Operational Impact
The implementation of Check Point Integrity has brought numerous operational benefits to Edwards Lifesciences. The company now has the confidence that only trusted endpoints have access to the private and proprietary information on its network. The Edwards security administrator can create policies that define the conditions under which PCs and other devices may be granted access to the network. These conditions include the specific operating system patches, antivirus updates, and application versions that must be present. Endpoints can also be denied access if they are running prohibited programs, like peer-to-peer file sharing applications. The process of modifying these policies has been found to be extremely easy. Furthermore, Integrity has reduced the risk of security breaches and has provided Edwards with a security advantage over other products. | |
