  • Enterprise-grade, secure connectivity to corporate resources.
  • Strong user authentication.
  • Granular access control.

Factors to consider when choosing remote access solutions for your organization:

  • Client-Based vs. Clientless - Does the solution require a Check Point client to be installed on the endpoint computer or is it clientless, for which only a web browser is required. You might need multiple solutions within your organization to meet different needs.
  • Secure Connectivity and Endpoint Security - Which capabilities does the solution include?
    • Secure Connectivity - Traffic is encrypted between the client and VPN gateway. After users authenticate, they can access the corporate resources that are permitted to them in the access policy. All Check Point solutions supply this.
    • Endpoint Security - Endpoint computers are protected at all times, even when there is no connectivity to the corporate network. Some Check Point solutions supply this.

Client-Based vs. Clientless

Check Point remote access solutions use IPsec and SSL encryption protocols to create secure connections. All Check Point clients can work through NAT devices, hotspots, and proxies in situations with complex topologies, such as airports or hotels. These are the types of installations for remote access solutions:

  • Client-based - Client application installed on endpoint computers and devices. The client supplies access to most types of corporate resources according to the access privileges of the user.
  • Clientless - Users connect through a web browser and use HTTPS connections. Clientless solutions usually supply access to web-based corporate resources.
  • On demand client - Users connect through a web browser and a client is installed when necessary. The client supplies access to most types of corporate resources according to the access privileges of the user.

Secure Connectivity and Endpoint Security

You can combine secure connectivity with additional features to protect the network or endpoint computers.

  • Secure Connectivity - Traffic is encrypted between the client and VPN gateway and strong user authentication is supported. All Check Point solutions supply this.

    These solutions require licenses based on the number of users connected at the same time.

  • Security Verification for Endpoint computers - Makes sure that devices connecting to the gateway meet security requirements. Endpoint machines that are not compliant with the security policy have limited or no connectivity to corporate resources. Some Check Point solutions supply this.
  • Endpoint Security:
    • Desktop Firewall - Protects endpoint computers at all times with a centrally managed security policy. This is important because remote clients are not in the protected network and traffic to clients is only inspected if you have a Desktop Firewall. Some Check Point solutions supply this
    • More Endpoint Security Capabilities - Check Point solutions can include more Endpoint Security capabilities, such as anti-malware, disk encryption and more.

    These solutions require licenses based on the number of clients installed.
