Check Point®
Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of
cybersecurity solutions globally, has introduced its next-generation
unified cyber security platform, Check Point R81. The new platform is the industry’s first to deliver autonomous
threat prevention designed for the entire distributed enterprise, enabling IT
staff to manage the most complex and dynamic network environments easily and
efficiently.
Enterprises have
accelerated their digital transformation programs and changed IT priorities in
response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has increased their cyber risk
exposure and risen the complexity of managing employees remotely. Seventy
one percent of security professionals reported
an increase in cyber threats since the beginning of the pandemic. Addressing the need for better security and
less complexity, demands consolidation and automation of threat prevention
technologies, processes, and policies to make protection smarter and more
efficient across organizations’ complex, distributed networks.
Check Point R81 cyber security platform delivers:
- Highest levels of security with autonomous threat prevention: R81 has the industry’s first autonomous Threat Prevention system, which eliminates labor-intensive manual threat classification and updates. All gateways update automatically by AI-based threat prevention for complete protection against even zero-day threats. R81’s new Infinity threat prevention policy enables security teams to implement in a single click, security best practices that then continuously update automatically.
- Rapid response to changing security needs with fastest policy installation: Reducing policy installation time by up to 90%*, from minutes to seconds. Moreover, security admins can upgrade hundreds of remote gateways to the new release in a click of a button.
- Automatic security performance: R81 uses dynamic allocation of gateway resources across the enterprise to deliver automatically the best hardware performance and security.
· Optimal security
for encrypted network traffic (SSL): R81 utilizes the latest standards
for secure connectivity including TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2, and ensures threats
cannot hide in encrypted traffic. A dedicated policy layer allows the admin to
control easily the decision to inspect or bypass network traffic.
