Check Point Introduces Software-defined Protection Security Architecture
February 2014 by Marc Jacob
Check Point has introduced Software-defined Protection (SDP), a revolutionary security architecture that can protect organisations in today’s fast-evolving IT and threat landscape. Software-defined Protection effectively protects against new and emerging threats, through a design that is modular, agile and secure.
SDP is a three-layer security architecture with enforcement, control and management layers. This decouples the control layer from the enforcement layer, enabling robust and highly-reliable enforcement points that obtain real-time protection updates from the software-based control layer. SDP converts threat intelligence into immediate protections and is managed by a modular and open management structure.
