Solution Brief | Check Point Firewall + SASE
Check Point SASE pairs with your firewalls to secure remote users, web, SaaS, and branch sites with enforcement near the user, managed from a unified platform.

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

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
