Integration for Secure eBusiness
For customers or OPSEC partners seeking to secure their applications from client to server across the Internet, intranet or extranets, OPSEC delivers the flexibility to incorporate the protocols and services necessary for Secure Virtual Networking (SVN). OPSEC extends the power of SVN for eBusiness applications by delivering integrated access enforcement, robust intrusion detection and Quality of Service (QoS) all within a centralized policy management framework. Through OPSEC, Check Point has partnered with leading application vendors and customers to deliver a scalable and highly available security architecture that delivers end to end security across heterogeneous computing environments.

Check Point achieves this adaptability by leveraging its patented Stateful Inspection technology. Stateful Inspection's extensibility allows it to support new applications by using INSPECT, a high-level programming language that can be compiled and downloaded to enforcement points and executed in accordance with the security policy. The INSPECT engine resides dynamically at the operating system kernel for very high performance and also includes awareness of all communication layers of the IP protocol family and the applications built on top of them. The result: integrating applications with Check Point enable users to create a security layer across their network with all the elements necessary for secure eBusiness.

Check Point has delivered the broadest support for applications and network services of any security vendor in the world. Applications currently supported can be viewed on Check Point's VPN-1/FireWall-1 Application Support page.
