B: Check Point Software Breaks New Ground With Subscriber VPN/Security
Solutions for Service Providers Partners with Leading Platform Vendors to
Deliver Multi-Gigabit, Multi-Customer Solutions with Multiple Security Systems
in a Single Hardware Platform
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jun 5, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Check Point Software
Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet,
today announced new Subscriber VPN/security solutions, making Check Point the
only company in the industry to provide managed security solutions to telcos and
ISPs for all deployment scenarios.
The new solution empowers multiple Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1(R) gateways to
run at multi-gigabit speeds within a single hardware platform for significantly
lower operating costs. Initially, Check Point is partnering with three
best-of-breed platform vendors to deliver "Secured by Check Point" solutions
that integrate its security for high performance subscriber deployments: CoSine
Communications (Nasdaq:COSN), Crossbeam Systems and Cubix Corporation (please
see corresponding press releases from some of these companies).
Subscriber VPN/security provides multiple security deployments for many
"subscribers" -- companies receiving Internet security as a managed service.
"Secured by Check Point" Subscriber VPN/security systems will provide up to
hundreds of VPN-1/FireWall-1 gateways on a single hardware platform.
The service provider manages and monitors this security deployment from its
Network Operation Center (NOC) using Check Point's powerful Provider-1(R)
management architecture. Service providers can further standardize on Check
Point's SVN architecture and deliver both customer premise equipment-based (CPE)
and subscriber (POP or data center-based) VPN/security managed services. The
Subscriber VPN/security delivery model enables service providers to offer a
range of cost-effective managed security solutions to their customers.
"Service Providers are seeking ways to cost-effectively deploy subscriber-based
managed security services," said Joel Conover, Senior Analyst at Current
Analysis. "By leveraging Check Point's industry-leading SVN architecture,
service providers will be able to reach profitability and better service their
customers."
The following companies will deliver Check Point Subscriber VPN/security via
certified "Secured by Check Point" platforms:
-- CoSine -- as an established industry leader, CoSine will
deliver the gigabit-speed, routing, switching, multi-customer
IPSX(TM) Service Processing Switch integrating Check Point
Subscriber VPN/security from within the edge of the service
provider's network.
-- Crossbeam -- as an innovative start-up, Crossbeam will deliver
Check Point Subscriber VPN/security on a new class of open,
highly scalable equipment at optical speeds.
-- Cubix -- as a vertically integrated manufacturer, Cubix will
integrate Check Point's Subscriber VPN/security into their
very high-speed, fault-tolerant solution hosting multiple
customers on a single platform.
"Check Point's SVN architecture today provides the foundation for managed
VPN/security services from leading service providers around the globe," said
Asheem Chandna, vice president of business development and product management
for Check Point Software Technologies. "Our new subscriber VPN/security
offerings extend the SVN architecture to uniquely enable service providers to
deliver managed security services via both CPE-based and subscriber VPN/security
deployments within an advanced, comprehensive architecture and a single
management framework."
