Quantum Security Gateways include SandBlast Network
Zero-day Protection providing hyper-scalable and power-efficient protection out
of the box against Gen V cyber threats, from branch offices to data centers
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a
leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, has today announced the
availability of its complete Quantum Security Gateways™ series, which deliver
unprecedented protection, scalability, and ease of deployment and control for
enterprises, from their branch offices to corporate data centers.
The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic
has forced enterprises to quickly expand support for remote connectivity and
home working at an unprecedented scale. Recent research by Check Point showed
that 71% of enterprise IT and security professionals globally reported an
increase in security threats and attacks since the pandemic started, as
criminals seek to exploit the remote working explosion, and 95% of respondents
said they are facing added IT security challenges related to these changes.
Organizations are focused on three
key network and security requirements:
· Preventing
even advanced, zero-day cyber-attacks before they impact the organization
· The
ability to secure any type of network expansion or changes on demand
· Unified
solutions that speed up operations and automate protection
Check Point’s range of new Quantum Security Gateways deliver an
industry-leading combination of advanced security protections, with over 2x the
performance and half the energy consumption of rival high-end appliances. All
of the Quantum Security Gateway models are now bundled with Check Point’s
award-winning SandBlast Zero Day Protection with more than 60 security services
focused on threat prevention, out of the box. This includes a 100% block score
for malware prevention for email and web, exploit resistance and post-infection
catch rate, as seen in the NSS
Labs’ recent Breach Prevention Systems (BPS) Group Test.
They also feature lightning fast
SSL-encrypted traffic inspection for maximum security. Key highlights of the
Quantum Security Gateway range include:
· Hyperscale-ready with up to 1.5
Tera-bps of Threat Prevention Performance
· Latest CPU models
· Modularity and easy customization
through multiple expansion slots
· 100% Enterprise Solid State Drives
(SSD), second power supply unit, and lights-out management for optimum
reliability and availability.
“Enterprises today require
cybersecurity solutions that provide strong threat prevention to stop
sophisticated multi-vector attacks, on-demand scalability to keep pace with
changing network traffic requirements including an increase in remote workers,
and centralized management to reduce complexity and improve efficiency,” said
John Grady Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). “Check Point’s new
Quantum Security Gateways ™ address these IT challenges through high
performance SandBlast Network threat prevention, security capacity expansion
on-demand, and a unified security management platform that can reduce
operational costs. These innovations enable enterprises to stay ahead of the
attack landscape while meeting the changing needs of the business.”
“Addressing our customers’ critical
network security challenges is what we do at Check Point every day, and today,
enterprises need industry-leading threat prevention capabilities at all points
of their infrastructure, and the ability to quickly adapt and scale their
security almost infinitely,” said Itai Greenberg, VP Product Management and
Product Marketing at Check Point. “With the new Quantum Security Gateway series
we are uniquely delivering to market uncompromised security and performance
