About The Customer
Silverton Casino is a prominent entertainment venue located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The casino boasts 300 deluxe rooms and suites, a variety of restaurants, and more than 90,000 square feet of gaming space with over 2000 slot machines and 30 card tables. Employing approximately 800 employees, Silverton was recently voted as a “Best Place to Work” in Las Vegas. The casino operates in an environment where data integrity and confidentiality are critical, making network security a top priority.
The Challenge
Silverton Casino, a Las Vegas-based entertainment hub, faced significant challenges in protecting sensitive corporate data and maintaining PCI and internal security requirements. With a small IT staff, managing a complex environment efficiently was a daunting task. The casino operates in an environment where data integrity and confidentiality are paramount, and it needed to block malicious activity from external sources, ensure maximum data protection and preservation, protect business-critical assets and systems, and meet strict PCI compliance. The selection criteria for a solution included cost-effectiveness, ease-of-use, integrated security solution, and robust perimeter protection.
The Solution
Silverton Casino adopted the Check Point UTM-1 576 appliance and multiple Software Blades to ensure comprehensive multi-layered protection for its network. The appliance, positioned at the edge of the Silverton network, protects the casino from illegitimate traffic and potential intruders. The integrated IPS solution, a PCI requirement for all companies processing credit card information over the internet, provides Silverton with multi-layered threat protection, ensuring customer data security, PCI compliance, and ease of management. The Check Point Software Blade Architecture allows Silverton to have multiple layers of protection on a single device, increasing security while consolidating technologies and reducing management complexity.
