First
Solution to Enable Simple VPN/Security Deployment and Management
for Up to One Thousand Franchise Locations
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 10, 2002 - Check Point Software
Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing
the Internet, today introduced SmartLSM (Large Scale Manager),
the industry's first solution that enables enterprises to easily
scale, deploy and manage VPN's and security for up to one thousand
franchise locations. SmartLSM extends Check Point's industry-leading
SMART Management architecture, enabling simple, scalable management
for very large distributed networks and dramatically reducing
total cost of ownership.
Check Point's
SmartLSM uses a unique profile-based approach, enabling a single
security policy to be defined and associated with thousands
of distributed VPN and firewall gateways. When the VPN/security
policy needs updating, the security manager simply adjusts the
profile and each dynamically addressed IP (DAIP) gateway automatically
"fetches" the updated policy from the management server. This
revolutionary approach to securing very large distributed networks
eliminates the need to interact with hundreds of gateways one
at a time, resulting in a dramatic increase in efficiency and
cost savings. Additionally, configuring one profile versus a
thousand gateways individually greatly reduces the chance for
human error and ensures consistent end-to-end security.
"Large enterprises
are challenged with maintaining a consistent high-level of security
across hundreds of remote sites, which is time consuming and
very labor intensive" said Carol Stone, vice president of marketing,
Check Point Software Technologies. "Check Point's SmartLSM introduces
a whole new way to manage security for large distributed networks,
making what was previously complex and cumbersome, simple, scalable
and efficient."
Smart LSM
enables enterprises to drastically reduce their overall total
cost of ownership with the following:
- Quick
and easy template-based "profiles"
- Leverages
existing SMART Management infrastructure
- Automated
policy fetch architecture
Availability
SmartLSM is available as a part of Check Point SmartCenter®
Pro, Check Point's enterprise-class management solution that also
includes SmartMap, SmartUpdate, Account Management Module and full
redundancy for policy management. For more information, please visit

resulting in the industry's easiest and most efficient large-scale
security protection and unparalleled ease of deployment and
management.
