By enabling organisations to rapidly turn a firewall into a Virtual Private Network (VPN), VeriSign Trusted IPSec for Check Point from BT provides the integrated application security necessary for organisations to engage in secure business-to-business e-commerce, site-to-site communication, and trading exchanges. For users and network administrators to take advantage of all the benefits of a VPN, it must be safe from interception, eavesdropping and hacking.

Trusted IPSec for Check Point is one of the latest enhancements to the Managed PKI portfolio, consisting of BT's fully managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services. The solution integrates our managed security service directly into your existing Check Point architecture and is specifically designed for Check Point's FireWall-1™, VPN-1 SecuRemote™ and VPN-1 SecureClient™. The solution enables Check Point client users to easily acquire and use BT digital certificates to establish a scalable, manageable and secure VPN.
