Basically if some things broken in our network it’s my team’s responsibility it fix it as well as well as to look into the future and see what improvements we can make to prevent an outage from happening.
Just a few years ago our role was primarily in the network space. In the last few years it’s been encroaching more and more on security and cybersecurity space. We were seeing an increase in hacking activity an increase of attempted excursions and increase of malware.
First and foremost we’re using Check Point firewalls which are critical to our infrastructure. Additionally we’re using Check Point’s IDS and IPS systems as a complement to those firewalls
We see communication on a level that is I believe a little bit higher than most companies are used to. And therefore coming from a variety of different directions. So we do need that wide array of firewalls to protect all that traffic from affecting us.
We’re using Check Point 21K, 23K, 41K, and 44K
The firewall itself will tell us what is being blocked and what’s being allowed. We have visibility into that with the ease of use of the Check Point firewalls as well as a level of comfort and confidence that making changed to the Check Point firewalls is not going to cause a problem down the line.
You could say that our entire 80 million customer base is affected in one way or another by Check point the fact is that the Check Point firewalls do a fantastic job in protecting the DDoS attacks.
The facts is that Check Point firewalls have notified us in directly or indirectly of intrusion from bad actors trying to access our network.
The most impressive thing about Check Point is the quality of the people that work at Check Point. Their dedication, their knowledge, their absolute commitment to helping their customer at least in my case, I know that without Check Point firm commitment to my company without their involvement without their expertise we
would be in a lot of trouble we wouldn’t be where we are today.
We use Check Point because the products are second to none because the people are outstanding and dedicated to helping their customers and because quite frankly there simply no better value for the money on the market
