Operational Impact
The implementation of Check Point's IPS software blade resulted in a more secure, affordable, and efficient system for the Superior Court of California, Orange County. The court was able to replace a limited IPS system with Check Point’s integrated IPS software blades, strengthening its defense against Internet infiltration. The solution improved security at a lower cost and simplified management. The reduced CPU utilization provided a longer-term solution. The stability of Check Point firewalls provided more reliable security. The ease of management, with firewalls and IPS centrally managed from the same security dashboard, improved IT productivity. The solution also offered preconfigured recommended settings, saving set-up time and management effort. | |
Quantitative Benefit
With the IPS software blade for three chokepoints, the court saved between $50,000-$75,000, potentially up to a couple hundred thousand dollars. | |
Reduced hardware requirement by 50% with integrated firewall and IPS software blade. | |
On the busiest court days, CPU utilization for IPS is less than 20 percent, allowing more protection without hardware upgrade. | |
