Check Point Software’s Infinity Architecture is the industry’s first consolidated security architecture spanning networks, cloud, endpoint, mobile and IoT, providing the highest level of threat prevention against both known and unknown cyber threats. At the heart of Check Point’s threat prevention capabilities lies ThreatCloud, the world’s most powerful threat intelligence network.
The continuous recognition for Check Point Software’s Network Firewall products is driven by:
- Advanced security architecture and innovative roadmap: To name a few, these include Check Point’s Maestro Hyperscale security solution that provides fast, on-demand cloud-like scaling of organizations’ on-premises security gateways, intelligently orchestrating existing resources and providing redundancy, as well as autonomous threat prevention, which offers administrators set-and-forget policies and security settings that are continually optimized in the background.

Its comprehensive security architecture swiftly manages entire IT infrastructures: Quantum for on-prem networks, Check Point CloudGuard for public clouds (Azure, AWS, GCP etc.) and Harmony Connect, Check Point’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, to secure the remote workforce
- Unparalleled customer satisfaction: This year Check Point Software customer satisfaction was commended in GartnerPeer Insights reviews for Network Firewalls. This is a reflection of Check Point’s uncompromised commitment to high quality products, service and support.

Check Point Harmony Connect SASE offers the only prevention-focused SASE solution with a 100% catch rate for malware threats, enabling enterprises to prevent and block even the most advanced attacks, before they can disrupt business. Some of the key features include Firewall-as-a-service, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and a cloud-delivered Secure Web Gateway (SWG).
