announced new UTM-1 Edge N and Safe@Office N appliances delivering
gigabitfirewall
performance starting at $750. In an easy-to-deploy desktop solution
designed to meet the needs of small and medium businesses and branch
offices, the unified threat management appliances deliver
enterprise-class security, including firewall, intrusion prevention,
anti-virus, anti-spam, Web filtering and remote access connectivity.

The new UTM-1 Edge N and Safe@Office N
appliances are based on the same Check Point technologies that secure
100 percent of the Fortune 100. These appliances include tightly
integrated security and networking features, such as G style="font-style: normal;">igabit
Ethernet supporting high-performance networking
capabilities and seamless 3G and wireless connectivity supporting the
latest IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi standards.

“SMBs face the same security
challenges as larger enterprises, the threat of a data breach compels
companies to restrict access to sensitive networks and databases,
even to the point of impacting profits. With limited IT budgets and
resources, small businesses need an inexpensive, yet comprehensive
solution to provide secure access to critical resources from
anywhere, while minimizing the risk of a data breach,” said Bhaskar
Bakthavatsalu, RD-India & SAARC, Check Point Software
Technologies. “UTM-1 Edge N and Safe@Office appliances help the
SMBs enhance their security and allow faster connectivity to keep
business running smoothly. Apart from being cost-effective, it is
simple to manage and can be deployed in less than 10 minutes,” he
added.

The new Check Point appliances are
all-inclusive, turnkey solutions. UTM-1 Edge enables customers to
centrally manage thousands of remote sites from a single enterprise
console, ensuring branch offices remain just as secure as corporate
sites. With Safe@Office, customers benefit from integrated security
and connectivity features out-of-the-box and can be easily managed by
a MSSP, providing truly simple deployment for organizations with
minimal IT resources. Each appliance comes with built-in management,
security updates and support, providing the perfect blend of
simplicity and security for small and medium businesses and branch
offices.
