Check Point SandBlast Mobile Receives Miercom’s Certified Secure Award
May 19 2017 - 9:00AM
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP) today
announced Check Point SandBlast Mobile received Miercom’s Certified
Secure Award in the first independent, mobile threat defense test
recently conducted by the independent testing firm. This is
Miercom’s highest award for achievement in competitive, hands-on
testing. The results highlight SandBlast Mobile’s leadership and
excellence in security and usability over other mobile threat
defense competitors.
Mobile devices are the de facto standard in business today,
storing and providing access to critical business
information. But they also introduce an additional threat
vector to enterprises, so they must be protected. The Miercom
MTD Industry Assessment measured the ability to detect modern
hacking techniques targeting both Android and iOS-based mobile
devices. Specifically, the test measured product ability to
detect, block and respond to:
- Malicious malware and applications which give
hackers the ability to manipulate and access as a mock user
- Network attack vulnerabilities such as
man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks that can monitor and extract data,
even from encrypted communications
- Mobile device vulnerabilities such as
root-accessible smartphones and outdated firmware
Highlights of Check Point SandBlast Mobile’s results
include:
- Detected and blocked 100 percent of malicious applications and
network attacks
- Delivered 33 percent better protection against network attacks
than the industry average – most notably against MitM
authentication-based threats
- Detected 20 percent more Android and iOS device vulnerabilities
than the average MTD solution
- Mitigated all device vulnerabilities, regardless of operating
system
"Check Point SandBlast Mobile performed the best overall in the
Miercom Industry Assessment of Mobile Threat Defense (MTD)
products,” said Rob Smithers, Miercom CEO. “SandBlast Mobile
undeniably proved its effectiveness in the enterprise against
threats borne via company mobile devices and BYOD vector
threats."
“We saw in a recent survey conducted by Dimensional Research
that 94 percent of cyber security professionals expect the
frequency of mobile attacks to increase,” said Michael Shaulov,
head of mobile and cloud products at Check Point. “The Miercom
industry assessment demonstrates that SandBlast Mobile detects and
blocks the most sophisticated hacks better than all our
competitors, and provides the protection that every mobile
enterprise requires.”
