Check Point Enhances Endpoint Security

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Check Point Software Technologies, a provider focusing on securing the
Internet, announced it has began shipping a new version of Check Point
Endpoint Security, which the company stated is 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 simplified. A
single tray icon on the endpoint device makes reviewing security status
and settings easier and eliminates interoperability conflicts.
Consequently, Check Point said its 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."
