Key Features:
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 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.
NEXT GENERATION SECURITY SOLUTIONS
The Check Point 13500 Appliance offers a complete and consolidated security solution in a 2U form factor. Based on the Check Point Software Blade architecture, the appliance is available in four Software Blade packages and extensible to include additional Software Blades for further security protection.
- Next Generation Firewall (NGFW): identify and control applications by user and scan content to stop threats— with IPS and Application Control.
- Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP): apply multiple layers of protection to prevent sophisticated cyber-threats— with IPS, Application Control, Antivirus, Anti-Bot, URL Filtering and Email Security.
- Next Generation Secure Web Gateway (SWG): enables secure use of Web 2.0 with real time multi-layered protection against web-borne malware—with Application Control, URL Filtering, Antivirus and SmartEvent.
- Next Generation Data Protection (NGDP): preemptively protect sensitive information from unintentional loss, educate users on proper data handling policies and empower them to remediate incidents in real-time—with IPS, Application Control and DLP.
PREVENT UNKNOWN THREATS WITH THREATCLOUD EMULATION
Check Point Appliances are a key component in the ThreatCloud Ecosystem providing excellent protection from undiscovered exploits, zero-day and targeted attacks. Appliances inspect and send suspicious files to the ThreatCloud Emulation Service which runs them in a virtual sandbox to discover malicious behavior. Discovered malware is prevented from entering the network. A signature is created and sent to the ThreatCloud which shares information on the newly identified threat to protect other Check Point customers.
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.
INCLUSIVE HIGH PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
Customers with high connection capacity requirements can purchase the affordable High Performance Package with the Next Generation security package of their choice. This includes the appliance plus a 4x10Gb SFP+ interface card, transceivers and 64 GB of memory for high connection capacity.
A RELIABLE SERVICEABLE PLATFORM
The Check Point 13500 Appliances deliver business continuity and serviceability through features such as hot-swappable redundant power supplies, hard disk drives and fans and includes an advanced LOM card for out-of-band management. Combined together, these features ensure a greater degree of business continuity and serviceability when these appliances are deployed in the customer’s networks.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING
A Lights-Out-Management (LOM) card provides out-of-band remote management to remotely diagnose, start, restart and manage the appliance from a remote location. Administrators can also use the LOM web interface to remotely install an OS image from an ISO file.
GAIA—A UNIFIED SECURE OS
Check Point GAiA™ is the next generation Secure Operating System for all Check Point appliances, open servers and virtualized gateways. GAiA combines the best features from IPSO and SecurePlatform into a single unified OS providing greater efficiency and robust performance. By upgrading to GAiA, customers will benefit from improved appliance connection capacity and reduced operating costs. With GAiA customers will gain the ability to leverage the full breadth and power of all Check Point Software Blades. GAiA secures IPv4 and IPv6 networks utilizing the Check Point Acceleration & Clustering technology and it protects the most complex network environments by supporting dynamic routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, BGP, PIM (sparse and dense mode) and IGMP. As a 64-Bit OS, GAiA increases the connection capacity of select appliances.
GAiA simplifies management with segregation of duties by enabling role-based administrative access. Furthermore, GAiA greatly increases operation efficiency by offering Automatic Software Updates. The intuitive and feature-rich Web interface allows for instant search of any commands or properties. GAiA offers full compatibility with IPSO and SecurePlatform command line interfaces, making it an easy transition for existing Check Point customers.
