Check Point Software's Firewall-1 continues to be the most versatile, best performing firewall you can buy. Its patented INSPECT language and sophisticated Stateful Inspection Technology give Firewall-1 the ability to provide a level of security that rivals proxy-based servers--without compromising performance.

Firewall-1 features encryption, VPNs based on IPSec standards, Network Address Translation, virus scanning and content filtering, in addition to IP firewalling services. Defining and implementing a security policy is a difficult process. Firewall-1 eases some of the pain with an interface that simplifies the implementation of the policy and centralizes the management of the multiple firewall and router policies.

Check Point has also garnered the support of more third-party vendors than any other firewall vendor. It boasts more than 100 hardware and software partners. This ensures that Firewall-1 users will continue to have plenty of options that aren't limited by Firewall-1's native functionality.

Hardware platforms for Firewall-1 are equally as varied. Thus, the already high performance made possible by the product's Stateful Inspection architecture can continue to track Moore's Law, regardless of whether it's functioning on Sun, HP or Intel platforms that are running Unix or Windows NT.
