Why Check Point

“With Check Point we have a single vendor for both our network and endpoint security needs; this minimizes maintenance and complexity while simplifying management. If we didn’t move forward with this consolidation it would not be possible to have information security at our current level.”

– George Delikouras, Head of Information Security at Athens International Airport S.A.

“ The Check Point Software Blade solution allows us to see the big picture. It’s the first time we’ve had this level of visibility into both our network and endpoint machines; it’s like having hundreds of sensors in the network reporting back to us and keeping us informed in real-time.”– George Delikouras, Head of Information Security at Athens International Airport S.A.

THE CHECK POINT SOLUTION CHECK POINT BENEFITS

SUMMARY

Central management and security The complexity of the Athens International Airport requires a flexible, modular, and centrally managed solution. “Apart from airport business, we also act as a small telecom operator with 9,000 telephony and more than 5000 data network subscribers. In an environment as complex as ours, we not only need multiple layers of protection, we need to be able to monitor, identify, and eliminate threats from a central location,” said Delikouras. The Check Point security management solution enables AIA to correlate, manage, and prioritize events while minimizing the time spent analyzing log data. This results in reduced exposure to threats through consistent policy enforcement and maximizes operational efficiency.

Endpoint security safeguards corporate laptops With an ever increasing mobile workforce, AIA was in need of an endpoint security solution to protect corporate machines from malware and Internet threats while outside the airport network. “When laptops are taken outside the perimeter, it drastically changes the security landscape, explained Delikouras.” “Check Point’s solution not only offers Firewall and Anti-Malware Software Blades, it goes further by integrating a VPN agent as well as Compliance Check and Program Control. This unified solution integrates with our existing Check Point management software to provide a holistic view of both the endpoint and network. This simplifies management and reduces time spent on maintenance.”

Consolidation of Technologies Reduces ComplexityAIA runs a lean machine and getting the most out of its employees’ time is crucial to the success of the IT organization. The Check Point Software Blade Architecture consolidates multiple functionalities to cover a diverse set of security requirements and provides the organization with the flexibility to add additional layers of protection as needed. “If we were to operate these technologies as separate entities it would require us to hire additional staff. A great example of this is intrusion prevention. Having a separate solution is too complicated to manage and maintaining a large number of boxes is cost-prohibitive—without the Check Point IPS Software Blade we would be without an IPS solution.” – Delikouras
