VPN-1 / FireWall-1 provides the ideal platform for enterprise VPN deployments, enabling encrypted communications and guaranteeing data privacy, integrity and authenticity. In addition to site-to-site VPN capability, VPN-1 / FireWall-1 Gateway deployments provide access to remote users when used with Check Point’s VPN-1 SecureClient and SecuRemote software. Digital certificate support is included for organizations with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.
