that detects and prevents attacks against the Web infrastruc-
ture. It provides comprehensive protection for Web servers
against common Web application exploits like buffer over-
flows, command injection, and SQL injection. This includes
Check Point’s patent-pending Malicious Code Protector™,
which offers a revolutionary way of identifying buffer overflow,
heap overflows, and other malicious executable code attacks
that target Web servers and other applications without relying
on signature-based detection.
Endpoint security integration
InterSpect integrates with Check Point Integrity™ to provide
Cooperative Enforcement
®
of network and endpoint security
policies. This ensures that only compliant users can access
network resources while noncompliant users and nodes
will be quarantined and notified appropriately. Integrity
combined with InterSpect provides a critical component of
Check Point’s Total Access Protection framework, securing
both desktop and laptop PCs that connect to the corporate
network, as well as the network itself.
Unified security management
Under the NGX platform, InterSpect can now be managed
from the same console and server and by the same
administrators that manage other Check Point products
using the SmartCenter™ and Provider-1
®
/SiteManager-1™
unified management platforms. This includes the Security
Management Architecture (SMART) solutions and the VPN-1
®
line of gateways.
From the same console, administrators can manage all
their Check Point gateways and also deploy SmartDefense
updates to multiple devices simultaneously with a single
operation, thereby reducing administrative burden and errors.
