CHECK POINT SHIPS FIRST SINGLE AGENT FOR ENDPOINT SECURITY
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide
leader in securing the Internet, today announced it has began shipping
a new version of Check Point Endpoint Security™, the first single agent
for endpoint security to combine the highest-rated firewall, network
access control (NAC), program control, remote access, antivirus,
anti-spyware, full disk encryption and media encryption with port
protection. The new release, Check Point Endpoint Security R70,
features a newly enhanced and streamlined interface as well as
additional tools for enterprise deployment.
By creating a single endpoint security agent with a single client
interface, deploying and managing endpoint security is dramatically
simplified. A single tray icon on the endpoint device makes reviewing
security status and settings easier and eliminates interoperability
conflicts. Consequently, Check Point Endpoint Security’s single agent
and client interface reduces the time and costs associated with
endpoint security.
“Rather than having to deploy and manage multiple solutions to mitigate
each type of endpoint risk, Check Point Endpoint Security provides
customers a single easy-to-manage endpoint security solution,” said Dr.
Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point. “By combining
endpoint security into one comprehensive solution, Check Point eases
the burden placed on security administrators.”
“Security administrators are always dealing with the challenge of
having to increase network security levels in more efficient, cost
effective ways,” said Joe Luciano, chief executive officer at AccessIT.
“Check Point Endpoint Security solves the dilemma, by giving
enterprises a solution that combines all the endpoint security they
need in one solution that can be managed centrally through one console.”
Check Point Endpoint Security R70 features and benefits include:
· Single agent with combined firewall, NAC, program control, remote
access, antivirus, anti-spyware, full disk encryption and media
encryption with port protection provides superior security and
eliminates the need to deploy and manage multiple agents, reducing
total cost of ownership.
· Single client interface for all local endpoint security
administration assures compatibility of endpoint security technologies
and simplifies end-user experience
· Unique distribution utility lets administrators deploy customized installations quickly and easily
