Check Point Software and SofaWare Technologies Ltd., a Check Point company, have unveiled a
major upgrade to the Security Management Portal (SMP), a network security management system designed for service providers deploying the
company's award-winning Safe@Office and VPN-1 Edge Internet security solutions.
The new SMP 5.0 offers service and solution providers an unprecedented ability to deliver scalable value-added services to networks of
thousands of appliances to meet ever-changing customer needs. The application integrates a wide array of managed services into a single turnkey solution: network and firewall management, VPN management, firmware updates, email antivirus and antispam, Web content filtering, logging and reporting and dynamic DNS.
"Check Point's Safe@Office solutions were created on the premise that businesses need an adaptable network infrastructure to ensure growth," said Gregor Freund, chief technology officer, Check Point Software Technologies. "The new SMP 5.0 management system makes it easier than ever for service providers to leverage our award-winning technology and offer their customers a robust security solution to keep their businesses operating smoothly."
Key additions to the software include:
- A choice of built-in royalty-free antivirus and antispam scanners, and leading third party OPSEC certified content scanning solutions.
- A 'Virtual Portal' feature for running multiple instances of SMP on a single server, allowing solution providers to host multiple management
instances for different customers on a single infrastructure.
- Fully-customizable reporting features, including automated emailing of reports directly to customers.
- Powerful VPN management capabilities, including quick deployment of hierarchical hub and spoke and mesh VPNs with full dynamic IP support.
"The new SMP solution offers Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) a powerful solution for deploying, provisioning and managing small
business and distributed networks," said Liran Eshel, managing director, SofaWare Technologies. "This update is important because it creates a platform for MSSPs to deliver these value-added services with more revenue potential for them than ever before."
"Check Point's Security Management Portal has allowed AllStream to build a highly scaleable infrastructure for offering security services
to small and medium-sized businesses," said Laura Willems, director at AllStream, one of Canada's leading national business communication
solutions providers. "The SMP's new central management features now position Allstream to easily and efficiently manage thousands of small
office networks." |
