Stockholm – Säkerhetsföretaget Check Point ® Software Technologies har placerats i ledarsegmentet i Gartners ”Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management”1, som är analysföretagets grafiska beskrivning av affärsområdet för UTM. Enligt Gartner ligger de företag som positionerats i ledarsegmentet ”i framkant när det gäller tillverkning och försäljning av UTM-produkter som är utvecklade för medelstora företags behov.”

Kraven som ställs på de företag som placerats i ledarsegmentet innefattar ett brett utbud av produktmodeller för att hantera användarscenarion hos medelstora företag, stöd för flera funktioner samt en enkelt utformad hantering av styrning och rapportering som är lätt att använda.

– Vår ledarposition bekräftar vårt åtagande att erbjuda heltäckande säkerhetslösningar som passar för alla typer av företag, oberoende av deras storlek eller nätverksmiljö, säger Lars Berggren, country manager, Check Point Sverige.

Check Points UTM appliances och mjukvarublad möjliggör att företag som använder dem kan förena flera säkerhetsfunktioner i sitt nätverk på en enda gateway, vilket gör att de kan maximera nyttan av sin befintliga infrastruktur och lägga till framtida skydd som kan behövas.

CHECK POINT POSITIONED AS A LEADER IN THE 2011 MAGIC QUADRANT FOR UNIFIED THREAT MANAGEMENT

Check Point recognized for completeness of vision and ability to execute in the UTM market

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced it is positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of Gartner’s recent Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management (UTM)1.  According to Gartner research, "Unified threat management devices provide small and midsize businesses with multiple network security functions in a single appliance.”

Check Point offers simple, all-in-one security solutions that provide the utmost level of protection to small and mid-sized businesses, as well as remote and branch offices. Check Point’s comprehensive and flexible UTM-1 and Series 80 Appliance are equipped with Check Point’s Software Blade ArchitectureTM, giving customers an extensible security infrastructure that is able to grow with their business needs.  Check Point unified threat management solutions combine the same advanced security that enterprises trust, including:  Firewall, IPsec VPN, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, Anti-virus/Anti-malware, URL Filtering and Anti-spam and email security technologies, providing ease of deployment at a reasonable price. Check Point offers security protections with industry-leading performance across a wide range of appliance models.

”The wave of new, sophisticated and stealthy attack techniques is encouraging businesses to adopt a multi-layered security approach to safeguard every network entry point. Our UTM appliances and Software Blade Architecture benefit customers by unifying multiple security functions onto a single gateway, allowing them to leverage their existing infrastructure and add future protections as needed,” said Juliette Rizkallah, head of global marketing at Check Point Software Technologies. ”We believe that our position as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management affirms our commitment to providing extensible security solutions that are practical for all businesses to deploy – from small business environments to high-end enterprise data centers.”

According to Gartner, vendors in the UTM Leaders Quadrant are, ”at the forefront of making and selling UTM products that are built for midsize business requirements. The requirements necessary for leadership include a wide range of models to cover midsize business use cases, support for multiple features, and a management and reporting capability that’s designed for ease of use. Vendors in this quadrant lead the market in offering new safeguarding features, and in enabling customers to deploy them inexpensively without significantly affecting the end-user experience or increasing staffing burdens. These vendors also have a good track record of avoiding vulnerabilities in their security products. Common characteristics include reliability, consistent throughput, and a product that’s intuitive to manage and administer.”2
