Head To The Clouds

Interesting idea… or is it? I am not sure exactly how this is new in the world of anti-bot, anti-virus products. It seems that this is a feature of most enterprise class(if not all classes) of software competing in this space, but it certainly sounds cool… er, cloud. They are taunting us with some interesting aspects in the proverbial space of prevention:

multi-layered

multi-perspective

clean pipes

smart logs

Check Point has been known for moving things in new directions and pioneering new spaces. I am interested to see how this builds up and how flexible the deployment model of their virtual blades/virtual appliances pans out.
