NEW YORK, July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fireglass, the
leader in web isolation, and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
(NASDAQ: CHKP), today announced a new partnership that enables
organizations to protect their users from advanced threats by
completely eliminating attack vectors including browsers, emails
and documents.
"Fireglass complements Check Point Next Generation Firewalls and
SandBlast Zero-Day Protection as its isolation technology
seamlessly and comprehensively integrates with our solutions," said
Alon Kantor, Vice President of
Business Development at Check Point Software. "Integrating Check
Point Next-Generation Firewalls and SandBlast Zero-Day Protection
with the Fireglass Threat Isolation Platform allows our customers
to prevent threats, known or unknown, by deploying a future-proof
solution that leverages the full range of protection provided by
the Check Point Software Blade architecture."
Unlike conventional prevention solutions that attempt to
distinguish good content from bad, Fireglass isolates and executes
all content in a secure remote environment, and
prevents malware, phishing and other advanced threats from
ever reaching users' devices. The Fireglass Threat Isolation
Platform seamlessly integrates with Check Point Next Generation
Firewalls via UserCheck for maximum compatibility and zero
performance impact. It also enables Check Point SandBlast Zero-Day
Protection to scan and sanitize files before they are downloaded
through the browser.
The integration of Fireglass with Check Point Next Generation
Firewalls and SandBlast Zero-Day Protection further allows
customers to direct any portion of web traffic via policy, and
provides a comprehensive security solution that:
- Prevents malware and other modern threats delivered through the
web from infecting users' devices
- Allows access to uncategorized websites safely and without
risk
- Enables access to documents through isolation rather than
through download
- Inspects and removes exploitable content from files before
downloading
- Prevents phishing attacks by blocking submission of credentials
to malicious websites
- Blocks Remote Access Trojans and Command & Control
communication
"The Check Point and Fireglass partnership provides our joint
customers with flexible and seamless deployment options that fit
their existing security architectures," said Guy Guzner, CEO and Co-Founder at Fireglass.
"The combined solution provides enterprises effective real-time
prevention against the ever-changing threat landscape."
