(NASDAQ: CHKP) OPSEC® (Open Platform for Security) certification for its award-winning FireProof product.
OPSEC certification involved rigorous testing of Radware's FireProof to ensure seamless interoperability and integration. By using FireProof Application Switch with Check Point's VPN-1®/FireWall-1® NG, customers can implement proven solutions to build secure, mission-critical networks.
Radware's FireProof ensures continuous, optimized service across firewalls and VPNs on both inbound and outbound traffic. Providing full fault tolerance and optimization between multiple firewalls, FireProof intelligently distributes traffic between up to 100 firewalls and VPNs, eliminating bottlenecks and single points of failure, as well as planned and unplanned downtime.
Fireproof is the only product to integrate application security into its firewall traffic management solution. The Application security module provides another layer of defense for firewalls and augments protection for VPN applications with protection from over 450 different types of attacks. Suspect traffic is identified and denied before it ever reaches the firewall or VPN.
"We are pleased to be one of the first vendors to receive OPSEC Certification for NG from Check Point, as this validates Radware's market leadership in firewall traffic management," said Aril Ziv, VP Business Development of Radware.
