Check Point 4200 Appliance
Entry level Enterprise security appliance (114 SPU/3 Gbps) with copper and fiber connectivity options

Overview:

Today the enterprise gateway is more than a firewall. It is a security device presented with an ever-increasing number of sophisticated threats. As an enterprise security gateway it must use multiple technologies to control network access, detect sophisticated attacks and provide additional security capabilities like data loss prevention and protection from web-based threats. The proliferation of mobile devices like smartphones and Tablets and new streaming, social networking and P2P applications requires a higher connection capacity and new application control technologies. Finally, the shift towards enterprise private and public cloud services, in all its variations, changes the company borders and requires enhanced capacity and additional security solutions.

Check Point's new appliances combine fast networking technologies with high performance multi-core capabilities—providing the highest level of security without compromising on network speeds to keep your data, network and employees secure. Optimized for the Software Blades Architecture, each appliance is capable of running any combination of Software Blades—providing the flexibility and the precise level of security for any business at every network location by consolidating multiple security technologies into a single integrated solution.

Each Check Point Appliance supports the Check Point 3D security vision of combining policies, people and enforcement for unbeatable protection and is optimized for enabling any combination of the following Software Blades: (1) Firewall, (2) VPN, (3) IPS, (4) Application Control, (5) Mobile Access, (6) DLP, (7) URL Filtering, (8) Antivirus, (9) Anti-spam, (10) Identity Awareness and (11) Advanced Networking & Clustering.

SecurityPower
Until today security appliance selection has been based upon selecting specific performance measurements for each security function, usually under optimal lab testing conditions and using a security policy that has one rule. Today customers can select security appliances by their SecurityPower ratings which are based on real-world customer traffic, multiple security functions and a typical security policy.

SecurityPower is a new benchmark that measures the capability and capacity of an appliance to perform multiple advanced security functions (Software Blades) such as IPS, DLP and Application Control in real world traffic conditions. This provides an effective metric to better predict the current and future behavior of appliances under security attacks and in day-to-day operations. Customer SecurityPower Unit (SPU) requirements, determined using the Check Point Appliance Selection Tool, can be matched to the SPU ratings of Check Point Appliances to select the right appliance for their specific requirements.

All-Inclusive Security Solution
Available in four Software Blade packages of 5, 7, 8 and 10 Blades, the 4200 Appliance is extensible to include additional Software Blades for further security in order to protect against any threat and exploit regardless of size and network location.

Integrated Security Management
The appliance can either be managed locally with its available integrated security management or via central unified management. Using local management, the appliance can manage itself and one adjacent appliance for high availability purposes.
