Check Point GO is a USB drive that combines an encrypted USB flash drive with virtualization, VPN and computer security technologies to turn a PC into a secure corporate desktop. By plugging Check Point GO into the USB port of a Microsoft Windows OS-based PC or laptop, users can launch a secure virtual workspace that is segregated from the host PC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Check Point unveils Abra mobile )〕 This allows users to securely access company files and applications from any remote location, including insecure host environments such as a hotel business center or Internet café.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A virtual Secure workspace )〕 Check Point GO uses hardware and software encryption to protect user credentials, documents, and other sensitive data, so that data cannot be compromised in transit or in the event the device is lost. The system uses an authentication process that enforces minimum levels of password strength, as well as certificates and security tokens for multifactor authentication for remote connectivity. The device interfaces with software on a corporate server to support company policies and security updates through security gateways.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Check Point launches ABRA )〕 == History == 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Check Point puts VPN in USB stick )〕 Check Point GO (formerly Abra) was first introduced by Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. and SanDisk Corporation in March 2010 to address security and compliance issues for companies with remote employees. Workers have been increasingly demanding remote access to company applications and data.〔Telework Trendlines 2009, WorldatWork.〕 Personal equipment accessing the network can pose a risk to corporate networks, creating a potential avenue for corporate data loss or allowing unsecure connections.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Company white paper: Check Point GO – A Virtual Secure Workspace )〕 The companies cite that the Check Point GO system provides a solution for companies that want to let their employees purchase and manage their own PCs and laptops, for those needing high security (including encryption) for computing devices outside the workplace, as well as contractors/vendors who require access to the company network while working on site. Since its release, the product has won industry awards including "IT Product of 2010" by Computerworld and was named one of the “25 Hot Products to Watch” at the 2010 RSA Conference by CRN Magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=CRN Magazine )〕 Checkpoint GO went end-of-sale 31-DEC-2013, with support ending 31-DEC-2018 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Check Point Enterprise Support Lifecycle )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Check Point GO」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
