Cybercrime can occur across an entire network, from headquarters, to the data center, to remote offices.

With the proliferation of security threats and sophisticated attacks, hackers will try to exploit a network through any weak links. The 1100 Appliances provide branch and remote offices the same proven security protections found in enterprise-scale network deployments.
“Branch offices can be considered enterprises’ weakest link. Security solutions for remote sites cannot be neglected, regardless of the site’s size or purpose,” said Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point. “The 1100 Appliances offer Check Point’s industry-leading security for branch offices and come complete with customisable management, optimal performance and appropriate hardware pricing and design.”
