Anti-Bot Software Blade

The Check Point Anti-Bot Software Blade discovers bot outbreaks and detects APT attacks using the multi-tier ThreatSpect engine. Via up-to-the-minute threat intelligence feeds from the ThreatCloud knowledgebase, the Anti-Bot Software Blade prevents bot damages by blocking bot C&C communications, and integrates with other Software Blades to provide a comprehensive threat prevention solution on a single gateway.

Antivirus Software Blade

Modern malware is evolving at an extremely rapid pace – in fact, a new malware is created nearly every second. Due to the dynamic landscape of ever-growing variants of malware, traditional antivirus solutions are becoming less effective. In addition, companies often fight the same attack separately; global collaboration is needed to efficiently detect and stop emerging threats.

The Check Point Antivirus Software Blade helps you keep your edge against the growing number of threats. Using a continually updated list of antivirus signatures and anomaly-based protections from ThreatCloud™ – the first collaborative network to fight cybercrime – the Antivirus Software Blade detects and stops malware at the gateway before it can affect users.
