Media Alert 803 0 Kommentare Check Point Provides Multiple Protections Against Heartbleed - Seite 2

"The Heartbleed vulnerability is so worrisome because of the pervasive use of OpenSSL and the fact that consumers often do not employ password best-practices, opening themselves to credential theft. Further, enterprises need to worry not only about the loss of customer account information, but also the compromise of employee credentials, as well as the exploitation of vulnerable network devices utilizing OpenSSL," said John Grady, research manager of security products and services at IDC.

"The Heartbleed bug is a serious security threat affecting a wide range of IT operations around the world. While it continues to be a major concern for many businesses, Hotel Nikko is safeguarded by Check Point's leading Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and its other network security solutions. We are pleased with Check Point's immediate protection and I'm confident in the security that Check Point provides for our network," said Manuel Ruiz, IT director at Hotel Nikko San Francisco.
