Firewalls for the AI Era​

Check Point firewalls use advanced AI and machine learning to deliver automated threat prevention. This includes real-time detection and mitigation of known and unknown attacks, reducing manual intervention and improving security efficiency.

Based on multiple independent multi-vendor lab evaluations using live malware, phishing, and intrusion attacks, Check Point delivers the industry’s highest block rates against zero day and advanced attacks. Miercom labs rated Check Point as delivering the #1 block rate across their extensive testing, including 99.9% malware block rate and 99.7% Phishing block rate. Check Point also achieved the highest security effectiveness score from extensive multi-vendor benchmark testing by NSS Labs. Check Point delivered an outstanding 99.59% overall security effectiveness rating from NSS Labs, including 99.91% exploit coverage and complete protection from evasion strategies.
To maintain maximum threat prevention, Check Point gateways and firewalls also include Check Point’s zero day (SandBlast) protection, with advanced integrated threat emulation and sandboxing to catch and extract the most sophisticated zero-day attacks hidden in downloaded files and documents before they reach your network.

Furthermore, Check Point has maintained an outstanding track record of having highest firewall operating system integrity against being hacked. A customer’s firewall should always be the single strongest link in their network, and the least susceptible to being breached.
The single best measure of firewall resilience against being hacked and its OS quality is the total number of KEVs (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) it has experience in the real world. KEVs are actively tracked by CISA (Cyber Security Infrastructure & Security Agency) which is the authoritative source of this data across all networking product vendors. Everyone can access CISA KEV Catalog to look up a vendor or compare all security products in a visualization tool https://kev.threatline.io/ Check Point had only a single KEV in the same period that its peers that have had 10X – 25X KEVs in the same period.

Firewall operating systems with frequently exploited vulnerabilities trigger a cascade of unplanned costs and operational pain including emergency firewall patches, expensive security team overtime, compliance reviews, business disruption, and compromised networks and IT systems.

Yes. Check Point firewalls are designed for extremely high-performance environments, offering carrier-class 99.999% uptime, multi-terabit per second throughputs, ultra-low sub-2 microsecond latency, and auto-scalability to keep up with unexpected traffic spikes. Check Point secures the most demanding enterprises and data centers around the world.

Check Point on-premises and cloud network security goes beyond traditional firewalls by providing:

• Integrated AI Security to ensure the safe use of Generative AI tools (like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) within organizations. This also identifies and secures MCP (Model Context Protocol) traffic and servers. This enables enterprises of all sizes to safely and responsibly deploy AI tools in their network environments and IT systems.
• Advanced security services including intrusion prevention, application control, and zero-day protection, including blocking threats hiding in encrypted HTTP web traffic.
  AI-powered threat prevention with real-time threat intelligence that delivers instant threat updates to customers around the world
• Unified policy management across on-premises, cloud, and remote sites

Hybrid Mesh Network Security enables consistent, unified security across physical, virtual, cloud, and remote environments. It simplifies management with a single console, reduces complexity, and ensures comprehensive protection everywhere your data, systems, and employees reside. Hybrid Mesh Network Security provides the three core firewall form factors required in most enterprises: On-premises hardware appliance-based firewalls, cloud network firewalls, and SASE (Secure access Services Edge), a cloud-based platform to support remote employees and systems with highly flexible and secure private/corporate access, and secure high speed public internet access.
