Next Generation Firewalls from Check Point focus on blocking malware and attacks at the application layer, providing protection far beyond the capabilities of traditional firewalls. With over 60 security services powered by ThreatCloud, the world’s most powerful cloud-based threat intelligence service, Quantum Security Gateways are able to quickly and seamlessly respond to prevent known and unknown cyberattacks across the network.
ThreatCloud aggregates threat data from millions of sensors deployed worldwide, analyzing billions of transactions daily. When a new threat is identified in one location, protection is immediately distributed to all Check Point devices globally. This collective intelligence provides real-time protection against zero-day attacks.
Check Point NGFW enables granular network segmentation in cloud and LAN environments. With detailed visibility into users, groups, applications, machines, and connection types on the network, they allow setting and enforcing “Least Privileged” access policies. This ensures that only the right users and devices can access protected resources.
The SandBlast feature provides advanced threat protection by analyzing suspicious files in an isolated sandbox environment before delivering them to users. Threat Extraction technology automatically removes potentially malicious elements from documents, delivering safe versions almost instantaneously.
The Quantum product family includes devices tailored to organizations of any size – from small offices to the largest data centers. Models differ in throughput and number of supported connections, but all provide the same level of security and are managed from a single, central console. Unified Management enables consistent security policy management across the entire infrastructure, regardless of its geographic distribution.
