Datasheet | Firewall-as-a-Subscription
Firewall-as-a-Subscription delivers enterprise firewall security with predictable monthly payments, no upfront investment, and the flexibility to scale as needs change.

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migration effort keeps teams on outdated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
