IT professionals understand that “one-size-fits-all” security solutions are making it more difficult to adjust to changing business needs. Challenges, such as increasing pressure to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), combating evolving threats, and keeping things simple and manageable, can be compounded when a security infrastructure is inflexible.

Security environments are growing in complexity because it is necessary to continually add more and more functions, like firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), IPsec VPN, and antivirus, just to name a few. When these functions are supported by distinct appliances, they can be difficult to integrate, test, and manage.

The Check Point Software Blade architecture provides a better alternative to deploying disparate, stand-alone security systems in order to keep up with evolving security threats. This architecture is based on independent security modules that all run on a single platform, simplifying integration and management. This revolutionary security architecture delivers a simple, flexible, and manageable total security solution. Organizations can customize security configurations to dial in the right mix of protection and investment while having the ability to easily consolidate, re-allocate, migrate, and scale up systems in the future, as needed.
