Check Point Eventia Analyzer 2.0 Simplifies Security Event Management With Extended Support for Endpoint and Network Security Devices.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Comprehensive SEM Solution Supports Endpoint Security and Microsoft Windows While Providing a Holistic View of Security Events for Large Distributed Environments

Check Point(R) Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that Eventia Analyzer 2.0 -- a comprehensive security event management solution that automatically prioritizes security events for decisive, intelligent action -- has extended support to the endpoint and correlates data for anti-virus applications, personal firewalls and operating systems. Eventia Analyzer 2.0 offers native support and integration with the full range of Check Point security products as well as major third party security solutions, and scales to support complex service-provider and large-enterprise environments. By automating the correlation of raw security data, Eventia Analyzer 2.0 is a powerful, easy-to-use security event management solution that helps IT security departments reduce the cost and complexity of security event correlation, management, and reporting.

SEM solutions, such as Eventia Analyzer 2.0, help relieve the burden placed on IT administrators by analyzing data from multiple security devices across the network and automatically prioritizing the data for immediate action. Eventia Analyzer 2.0 provides centralized, real-time correlation of log data from Check Point perimeter, internal, web and endpoint security products -- as well as third party security devices -- and turns volumes of raw data into actionable information to empower security administrators to make informed decisions on their security deployment.

"I had to deal with volumes of logs coming from multiple security and network devices across my network and needed a way to centralize and correlate these logs in order to do in-depth network inspection for securing and controlling the traffic on the network," said Ather Mahmood, director of IT Operations at IQ Technologies. "Eventia Analyzer surprised me with its simplicity and I was able to get the system up and running very quickly. Overall, this SEM solution helped increase my efficiency in dealing with log data and identifying high risk threats and the products expanded support for Windows and endpoint security applications will provide greater visibility into the network."

By automating the aggregation and correlation of security data and events, Eventia Analyzer 2.0 not only reduces the amount of information that needs to be reviewed but also isolates and prioritizes real security threats. Eventia Analyzer 2.0 is powerful, yet easy to fine tune. The product delivers robust core functionality that can be deployed in days, is optimized for the Check Point environment, but can support heterogeneous devices from companies of all sizes -- including service providers.

"Many companies deploy a layered security approach which can be effective for organizations of all sizes, however this strategy also adds additional administrative responsibilities for an IT staff," said Ken Fitzpatrick, chief marketing officer for Check Point Software Technologies. "While other SEM products in the market correlate data from only a handful of security devices found in a typical network, Check Point's Eventia Analyzer 2.0 provides comprehensive support for Check Point and third party security devices, which allow customers greater flexibility, scalability and value for their investment."

Customers who deploy Eventia Analyzer 2.0 as part of their network security strategy will enjoy the following new capabilities:

--Seamless integration with Check Point and third party products -- Integration with the entire line of Check Point Software solutions and major third-party security devices provides better event detection, prevention and out-of-the-box value. Eventia Analyzer 2.0 extends support to Check Point Integrity endpoint security products, as well as Microsoft Windows operating systems and anti-virus applications, providing a unified view of logs for better event detection and prevention.

--Support for large distributed environments -- Global and customer level correlation capabilities allow service providers to offer seamlessly integrated SEM services to their customers, and gives large enterprises better visibility into the security posture across their network.

--User-definable event response -- Customers can tailor event definitions for each unique network environment and behavior.
