Case Study: TeliaSonera achieves high availability, simplified management and license cost control with Check Point Software

TeliaSonera Enhances Competitiveness with Check Point Security

TeliaSonera, a leading Nordic and Baltic telecommunications operator with growing mobile presence across Europe and Asia, needed a flexible, cost‑effective security platform to support its expanding managed‑services business. The company faced challenges securing its internal and subscriber networks against mobile‑specific attacks, managing hundreds of firewall gateways across diverse customer environments, ensuring high availability, and controlling software licensing to contain costs.

TeliaSonera deployed Check Point solutions—VPN-1 Power VSX for perimeter protection, FireWall-1 GX with GTP inspection for mobile network security, ClusterXL for seamless high availability and load distribution, and Provider-1 for centralized policy and license management. The implementation delivered stronger perimeter and GTP‑level protection, uninterrupted subscriber services through clustering, simplified administration of hundreds of gateways, tighter license control, and greater competitiveness in the managed‑services market, enabling tiered offerings for SMBs and supporting rapid growth.
