Hosting provider The Planet offers a May firewall discount

The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced a new promotion for the month of May with savings of up to 26 percent per month on its two popular Check Point solutions.

Urvish Vashi, Director of Product Management commented:

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard requires companies to have a secure firewall in place when accepting credit card payments. Companies that are compromised face serious risks as well as the loss of revenue and their hard-gained good reputations if there are breaches to their sites. This promotion signals a great time for companies to review their security profile and to consider an upgrade to their hosting infrastructures.

The Check Point X16, formerly priced at $89 per month, is now available for $69, a 22 percent savings. The Check Point XU is now available for $139 per month – reduced from $189 per month – a savings of 26 percent.
