Known malware is dangerous, but the real risk lies in never-before-seen zero day threats that slip past defenses.

For companies adopting the SASE security model, effective threat prevention is non-negotiable. That’s why Check Point delivers industry-leading protection for SASE and SSE environments—especially when it matters most.

Check Point’s Harmony SASE blocks 99% of malware including Zero+1 Day threats, according to a recent Miercom report. Other vendors in the report left significant gaps, with some blocking as little as 74% of threats during testing.

Even a 90% block rate leaves the door open to hundreds of costly attacks, leading to data loss, credential theft, and ransomware. Breaches don’t just cost money, they also erode trust with customers, vendors, and investors.

Maximum protection is especially critical within the first 24 hours of a novel malware campaign. Cyber criminals attempt to infiltrate networks during this window before security systems can recognize and block their attacks. If the new threat isn’t stopped immediately, it can spread, exploit vulnerabilities, and cause irreversible damage such as data breaches or ransomware infections.

For organizations relying on SASE this means one thing: the ability to stop unknown attacks fast to stay secure and avoid a costly breach.

Opportunity Knocks for Malicious Actors

These threats are even harder to contain in today’s perimeter-less world. With employees working remotely—whether from home, airports, or cafés—cyber criminals exploit gaps in security to launch their attacks using new threats.

Miercom tested for just this type of scenario using sets of hundreds of malware-laden files like DOCX, XSLX, PDFs, PowerShell scripts, Bash scripts, and EXE files. Based on the security testing firm’s findings, Harmony SASE’s Firewall-as-a-Service will keep your distributed workforce protected.

Your IT team, meanwhile, can focus their attention on higher priority concerns such as strategic projects, compliance, and proactive defense. The alternative is saddling IT teams with lower performing solutions that lead to reduced security effectiveness and an overload of security alerts and false positives.

It’s essential to avoid solutions that require constant tuning, policy updates, or manual intervention. This can quickly devolve into users being unable to operate as their devices succumb to infection, and IT teams become firefighters constantly putting out blazes.
