SecureData Security, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings and the sub-Saharan distributor for Check Point Software Technologies, today announced the latter's new Multi-Domain Management software blades, Global Policy and Security Domain, that deliver virtual security management to businesses of all sizes.
The new software blades enable businesses to segment their security management into virtual domains while consolidating their hardware infrastructure. In addition, the new software blades allow for stronger and better security with the deployment of consistent global policies across all domains.
To handle the increasing security complexity of their environment, IT administrators can now simplify management by segmenting security into virtual domains based on location, business unit or security function.
The Multi-Domain Management software blades, based on proven Provider-1 technology, help administrators consolidate their security management while simultaneously preserving the independence of each domain. For example, businesses can centralise the configuration and management of their firewall, VPN, IPS and other security protections across domains while maintaining separation of duties across each security function with a granular role-based administration.
In addition, through the Global Policy Software Blade, administrators can achieve better and stronger security by enforcing a common security baseline and sharing a common network topology across multiple domains.
"Check Point has led innovation in the security management market for almost two decades, helping organisations achieve greater operational efficiency and better overall security," commented Doros Hadjizenonos, Product Manager at SecureData for Check Point Software Technologies' products.
"These new multi-domain software blades can easily be deployed into customer's current security management providing a unique and flexible solution that further simplifies security whilst leveraging customers' existing infrastructure. They are also available as dedicated SMART-1 appliances for easy plug-and-play.”
"The Multi-Domain Management blade is critical to the success of customers as it provides the ability to separate the environments by management function," continued Hadjizenonos. "With this separation customers are able to delegate responsibilities on a per function and user basis as their security administration policies change."
Key features and benefits of the Multi-Domain Management Software Blade include:
* Centralised monitoring for all gateways and multi-domain system components in a single management console.
* Increased management flexibility and accuracy with enhanced role-based administration and granular control.
* Increased efficiency with consistent global policies across domains.
* Reduced hardware investment and overall lower total cost of ownership.
"The Software Blade architecture of Check Point makes it easy for companies to consolidate their security management. With today's newest software blades, it is now easy to segment this security management into virtual domain providing the benefits of consolidation while maintaining the flexibility needed for each domain," concluded Hadjizenonos.
