The University of Hawaii Protects Its Slice of Paradise With Check Point Security Tools

The University of Hawaii (UH) system includes 10 campuses and dozens of educational, training, and research centers across the six Hawaiian Islands. After many years of using a firewall from a legacy computer-network provider, UH decided it needed a solution with much more functionality and a better user interface. UH wanted to stay ahead of the network demand curve and forestall any potential performance issues. UH needed a solution that's more flexible and adaptable to the changing pattern of attacks on the Internet. UH turned to Check Point VPN-1 Power integrated firewall and VPN connectivity solution hosted on a Corrent SR600 series security appliance gave the university the most effective solution.
