Hosting Accessories: Managed Firewall

Your first line of defense against malicious threats.

Check Point VPN-1® UTM Edge™

There is no need to risk intrusion or threats to your servers that could compromise confidentiality and integrity of your data. The Planet’s Managed Firewall solution is based on the same technologies relied upon by Fortune 500 companies with Check Point VPN-1® UTM Edge™ X16 and XU appliances providing robust security and connectivity. Our Managed Firewall secures all popular Internet services with Check Point-patented Stateful Inspection and Application Intelligence™ technologies. These Check Point solutions also support more than 150 predefined applications, protocols, and services out-of-the-box, including instant messaging, multimedia services, peer-to-peer (P2P) applications, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Web applications.

The Planet Managed Firewall solution:

• Protects your servers by blocking malicious traffic with proven Check Point firewall technology
• Provides customized security profiles configured by our network security experts
• Frees up your servers to focus on their primary functions by offloading the firewall to a dedicated appliance

Remote Site Connectivity

With corporations turning to virtual private networks (VPNs) to link remote offices for information access or VoIP, VPN-1 UTM Edge appliances ensure communications privacy with IPSec VPN functionality that offers strong encryption and authentication. And they can easily be added to existing VPNs.

Dynamic networks, easy deployment

For large organizations with complex networks, VPN-1 UTM Edge appliances support Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) dynamic routing. Dynamic routing enables route-based VPNs-a simpler method of defining site-to-site VPNs. Route-based VPNs make encryption decisions based on routing tables, providing flexibility in ever-changing networks.
