Check Point Software Technologies Launches Quantum Spark 1900 & 2000: Advanced Cyber security for SMBs
January 31 2024 - 10:00PM
CPX APAC – Check Point®
Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading
AI-powered, cloud-delivered cyber security platform
provider, announces the launch of Check Point Quantum Spark
1900 and 2000, the latest additions to its next-generation firewall
series for small and medium business (SMBs). These advanced
security gateways are specifically engineered to protect SMBs from
ever-evolving cyber threats. The new Quantum Spark security
gateways offer high-performance network security at scale with
zero-touch provisioning, advanced cloud management, and automated
threat management capabilities, making them ideal for medium-sized
businesses.
In today's digital age, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)
are increasingly challenged by cyber security threats. Despite
their significant contribution to the global economy, these
businesses often grapple with limited IT capabilities and budgets,
leaving them exposed to advanced cyberattacks like malware,
phishing, and ransomware. Although aware of these escalating risks
and dedicating more funds to security, many SMBs remain
inadequately protected, with only a fraction adopting enhanced
security measures and training. To address these challenges, a
growing number of SMBs are turning to Managed Service Providers
(MSPs) for comprehensive, tailored cyber security solutions. By
2025, MSPs are expected to represent 40% of SMB cyber security
expenditures, highlighting their crucial role in safeguarding these
businesses.
Shahar Divon, Global Head of MSSP and SMB at Check Point
Software Technologies, emphasizes, “The increasing reliance on MSPs
as primary market conduits is a response to the growing necessity
for end-to-end management of intricate software stacks and the
advancement of digital initiatives. At Check Point, our Quantum
Spark next-generation firewalls are specifically designed to
safeguard data and systems against cyber-attacks, ensuring secure
and efficient access. These gateways not only promise secure
expansion in user numbers, transaction volumes, and data but also
aid in reducing costs while supporting remote workforces,
encouraging cloud adoption, and enabling digital
transformation.”
The full line of gateways allows supporting businesses ranging
from one all the way to 1,000 employees. They provide SMBs with a
powerful combination of AI-powered threat prevention, easy
management, and scalability, particularly important as many SMBs
struggle with limited cyber security resources and expertise. The
introduction of these new products aims to empower SMBs to protect
their operations effectively and with confidence, amidst the
complexities of the current cyber threat environment.
Quantum Spark™ Gateway 1900 and 2000 users benefit from:
- Accelerated Threat Prevention Performance:
AI/ML powered security gateways for heightened defense against
cyber threats, significantly boosting threat prevention by over 2x
and displaying an impressive 99.8% block rate against phishing,
malware, DNS, and IoT (Internet of Things) attacks. Enhance network
resilience, efficiency and flexibility with integrated switches and
a dual power supply that eliminates the need for external switches
and maximizes operations with minimal downtime.
- Integrated Cloud Security Services & Network
Connectivity: Revolutionary security software with
top-tier reliability, seamless user experience, and augmented
capabilities like IoT security, SD-WAN, and more.
- Consolidated Cloud Management for MSPs:
Advanced cloud management capabilities for MSPs, now featuring a
network operational view that enables streamlined automation of
threat management for customers. Our consolidated security
operations have further streamlined management for MSPs serving
SMBs, with a centralized hub for customer services, licenses, and
proactive security monitoring made accessible through a unified
dashboard.
"As cyber threats like phishing and ransomware increase, SMBs
face more security challenges without the IT expertise and
resources needed to defend themselves. Check Point's new
Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 network security gateways provide SMBs
with AI-Powered threat prevention, automated security for SD-WAN
and IoT, and unified security management that is easy to deploy and
use,” said Pete Finalle Security Research Manager at IDC. “Given
their limitations, many SMBs are turning to managed service
providers (MSPs) for security solutions. Check Point empowers MSPs
to support SMBs with comprehensive security, remote streamlined
management and zero touch deployment, reducing the need for onsite
IT staff.”
