Integrity 6.0 Delivers Unprecedented
Scalability, Dramatically Lower Administrative Costs, and Easily
Managed Intrusion Prevention for PCs
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., — Feb. 7,
2005 — Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:
CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today unveiled
Integrity 6.0, to forge new ground in manageability, scalability
and reliability for endpoint security. The best-in-class Integrity
client and server software secures all networked PCs by centrally
managing proactive defenses and enforcing access policy compliance.
In addition, significant advances and new management features enable
Integrity 6.0 to secure large scale deployments with the lowest
total cost of ownership. It also includes the first easily managed
host intrusion prevention for PCs.
"We designed Integrity to provide hardened endpoint security
that is easy to manage, deploy and scale. Integrity 6.0 includes
significant enhancements enabling superior security levels with
the addition of IPS capabilities, while it reduces the lowest total
cost of ownership with the introduction of high-availability and
multi-site management features," said Gonen Fink, vice president
of solutions and strategy for Check Point Software Technologies.
"Integrity 6.0 introduces a manageable IPS solution that is
easy to use and provides comprehensive endpoint security - all delivered
with the peace of mind that only comes from deploying Check Point's
trusted security solutions."
Edwards Lifesciences is a leader in treating advanced cardiovascular
disease and has 5,000 employees and global operations. Check Point
Integrity is the core foundation for Lifesciences' endpoint security
on all desktops and laptops worldwide. Mark Schaefer, Information
Security Manager for Edwards Lifesciences Corporation explains:
"Our customers are requiring more direct access to our network
and services, but at the same time we are concerned about protecting
our computing resources from the increasing threats such as worms,
spyware and more. Check Point Integrity integrates with our existing
anti-virus solutions, can be centrally managed and enables us to
enforce security requirements for both VPN connections and network
based connections."
Day Zero Protection with New SmartDefense
Program Advisor
Integrity 6.0 further improves upon Day Zero protection with the
patent pending Program Advisorä, a new SmartDefense™ Service
from Check Point. Program Advisor is an optional service that gives
administrators the ability to automate most application policy decisions
for granting or blocking network access to PC applications. The
Service is based on a dynamic knowledgebase containing more than
85,000 applications. The real-time, on-demand policy decisions provided
by Program Advisor will allow the "known and good" applications
network access while blocking emerging Day Zero threats that are
attempting to abuse the enterprise network. This hands-free service
greatly reduces administrative resources for managing application
controls and minimizes end-user involvement, resulting in fewer
help desk calls.
Integrity 6.0 allows network administrators to easily develop,
manage and enforce unparalleled security on every PC that accesses
the network and includes these new features:
- Host Intrusion Prevention
- Integrity now incorporates Check Point's unique Malicious Code
Protector™ technology to stop buffer overflow and other attacks
that exploit flaws in PC applications and operating systems. Unlike
host intrusion prevention approaches that involve very complex
and time consuming rule creation, Integrity requires little administrative
effort to defend enterprise PCs against dangerous application
layer attacks.
- New SmartDefense Program Advisor™
Service - This patent-pending service offers administrators
the ability to automate most application policy decisions before
granting or blocking network access to PC applications.
- Increased SmartCenter Integration
- Integrity log data is now automatically shared with Check Point's
SmartCenter management solutions. Administrators can view endpoint
security reports in the context of other Perimeter, Internal,
and Web security data, increasing the efficiency and value of
their forensic analyses.
- New Integrity Advanced Server -
The clustered server and load balancing architecture provides
virtually unlimited scalability with the highest level of availability
in the industry. This advanced server technology is an ideal solution
for companies with large, diverse PC communities.
- Automatic Client Deployment
- Administrators can now opt to deploy the initial and latest
versions of Integrity client software centrally without touching
any endpoints. This dramatically reduces IT resources and time
needed to conduct an initial deployment as well as to upgrade
endpoint security.
Integrity 6.0, the most recent milestone in the Check Point's Total
Access Protection (TAP) initiative, offers enterprises the most
complete endpoint security solution, including firewall, intrusion
prevention and out-bound threat protection. The ability of Integrity
to enforce access policy compliance via integration with Check Point's
VPN-1®, InterSpect™, and Connectra™ security gateways
ensures end-to-end protection for all forms of network access. The
complete Integrity product line delivers Total Access Protection
for the enterprise, ensuring that all enterprise PCs-employee and
guest, internal and remote, wired and wireless-can be protected
by the market's leading security solution.
