Application-level Security
Most firewalls provide effective access control, yet many are not designed to detect and thwart attacks at the application level. Today's hackers can circumvent access control policies and are now directly targeting applications. In order to address this shift in attack methodology, firewalls must also provide comprehensive security on multiple-levels, protecting against both network and application attacks, while providing robust access control to IT resources.

Check Point's Application Intelligence offers a set of advanced capabilities providing valuable attack forensics through its rich log data and distributed logging infrastructure. Check Point Application Intelligence enables government customers to configure, enforce and update network and application attack defenses.

Centralized, Hierarchical Management
Check Point makes it easy for distributed government organizations to centrally manage security, and even to retain central control while delegating some authority to remote organizations or departments. This hierarchical management capability ensures that headquarters security staff is able to rapidly respond to emerging information security conditions and, if necessary, supersede the security policy of the locally managed locations.

Comprehensive Administrative Capabilities
Check Point's Security Management Architecture (SMART) provides security managers tools that are key for efficiently administering VPNs and security in government environments, including administrator security, management efficiency and continuity of operations.

Administrator Security
Administrator security measures include the ability to assign administrators digital certificates for authentication (using the Internal Certificate Authority or an existing CA), the ability to designate different permission levels for different administrators and an auditing mechanism that tracks all policy and configuration changes.

Management Efficiency
Integration with LDAP information-stores reduces user management burdens and automated software management capabilities streamline the process of deploying product updates, making it easier to keep security up to date.

Continuity of Operations
VPN gateways, firewall gateways and management database components can all be deployed in redundant configurations, ensuring business continuity.

Endpoint Protection and Internal Network Security
Endpoints, or devices accessing a network – whether this is by remote workers in another office, partners in another company, or even desktop PCs inside the network – need to be protected from malware, hackers, and security threats. Legitimate government personnel are more mobile than ever traveling in and out of the network with their laptops and PDA's.

Check Point Endpoint Security is the only endpoint security solution from a major security vendor to achieve Common Criteria EAL 4 certification, validating it as the most trustworthy and certified protection against threats to mission critical government networks. Check Point Endpoint Security secures and protects communications within government agencies, and is appropriate for large agencies and critical infrastructure protection monitored by agency/sector-specific Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs). Also, Endpoint Security can be administered using the same NGX management platform used with other Check Point security solutions, letting administrators develop, configure, and deploy coordinated security policies from a single console.
