Uncompromising Performance A prevalent issue affecting both small businesses (SBs) and midsize businesses (MBs) in the realm of firewalls is related to hardware performance. Frequently, the bandwidth claims made by vendors prove inadequate when subjected to real-world scenarios. Consequently, as Internet speeds deteriorate, security services are sometimes disabled to offset the impact. Unfortunately, this opens the door to potential Internet attacks. Check Point security gateways tailored for both small and midsize businesses offer unmatched security without the performance setbacks observed in other firewall solutions. Whether for SBs or MBs, businesses can uphold optimal Internet performance without compromising key security features.
Security Without Complexity In today's landscape, SMBs require robust defense mechanisms against sophisticated cyber- attacks and zero-day threats. Check Point addresses the security needs of both small and midsize businesses, providing access to the same level of protection utilized by large enterprises and Fortune 100 companies. Our security gateways for SMBs seamlessly integrate next-generation threat prevention features, including firewall, VPN, antivirus, anti-bot, application visibility and control, URL filtering, email security, and SandBlast Zero-Day Protection (sandboxing). This comprehensive suite is delivered in a simplified, user-friendly, and easily manageable package tailored to the unique requirements of both SBs and MBs.

Comprehensive Threat Prevention The rapid growth of malware, growing attacker sophistication and the rise of new unknown zero-day threats requires a different approach to keep networks and data secure. Check Point delivers fully integrated, comprehensive Threat Prevention to combat these emerging threats while reducing complexities and increasing operational efficiencies. The Check Point Threat Prevention solution includes powerful security features such as firewall, IPS, Anti-Bot, Antivirus, Application Control, and URL Filtering to combat known cyberattacks and threats – now enhanced with the award- winning SandBlast™ Threat Emulation for complete protection against the most sophisticated threats and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Prevent Known and Zero-Day Threats As part of the Check Point SandBlast Zero-Day Protection solution, the cloud-based Threat Emulation engine detects malware at the exploit phase, even before hackers can apply evasion techniques attempting to bypass the sandbox. Files are quickly quarantined and inspected, running in a virtual sandbox to discover malicious behavior before it enters your network. This innovative solution combines cloud-based CPU-level inspection and OS-level sandboxing to prevent infection from the most dangerous exploits, and zero-day and targeted attacks.

Overview Enforcing consistent network security is challenging for small to mid-size businesses where there are few users with little to no IT expertise. Small to mid-size business offices require the same level of protection from sophisticated cyber-attacks and zero-day threats that is available in larger enterprise offices. The Check Point Quantum Spark 1600 and 1800 security gateways deliver enterprise-grade security in simple, affordable, all-in-one security solutions in a 1 Rack Unit (RU) form factor to protect small to mid-size business employees, networks, and data from cyber-theft. High threat prevention throughput and high port capacity with 2.5 and 10 GbE network interfaces in the 1800 make these NGFWs ideal for larger branch and SMB networks.

Quantum Spark 1900
QUANTUM SPARK 1900, 2000 Enterprise-Level Security for SMBs
Overview As the spectrum of cyber security threats widens, spanning from ransomware attacks to data breaches, cybercriminals are increasingly demonstrating greater adaptability. Traditional cybersecurity solutions fall short in delivering the comprehensive, automated, easy to use security protection demanded by SMBs. On the higher end, midsize businesses encounter security gaps that expose them to cyber risks, along with the need for streamlined performance of critical online applications due to the growing number of employees, devices, and customers. Check Point Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 security gateways deliver over 2x more threat prevention performance up to 6.5 Gbps with a 99.7% block rate of advanced cyberattacks. Businesses can simplify their network with integrated switching, eliminating the need for external switches, and enhance resilience with a dual power supply and a high availability mode. The Spark 1900 and 2000 offers top-tier reliability, a seamless user experience, and innovative features like IoT threat prevention and Smart SD-WAN (for optimized application performance). Designed with MSPs in mind, advanced cloud management ensures streamlined operations, a centralized security hub, and proactive monitoring, enabling MSPs to provide unparalleled threat management for SMBs.
1900, 2000 Gateway Highlights The 1900 and 2000 come with a high-port capacity of sixteen (16) 1GbE, two (2) 2.5GbE, and four (4) 10GbE network interfaces, making these ideal for larger branch and MB networks. In addition, the 1GbE copper or fiber WAN and DMZ ports offer connection flexibility (the DMZ can also be used as a secondary WAN port).

Integrated Cloud Security Services & Network Connectivity
Note: Spark appliances offer SD-WAN Local Breakout capabilities when managed through the local web UI or Spark Management Infinity portal application service. These capabilities come without the need for additional licensing. When managed through a Smart Management server or the Smart-1 Cloud Infinity Portal services, they can leverage both SD-WAN Local Breakout and VPN Overlay. However, it's important to note that additional Quantum SD-WAN licensing is required in this specific use case.
