Check Point Beefs Up Protections For Insider Attacks
Check Point Software Technologies this week plans to unveil an upgrade to its InterSpect internal security gateway.
InterSpect 2.0 provides a new spate of solutions to fight worms and viruses and offers network zone segmentation for quarantining problems.
It was expected to be available to solution providers immediately.
According to Tamir Hardof, product marketing manager at the Redwood City, Calif., vendor, the new InterSpect also incorporates further integration with the Check Point Integrity end-point security solution to safeguard networks from attacks introduced inside the network.
The new tool boasts one-click SmartDefense antivirus updates, as well as proactive protection that can recognize and stop the spread of e-mail worms by restricting messages delivered to the network using POP3/IMAP protocols, he said.
Customers also can manage and deploy these offerings from Check Point’s Smart management architecture, and view InterSpect 2.0 logs in the company’s SmartCenter console for easier management of enterprisewide deployments.
