Currently, the most serious and sophisticated threats to network security come
from attacks that target and expose application and server vulnerabilities. Many traditional firewalls, which stop 90 percent of all network attacks, are not suited to detect and thwart attacks at the application level.  To overcome this challenge, Check Point recently introduced Application Intelligence, a set of advanced capabilities, integrated into Check Point FireWall-1 NG and SmartDefense, which detect and prevent application-level attacks. Application Intelligence redefines the network security landscape by evolving FireWall-1 into the only security gateway solution that integrates both network and application-level capabilities to deliver comprehensive attack protection and network security.  For more information, please visit http://www.checkpoint.com/appint/index.html.

Compuquip Technologies will be hosting a Checkpoint Seminar in January 2004 where we will examine the benefits of Application Intelligence on the Checkpoint Firewall.  For additional information or to register for this event, please click on the following link.
