Quantum Security Gateways™

The new Quantum Security Gateways™ enable enterprises to deploy the industry’s leading threat prevention capabilities at all points of their IT infrastructure, and to scale security almost infinitely according to their changing business needs. All of the gateways deliver a 100% block score for malware prevention for email and web, exploit resistance and post-infection catch rate, as seen in the NSS Labs’ recent Breach Prevention Systems (BPS) Group Test.  They also feature lightning fast SSL-encrypted traffic inspection for maximum security and are Hyperscale-ready, capable of scaling up to 1.6 Tera-bps of Threat Prevention performance.

The range includes:

  • 3600 Quantum Security Gateway for branch offices, offers up to 1500Mbps of threat prevention performance
  • 6200 Quantum Security Gateway for small enterprises, with up to 2500Mbps
  • 6600 / 6900 Quantum Security Gateways for mid-sized enterprises, with up to 7.6 Gbps
  • 16000 Quantum Turbo Hyperscale Gateways for large enterprises with up to 17.6 Gbps accelerating and simplifying management processes.

Our hardware is only as good as our software, and the Fast Track network security suite brings with it the latest unified security release, R80.40 which has over 100 new features to extend threat prevention, block the latest cyber security threats, streamline security administration processes, and enhance IT productivity.

R80.40 Feature Highlight:

Security management delivered from the cloud

If that wasn’t enough, for the first time you can now manage all Check Point products directly using a cloud service. This means R80.40 and future releases are now available as a cloud service via Check Point’s Infinity Portal.  Customers have no upfront efforts, and the solution needs no ongoing maintenance or updates as these are handled automatically. By consolidating all aspects of enterprise security environments seamlessly, R80 gives enterprises full visibility into security across their entire network infrastructure in a customizable visual dashboard, enabling them to manage the most complex environments easily and efficiently directly from their web browser.
