Bangalore: Check Point Software Technologies, a software and hardware company focused in Firewall and VPN products, has announced that it started shipping in India a new version of Check Point Endpoint Security, the first single agent for endpoint security to combine the highest-rated firewall, network access control (NAC), program control, remote access, antivirus, anti-spyware, full disk encryption and media encryption with port protection. The new release, Check Point Endpoint Security R70, features a newly enhanced and streamlined interface as well as additional tools for enterprise deployment. By creating a single endpoint security agent with a single client interface, deploying and managing endpoint security is dramatically simplified. A single tray icon on the endpoint device makes reviewing security status and settings easier and eliminates interoperability conflicts. Consequently, Check Point Endpoint Security's single agent and client interface reduces the time and costs associated with endpoint security. "The complexity of deployment and also the cost associated with audit and management of security solutions has been a major deterrent for smaller Indian enterprises. Rather than having to deploy and manage multiple solutions to mitigate each type of endpoint risk, Check Point Endpoint Security provides customers a single easy-to-manage endpoint security solution," said Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, Country Sales Manager, India & SAARC, Check Point Software Technologies. "By combining endpoint security into one comprehensive solution, Check Point eases the burden placed on security administrators. Our unified agent for total endpoint security significantly reduces the total cost of ownership and provides organizations with enhanced security," he added.
