DQC News Bureau

Bangalore: Secure Computing Corporation has achieved Check Point OPSEC (Open
Platform for Security) certification, seamlessly interfacing its global
reputation system, Trusted Source, with the market-leading Check Point VPN-1
Power gateway.

"Customers can now take full advantage of Secure Computing's global
reputation intelligence by simply interfacing the TrustedSource module with
Check Point," said Atri Chatterjee, senior VP at Secure Computing.
"The powerful combination of TrustedSource and VPN-1 yields significant
benefits such as easy installation, policy management and overall
security."

TrustedSource evaluates the reputation of Web entities and communications in
real time, based on behavior. TrustedSource provides reputation scores for IPs,
domains and URLs. Using this real-time scoring via the TrustedSource module,
Check Point VPN-1 Power can allow organizations to drop connections from
malicious sources in order to prevent security threats such as spam and phishing,
reclaim bandwidth and reduce server processing.

Check Point VPN-1 Power gateway provides security and remote connectivity for
enterprise network environments. When interfaced with VPN-1 Power, the new
TrustedSource module enables customers to eliminate 90 percent of incoming spam
and malicious email at the gateway, providing enhanced security and bandwidth
savings.

"Enterprises today desire interoperability to leverage multiple
solutions in their IT infrastructure," said Bob Egner, VP, product
management for Check Point. "OPSEC Certification of Secure Computing's
TrustedSource module for Check Point VPN-1 Power ensures that our joint
customers can benefit from a powerful combination of technologies to defend
against the myriad of threats they face each day."
