Check Point 4200 Appliance
Entry level Enterprise security appliance (114 SPU/3 Gbps) with copper and fiber connectivity options

Key Features:

SecurityPower
Until today security appliance selection has been based upon selecting specific performance measurements for each security function, usually under optimal lab testing conditions and using a security policy that has one rule. Today customers can select security appliances by their SecurityPower ratings which are based on real-world customer traffic, multiple security functions and a typical security policy.

SecurityPower is a new benchmark that measures the capability and capacity of an appliance to perform multiple advanced security functions (Software Blades) such as IPS, DLP and Application Control in real world traffic conditions. This provides an effective metric to better predict the current and future behavior of appliances under security attacks and in day-to-day operations. Customer SecurityPower Unit (SPU) requirements, determined using the Check Point Appliance Selection Tool, can be matched to the SPU ratings of Check Point Appliances to select the right appliance for their specific requirements.

All-Inclusive Security Solution
Available in four Software Blade packages of 5, 7, 8 and 10 Blades, the 4200 Appliance is extensible to include additional Software Blades for further security in order to protect against any threat and exploit regardless of size and network location.

• Firewall (FW): create user-based access control and secure connections to corporate networks for remote and mobile users, branch offices and business partners with IPsec VPN.
• Next Generation Firewall (NGFW): identify and control applications by user and scan content to stop threats-with IPS and Application Control.
• Next Generation Data Protection (NGDP): preemptively protect sensitive information from unintentional loss, educate users on proper data handling policies and empower them to remediate incidents in real-time-with IPS, Application Control and DLP.
• Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP): apply multiple layers of protection to prevent sophisticated cyber-threats- with IPS, Application Control, Antivirus, Anti-Bot, URL Filtering and Email Security.

Integrated Security Management
The appliance can either be managed locally with its available integrated security management or via central unified management. Using local management, the appliance can manage itself and one adjacent appliance for high availability purposes.

GAiA-THE UNIFIED SECURITY OS
Check Point GAiA™ is the next generation Secure Operating System for all Check Point appliances, open servers and virtualized gateways. GAiA combines the best features from IPSO and SecurePlatform into a single unified OS providing greater efficiency and robust performance. By upgrading to GAiA, customers will benefit from improved appliance connection capacity and reduced operating costs. With GAiA, customers will gain the ability to leverage the full breadth and power of all Check Point Software Blades. GAiA secures IPv4 and IPv6 networks utilizing the Check Point Acceleration & Clustering technology and it protects the most complex network environments by supporting dynamic routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, BGP, PIM (sparse and dense mode) and IGMP. As a 64-Bit OS, GAiA increases the connection capacity of select appliances.

GAiA simplifies management with segregation of duties by enabling role-based administrative access. Furthermore, GAiA greatly increases operation efficiency by offering Automatic Software Updates. The intuitive and feature-rich Web interface allows for instant search of any commands or properties. GAiA offers full compatibility with IPSO and SecurePlatform command line interfaces, making it an easy transition for existing Check Point customers.
