Talk:Check Point

Changes to Check Point page - Products section

Hi, following a conversation with john of Reading, I would like to suggest edits to the product section of the Check Point Wikipedia page. to begin with, I am declaring i am currently employed by Check Point as the Head of Product marketing. my main intention is to ensure the factual accuracy of the Check Point Portfolio of products. The product section was not updated for a long time and I want to make sure it accurately represents our offering to date (2020) for the update suggested below I am suggesting an objective and neutral language that has no marketing appeal to it, nor it discusses any superlatives or sales bias.

Under network Security add the following: Next Generation Firewall – running GAiA OS, R80.x software [12], Check Point next generation firewalls and software platforms support small businesses (SMB) to large enterprise data center and telco-grade environments. Each security gateway includes next generation firewall, IPS, VPN, WAF, SSL, and Data Security (DLP) as well as threat prevention technologies blocking known and unknown a cyber-attacks. The security gateways are available as a cloud service, software-only products that can run on standard hardware, or dedicated security gateway hardware appliances. [13]

  Clarification requested  

• The requested prose contains a number within brackets ([12]). This number is not linked to anything on the talk page. Text which is proposed to be added to an article should not contain extraneous numbers, or if it does, these should link to references which are provided on the talk page.
• The references are duplicates. When one reference is repeated, it should use the |ref name= parameter for its ref tag.
• There are other items which are not Wikilinked, specifically, the terms large enterprise data center, telco-grade environments and dedicated security gateway hardware appliances. Please advise.
