Check Point Software Technologies, a leader in securing the Internet, and VeriSign, a leading provider of Internet trust services, recently unveiled VeriSign Go Secure! for Check Point which facilitates the deployment of digital certificates in Check Point`s VPN-1T/FireWall-1 solution.
Go Secure! for Check Point includes the elements needed to rapidly deploy a VPN using VeriSign`s digital certificates and Check Point`s Secure Virtual Network (SVN) architecture. Go Secure! for Check Point is the first VeriSign Go Secure! Service for VPNs. VeriSign`s Go Secure! Services enable enterprises to easily and rapidly incorporate digital certificate-based functionality into their messaging, VPN, and Web access applications.
By plugging directly into the existing VPN-1 SecuRemote or VPN-1 SecureClient architecture, VeriSign`s Go Secure! service makes remote access VPNs easy to deploy, administer and use as there are no additional IT infrastructure changes required.
Go Secure! for Check Point consists of the components network administrators need to rapidly deploy large-scale, trusted VPNs. Easy-to-use tools let network administrators control the approval, enrolment, validation, issuance and renewal of digital certificates while relying on VeriSign`s certificate processing, backup, and customer support services.
End-users interact with customised, Web-based enrolment forms to request and receive their digital certificates. Through one click, end-users can now instantly install digital certificates into Check Point`s VPN-1 SecuRemote and VPN-1 SecureClient without the need for any training or additional administrative support.
Go Secure! for Check Point will be available in February 2000. Prices begin at $60 a user with prices declining to under $10 per user in large volume installations. Training courses and product integration services are available from VeriSign for Check Point`s SVN family of products, and VeriSign`s PKI and VPN services.
VeriSign solutions are available in SA from the South African Certification Authority (SACA). Check Point Software is represented locally by EC-Hold, DataSecure and Dimension Data Networks.
