Bangalore: Check Point Software Technologies, a global provider Internet security solutions, has announced the expansion of its UTM-1 Total Security appliance line with the addition of a new model, UTM-1 130, providing small businesses and branch offices an all-inclusive security gateway to protect for only $3,500. The UTM-1 130 simplifies security by combining the industry's leading firewall, virtual private network (VPN), intrusion prevention, anti-virus, anti-spyware, URL filtering, Web security and messaging security into one centrally-managed, turn-key solution. When considering their security options, small businesses and branch offices face either deploying a solution outside their budget to achieve enterprise-class security or compromise their level of security by purchasing a less expensive solution. The UTM-1 130 appliance is ideal for small business and branch office environments of typically between 5 and 75 users that need a security appliance in desktop form factor. "Our partners and customers have long requested to get the full Check Point software in a smaller package and at a lower price point to fit their small business and branch office locations," said Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Check Point Software Technologies. "Now businesses don't have to compromise and can benefit from the full value of Check Point solutions. The UTM-1 130 provides customers a proven, tightly integrated security solution that can be managed locally or remotely from a central location." As with other Check Point UTM-1 Total Security appliances, the UTM-1 130 delivers maximum security at high-performance levels, eliminating security as a network bottleneck and allowing customers more room to grow while maintaining optimal security. The UTM-1 130 minimizes costs and simplifies operations with the same proven built-in centralized security management system used in Check Point enterprise-class solutions. In addition, each UTM-1 130 appliance includes complete security updates, hardware support and customer support for up to 3 years. Check Point UTM-1 130 Total Security features and benefits include: - All inclusive security including firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, anti-virus, anti-spyware, URL filtering, Web security, and messaging security - High performance level of 400Mbps for only $3,500 in convenient desktop form factor - Built in management allows for local administration, but the device can also be managed centrally with Check Points SmartCenter and Provider-1, simplifying deployment and streamlining security management of the office - Security updates enhance security levels and support for 3 years ensures longevity of the appliance
