Stockholm – Säkerhetsföretaget Check Point ® Software Technologies har lanserat en serie med sju nya security appliances som levererar ungefär tre gånger högre prestanda än sina föregångare och är optimerade för företagets prisbelönta Software Blade Architecture. Tillsammans med 21400 Appliance täcker de nya modellerna in alla typer av säkerhetsbehov hos företag i alla olika storlekar och förser dem med en kraftfull plattform att bygga sin säkerhetsinfrasstruktur på.

Bland medlemmarna i den nya familjen security appliances finns en modell som passar alla typer av behov. Från ingångsmodellen 2200 Appliance som är avsedd för mindre kontor, upp till det nyligen lanserade kraftpaketet 21400 Appliance, som med branschens högsta prestanda är avsedd för stora företag och data centers. Prestandamässigt erbjuder serien blixtsnabba brandväggar med en genomströmning på upp till 100 Gbps och upp till 2 900 SecurityPower units (SPUs), vilket är Check Points nya skala och verktyg för att mäta säkerhetsprestanda.

– Företag i alla branscher måste hantera ett ständigt ökande antal komplicerade hot vilket har skapat ett behov av allt kraftfullare säkerhetslösningar för att kunna kontrollera tillgången till organisationens nätverk, förhindra dataförluster och skydda mot webbaserade hot. Med vår nya serie security appliances kan vi erbjuda våra kunder möjligheten att ta sitt integrerade skydd till nästa nivå, säger Lars Berggren, Försäljningschef på Check Point.

Genom att befästa säkerheten i en enda integrerad lösning kan organisationer av alla storlekar skapa en flexibel lösning som gör det möjligt att anpassa hela säkerhetsinfrastrukturen efter exakt den skyddsnivå och prestanda de behöver för att hantera just sina säkerhetsbehov. Det skapar även förutsättningar för att enkelt anpassa och utveckla säkerhetsnivån allteftersom organisationen växer och utvecklas.

Alla nya modeller finns tillgängliga nu och inkluderar Check Point Mobile Access Software Blade för en säker anslutning av tablets, bärbara datorer och andra mobila enheter (stöd för upp till fem enheter ingår).
