October 2022 by Marc Jacob
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. has been recognized as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Firewalls, Q4 2022 report. Forrester, a leading global research and advisory firm, states in its report that Check Point “has an admirable vision: to be so good at threat prevention that it protects everyday business customers who aren’t cybersecurity specialists running a sophisticated SOC.” Through intuitive products that greatly simplify implementing security policies, any business can use Check Point to protect their enterprise.
As cyberattacks become more sophisticated and difficult to prevent, organizations need to step away from human-created models to fully provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection. Check Point uses AI, machine learning and deep learning to prevent sophisticated zero-day cyber security threats while delivering a simple visually appealing user interface for its customers. Check Point’s user interface improves security operations efficiency by quickly detecting, investigating, and automating responses across the entire IT infrastructure.
Other findings in the report include:
Check Point Quantum Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) – Forrester notes that Check Point excels in overall security performance with superior malware analysis and IDS/IPS.
Strong customer Support – Forrester remarks that Check Point kept its supply chain intact during the pandemic and customer references continue to hold the vendor’s usability in high regard.
Intuitive usability- Forrester states that Check Point’s user interface continues to be excellent, being both visually pleasing and intuitive.
Check Point Harmony Connect- Forrester mentioned that Check Point’s new firewall as a service offers five 9s (99.999%) availability with a very low 35ms latency connection. Harmony Connect provides comprehensive security from the cloud to apply a zero-trust policy to enterprise applications in the datacenter, IaaS or SaaS applications, secure internet access and browsing for remote users, and protect direct connections from branch offices to the cloud by securing organizations’ current SD-WAN infrastructures.
