Operational Impact
The implementation of Check Point Security Gateway Virtual Edition (VE) provided CUHK with a comprehensive, easy-to-manage, and scalable solution. It offered complete security for its dynamic virtualized environments, including Firewall, IPS, VPN, Anti-virus, Anti-spam, URL Filtering, and Web security. The solution also simplified management by providing a single interface for both physical and virtualized environments, and tailored reporting to accelerate auditing and achieve compliance. Furthermore, the solution was extensible, allowing CUHK to protect against emerging threats with optional Software Blades and include IPS and Web security at the hypervisor level. This ensured that CUHK could keep pace with its virtualization strategy and continue to deliver high-quality education and research. | |
