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
