Solution Brief | Check Point Firewall + SASE

Check Point Firewalls + SASE

The ultimate network security duo — consistent

protection from any user to any resource.

Overview

Check Point is a recognized leader in next-generation firewall (NGFW) security, trusted to protect the data center and the network perimeter. But the perimeter is no longer where work happens. People work from

anywhere, in the browser, across SaaS apps, and

increasingly alongside GenAI tools. Data, identities, and unmanaged devices now sit well beyond the firewall's reach.

Check Point SASE extends the protection you

already trust everywhere your people work. It

pairs with your Check Point firewalls, so one

platform secures the traditional office and the decentralized organization, without backhauling

every connection or adding a separate stack to

manage.

Together, they deliver consistent security and

performance from any user to any resource,

on-premises or in the cloud. Enforcement happens close to the user, policy stays

consistent, and your team runs it from the platform they already know.

Securing remote access

Remote workers access company resources,

whether on-prem or in the cloud, by connecting

to the company network. An appliance-only

approach for connections means remote workers must backhaul their traffic to

the closest company branch or data center.

This location may be just around the corner or

half a world away, potentially reducing

connection speeds and productivity. Add to that

traffic congestion during peak periods,

negatively impacting performance even further,

and it’s a recipe for a high number of trouble tickets complaining about sluggish speeds.

Check Point SASE Private Access optimizes connectivity for distributed workforces:

Zero Trust Network Access: Enforce

least-privilege, application-level access based on

user identity and device posture

Faster Connection Speeds: Our

global private backbone bypasses the

public internet providing faster connections for your workforce

Global Reach: With more than 85

points of presence (PoPs) worldwide,

every remote connection becomes

local, minimizing delays and improving connection speeds

Secure Access for Unmanaged

Devices: Agentless, application-by-application access for unmanaged devices, with Enterprise Browser adding isolated

browsing, DLP, and session recording

Fast, secure internet

In addition to corporate resources, remote workers need to use the web for SaaS

applications, research, AI tools, and more. But

they must do this securely, and IT teams need

visibility into their traffic and AI usage to mitigate potential threats and prevent sensitive data exposure.

As users increasingly access the internet

directly from wherever they work, security must move beyond the traditional network perimeter. Check Point SASE complements Check Point

Firewalls with a hybrid on-device and cloud

architecture, bringing security closer to users while delivering high performance and a consistent security posture.

Check Point SASE uses a hybrid approach to deliver enhanced security and performance for web-based activities:

Hybrid Architecture: On-device and

cloud components mean 10x faster

internet performance compared to competitors

Direct Internet Access: Connect

users directly to the internet, avoiding the need to reroute traffic through physical company sites

Prevention-First Security: Stop known and unknown threats before

they impact users through AI-powered ThreatCloud AI intelligence, SSL inspection, web and DNS filtering, and malware prevention

Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Detect

and prevent sensitive data exposure

during web uploads and downloads

using AI-powered classification

across 800+ predefined and custom

data types

Workforce AI Security: Discover sanctioned and shadow AI

applications, detect and prevent

sensitive data in AI prompts and

uploads, and enforce browser-level

policies for secure AI usage

Advanced In-Browser

Protections: File sanitization and

safe search help protect users from

malicious content during web activity

SD-WAN: Improved connectivity for business sites such as offices

and warehouses with optimized routing for more than 10,000 business applications and subsecond WAN link failover

Unified Internet Access

Policy: Define Internet Access

policies once and enforce them

consistently across Check Point Firewalls and Check Point SASE,

reducing policy drift and operational complexity

CASB: securing the SaaS ecosystem

Software-as-a-Service platforms such as Salesforce and Office 365 bring immense

flexibility and operational efficiency; however,

they also introduce significant security challenges that cannot be ignored.

Check Point CASB combines inline SaaS Security and API-based SaaS Security to deliver unified visibility, control, and protection across the SaaS ecosystem:

Full SaaS Ecosystem Visibility:

Gain a complete view of your SaaS

environment, including Shadow SaaS

applications, APIs, plugins, SaaS-to-SaaS connections, and third-party integrations

Automated Threat Prevention:

Detect and prevent account takeover,

malware, file poisoning, data theft, and other SaaS attack vectors

Application Control: Control access to sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS

applications with granular allow, block, and policy enforcement

capabilities

SaaS Security Posture Management

(SSPM): Continuously identify SaaS

misconfigurations, risky settings, and policy gaps, including API and service deprecation warnings

Tenant Restriction: Restrict users to

sanctioned SaaS tenants, preventing

access to personal or unauthorized

instances and reducing the risk of

data leakage and account misuse

Compliance Dashboard: In a single

view, get a comprehensive

understanding of potential SaaS

compliance issues such as weak

authentication or malicious activity

AI-Powered SaaS DLP: Protect

sensitive data at rest and in

motion with AI-powered data classification and both inline and

API-based DLP enforcement

across SaaS applications

SaaS Supply Chain Security: Discover

and assess connected third-party

SaaS applications, APIs, plugins, and

integrations to identify risky or compromised trust relationships before they expose corporate data

Unified SaaS Security: Manage inline

controls, API-based protection, SSPM, DLP, and SaaS Supply Chain Security through a single management platform
