March 15, 2000-- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
(Nasdaq:CHKP - news), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today introduced Check Point SiteManager-1 System, a new solution designed specifically to enable telcos and service providers to address the high-growth market for delivering managed Internet security and VPN services to small and medium businesses.
Based on the company's Secure Virtual Network (SVN) architecture, SiteManager-1 System is designed to significantly lower a service provider's cost of overall ownership and deployment for managed VPN and firewall services.
"We see explosive growth in the small to medium business market for managed security services," said Asheem Chandna, vice president, business development and product management, Check Point Software Technologies.
"Our new SiteManager-1 System provides telcos and service providers with a cost-effective framework to secure small and medium businesses with Check Point's industry-leading technology."
SiteManager-1 System includes two new products, SiteManager-1 management software and SM-1 Appliance, combining a comprehensive, centralized management system at the provider network operations center with integrated VPN/security capabilities on the customer premises.
Check Point SiteManager-1 management software enables service providers to centrally manage the individual security policies of small and medium businesses with a single gateway per company location.
It leverages Check Point's Provider-1 technology, the industry's only security solution that enables large-scale, centralized multi-domain customer management for telcos, service providers and large enterprises.
Check Point SM-1 Appliance integrates Check Point's industry-leading VPN-1/FireWall-1 software with Nokia's
(NYSE:NOK) specially designed hardware to deliver the industry's most powerful and secure Internet connectivity
solutions.
It is based on the market-leading Check Point/Nokia VPN-1 Appliance and designed for deployment on a customer
premises for on-site security enforcement in conjunction with centralized management by the service provider.
"Check Point and Nokia have struck a chord with service providers offering managed services," commented John Carosella, vice president of marketing and business development, Nokia Internet Communications. "This new product package further leverages the Check Point/Nokia appliance experience to enable service providers to truly scale their security service offerings."
The new Check Point SiteManager-1 System brings comprehensive, cost-effective managed Internet security solutions to telcos and service providers, enabling them to effectively serve small and medium businesses that often lack on-site security expertise and the resources necessary to manage Internet security policies.
