Check Point introduced the Smart-1 security management appliance line. The new line of four appliances claims to unify network, IPS and endpoint security policy management and support almost 12 terabytes of integrated log storage.

The new appliances are expected to help enterprises improve administration efficiency and overall security.

Administrators can handle IPS, network and endpoint security policies from one console and its Software Blade architecture allows customers to extend the standard capabilities of Smart-1 appliances by adding additional management blades to it.

In addition, administrators can meet compliance requirements and streamline security management as the appliances offer integrated storage of log data from across multiple enterprise-wide devices.

The company claims that the applications also reduce the costs of acquiring, deploying and maintaining server attached distributed storage for customers.
