A new Market in new Homes for Check Point´s SME Security Solution
Deal which reinforces Check Point's success in the SME market
New homes are providing a new market for Check Point, with the installation of Check Point Safe@Office security appliances at 21 new flats in Bishop's Stortford. Wick Hill reseller Natpoint has embarked on a project with developer Stephen Howard Homes to install the Safe@Office appliances, which will provide firewall protection for the pre-installed broadband in the flats.
New buyers will get the benefit of industrial strength firewalling, from the world's leading supplier of firewall systems, while the developer hopes that this new direction in built-in communications will provide the company with a competitive edge. Although providing broadband access in new buildings has been done before, providing security, as well, is a new phenomenom, particularly for flats in the £220,000-£250,000 range.
The deal reinforces Check Point's success in providing a range of security solutions for the SME/SMB market. Safe@Office is one of a range of competitively priced firewall-based security systems launched by Check Point for this market in 2004. The range also includes Check Point Express, aimed specifically at providing security for the mid-sized business with up to 500 employees and multiple sites; and VPN-1 Edge, designed to deliver secure connectivity for remote sites and VPN deployments.
Ian Kilpatrick, chairman of Wick Hill Group, Check Point's SME value added distributor, who were appointed to help Check Point reach this new market, commented: "The robustness, low cost and centralised management of Check Point's SME solutions make them ideal for this kind of deployment. We expect to see significant growth in this kind off application." 18.08.2005, Wick Hill
