Simple VPN Management
One-Click VPN Deployment
SmartDashboard enables administrators to create
large-scale VPNs in a single operation. Using
VPN Manager, administrators can define VPN
communities, and set security parameters for the
entire VPN, such as intranet, extranet and
remote access deployments, in one step. By
grouping all VPN-1 gateways in a community, VPNs
are enabled among all the gateways or between a
remote user and a gateway. As new sites or users
are added to the community, they automatically
inherit the appropriate properties and can
immediately establish secure IPSec sessions with
the rest of the VPN community. SmartCenter
supports a number of network topologies
including fully meshed, star, hub and spoke in
addition to hybrids of these topologies. This
makes it easy for enterprises to move away from
using costly frame relay connectivity to
cost-effective Internet VPNs.

Integrated Strong
Authentication Out-Of-The-Box
Check Point
management solutions include an Internal
Certificate Authority, enabling organizations to
use X.509 digital certificates to authenticate
participants in an IPSec VPN to do so
out-of-the-box. One-Click Certificates are
automatically issued to all Check Point
management and enforcement points for
site-to-site VPN communications eliminating the
need to deploy a separate PKI product for strong
user authentication.
Granular Remote User VPN
Management
The
VPN-1 SecureClient Packaging Tool Check Point
streamlines remote user management and improves
overall security by ensuring that client
software installations are always consistent and
current. This powerful tool enables security
administrators to create customized,
self-extracting installation packages for their
VPN-1 SecureClient users. In addition,
administrators can specify Secure Configuration
Verification (SCV) checks - a set of conditions
that define a securely configured client system,
such as the current version of anti-virus
software or the proper operation of the personal
firewall policy.
