“Micah Lloyd, a senior systems administrator for eBet Ltd., knew
that he needed to upgrade the security for eBet’s distributed
network. The company had been using Check Point 4.0 as a perimeter
firewall solution for its five offices. The problem was, though,
that upgrading to the latest version of Check Point would be a
costly and time-consuming proposition. Not only would eBet need to
pay for and manually install new software, but the underlying
hardware also would need to be updated, further adding to the
overall cost and complexity of the upgrade.“Headquartered in Australia and with operations and contractual
arrangements in New Zealand, Singapore, Greece, the Philippines and
the USA, eBet is a public company listed on the Australian and New
