and regulations.
Security administrators are challenged by a constant stream of change requests. SmartWorkflow helps to ensure consistency across the company’s security policy, reducing the possibility of errors and policy mis-configuration. SmartWorkflow allows administrators to enforce a step-by-step workflow through a single management console viz. create a new session, work on the session, review session changes, submit session for approval, get approval and deploy changes. Reports can also be easily generated to show what was changed, added or removed before submission for approval, and administrators can compare and restore policies to a previous state.
SmartWorkflow is available through Check Point’s Software Blade architecture, which allows customers to select the exact security software blades they need and combine them into a single, centrally managed gateway on the hardware of their choice. With the flexibility to deploy the software blades on existing security infrastructure, the total cost overhead remains low.
Availability
Check Point’s SmartWorkflow Software Blade is available and can be purchased through Check Point’s worldwide network of value-added resellers.
