Intelligent
Route Control Company Integrates with Industry's
Most Recognized Security Framework for Protection
SAN
JOSE, Calif. -- April 25, 2002 - netVmg, the emerging leader
in the intelligent route control category, today announced at
the Check Point Experience it has achieved OPSEC® (Open
Platform for Security) certification for its flagship product
the Flow Control Platform (FCP), from Check Point™ Software
Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing
the Internet. The combination of Check Point's leading FireWall-
1®/ VPN-1® and netVmg's end-to-end routing optimization
creates a compelling reason for businesses to migrate their
applications away from legacy networking technologies and onto
Internet-based VPNs.
"As
the leader in route control, we are pleased to be a member of
the industry's premier open, multi-vendor security framework,"
stated Ed English, vice president of corporate development at
netVmg. "The combination of Check Point's industry leading security
and VPN management functionality with netVmg's proven performance
and cost optimized routing provides the complete answer for
enterprise's seeking to deploy or grow their VPN solutions.
Now companies who trust Check Point to secure their mission
critical traffic can take advantage of netVmg's route control
technologies."
netVmg's
FCP gives companies very fine grained control over Internet
routing so they can achieve business objectives such as cost
reduction and application performance improvement. OPSEC certification
gives customers a new architectural deployment option and, more
importantly, provides the foundation for customers seeking to
use intelligent route control in the context of Internet based
VPNs. Through OPSEC certification, the netVmg FCP pulls IP source
and destination information from the VPN-1/FireWall-1 Management
Server. This information is used, in a multi-homed ISP environment,
to determine the best Internet route over which to send the
VPN-1 traffic.
"We
are pleased that netVmg has achieved OPSEC certification for
their FCP intelligent route control product," said Upesh Patel,
OPSEC Alliance manager. "Certification assures interoperability
between netVmg's FCP and Check Point's VPN-1/FireWall-1. Now
customers have a solution that allows them to instantaneously
choose the most efficient Internet route to send their VPN traffic
over thus enhancing the overall performance of their VPN."
Flow
Control Platform (FCP) will be shown at the Check Point Experience,
the annual customer and partner conference currently being held
in Anaheim, California May 23-26.
