Check Point Firewall-as-a-Subscription  Strong Security. No Upfront Bill.

2 to 63 Gbps of AI-Powered Threat Prevention  •  Four Tiers  •  3 or 5 Year Subscription  •  Annual

or Monthly Billing

Firewall-as-a-Subscription turns a large upfront hardware purchase into one predictable payment. We carry the capital expenditure

(CapEx), so you can secure your network now. Start with the throughput you need today, and scale as you grow. Every tier includes a

99.9% block rate* against zero-day attacks, cloud management, 24×7 premium support, and policy migration, all in one subscription.

Why Security Can’t

Wait for CapEx

What the Subscription

Model Changes

CapEx blocks security : Rising borrowing costs

make large upfront hardware purchases harder

to fund. Capital approvals and depreciation

paperwork slow every project down.

Oversizing: Teams buy 3× the firewall they need

today to cover future growth. You pay now for

capacity you won’t use for years.

Stuck with an old firewall: Migrating from

another vendor’s firewall is a barrier. Policy

migration effort keeps teams on outdated

protection.

Security can’t wait: Attacks keep coming while

budgets wait for approval.

D on’t let CapEx block your security: One predictable monthly

or annual payment instead of a hardware purchase. We carry

the CapEx. Built for operating expense (OpEx) budgets, with no

depreciation paperwork and no long budget cycle.

Stop buying 3× the firewall you need: Start with the throughput

you need today, and scale as you grow. Upgrades within your

tier are license-only, with no hardware replacement.

Leave your old firewall behind: 150 Check Point Global

Services Flex Credits cover policy migration from another

vendor’s firewall.

Strong security. No upfront bill: AI-powered threat prevention

with a 99.9% block rate* against zero-day attacks. Pay monthly

or annually.

Who It’s For

O rganizations that want to avoid a large upfront firewall purchase

Companies and industries that prefer OpEx

Organizations facing a firewall refresh, capacity expansion, or vendor switch

Small and midsize organizations, from a few hundred to a few thousand employees
