Check Point SandBlast Agent Earns NSS Labs ‘AA’ Rating in 2020 Advanced Endpoint Protection Test
February 25 2020 - 12:20PM
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading
provider of cyber security solutions globally, today announced that
its Check Point SandBlast Agent advanced endpoint protection and
threat prevention solution achieved an ‘AA’ rating in the recent
NSS Labs 2020 Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) Test.
NSS Labs, a globally recognized and trusted source for
independent, fact-based cybersecurity testing, gave the ‘AA’ rating
to SandBlast Agent – no ‘AAA’ were awarded in the AEP group test –
which means the solution’s capacity to meet its commitments to
customers is very strong. SandBlast Agent detected 100% of HTTP and
email threats, 100% of malware using sophisticated evasion
techniques, and 100% resistance to evasion.
This represents Check Point’s 21st high rating by NSS Labs since
it began testing Check Point’s solutions in 2010, consistently
validating Check Point’s ability to protect organizations against
the most advanced new cyber-attacks.
“The latest generation of attacks are extremely fast-moving and
evasive across multiple vectors. By the time these attacks are
detected by traditional security products, the damage has already
been done. The NSS test results show that SandBlast Agent blocks
the vast majority of unknown attacks before they can infiltrate
networks, preventing them from causing any damage,” said Itai
Greenberg, VP of Product Management and Marketing, Check Point
Software Technologies. “The NSS ‘AA’ rating for endpoint protection
clearly demonstrates our ability to develop and deliver the most
advanced threat prevention technologies.”
The NSS AEP test report stated the strengths of SandBlast Agent
include:
- Excellent resistance to evasion
- Strong malware and exploit protection
- Performs well against more advanced attacks
- Comprehensive, robust management
- Extremely low false positive rate
