With Check Point Virtual Systems, customers can secure multiple network segments by selecting any combination of Check Point software blade protections -- such as firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention (IPS), application control, URL filtering, anti-bot, antivirus and identity awareness, says a release.

“From enterprise to large service providers, administrators often have multiple security appliances in place. Each of these appliances requires separate maintenance and management, which eventually makes security expensive, difficult to manage and inefficient. Security Virtualisation is an effective way to minimize complexity and cost” said Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, Regional Director, India & SAARC at Check Point Software Technologies.

With Check Point Virtual Systems customers can consolidating up to 250 Virtual Systems on a single gateway, each with customized software blade protections and policies, adds the release.
