Making Broadband Safe
"Always-on" broadband connectivity makes Internet access fast and easy. Unfortunately, it also leaves your home office or business wide open to Internet hazards, such as hackers and viruses. Worse still, if your working from home or from a remote site, there is the danger that your PC could be used as a means to attack your corporate network.
Check Point's Safe@Office appliance, delivers security solutions to home offices, small businesses an distributed enterprises, enabling them to protect data privacy, maintain network integrity, block objectionable content, stop viruses, and secure access to any size corporate network.
Safe@Office makes it easy to accomplish all these objectives easily and intuitively, through its simple installation and management capabilities.
Incorporating state-of-the-art firewall technology from Check Point Software Technologies, the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, Safe@Office blocks attacks before they reach your network. Network Address Translation (NAT) allows your broadband Internet connection to be shared among several PCs. Safe@Office also supports Virtual Private Network (VPN) functionality, enabling secure access to resources on your corporate network or remote site.
How Does Safe@Office Work?
Simply connect your Safe@Office appliance to your high speed router on one side, and to network PCs on the other side. Configuration is easy with a simple web based management interface. Go to http://my.firewall, follow the easy prompts, and you will be up and running in no time!
Your Safe@Office appliance allows you to connect multiple computers to the Internet, and with all of your computers connected you now have enterprise-level hacker protection.
In addition to its advanced built-in security functionality, Safe@Office solutions allow remote management from your corporate administrator or service provider. This allows small businesses to transfer security management responsibility to security experts, and allows enterprises to enforce an effective, comprehensive, security policy for any size network. Additionally, remote management makes add-on security services available, such as website filtering and anti-virus.
