Operational Impact
The implementation of the Check Point solution by Centric Networks has resulted in a more robust and reliable security infrastructure for Southern Housing Group. The Group now enjoys a high level of security at a reasonable cost, with the solution providing stress-free security. The solution has also led to lower telecommunications costs, faster throughput and user authentication, and more reliable Internet access. As a result, the Group has been able to focus more on its core mission of providing affordable housing, rather than dealing with security issues. The Group is now developing policies to allow a greater number of employees to work from their home offices, thanks to the improved throughput of their firewall platform. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Reduced monthly telephone bill by £9,000 (approximately US$16,800) by preventing port scans from running up charges. | |
Improved network throughput, with user authentication now instant rather than the previous 20 to 30 seconds. | |
100% Internet availability since deployment 9 months ago, compared to regular half-day outages every month previously. | |
