With employees working in the office, from home, and points beyond, securing the hybrid workforce requires more than just a VPN replacement in the cloud, or a scattered mix of point solutions. Organizations need a cloud-delivered platform that combines secure access, threat prevention, and AI-driven automation without compromising performance or visibility.
That’s what SASE is supposed to deliver, but not all SASE platforms are created equal.
In its recent AI-Powered Cyber Security Platform Assessment, Miercom evaluated the top cyber security vendors—including Check Point, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Fortinet—across 10 real-world enterprise use cases. Check Point emerged as the leader, earning the highest marks for both security efficacy, admin and user experience, and zero trust implementation.
SASE in 2025: The Stakes Are Higher
With AI-generated threats accelerating and hybrid work here to stay, security teams need a platform that can:
- Enforce zero trust access policies at scale.
- Protect every internet connection from malware and phishing.
- Detect and respond to threats in real time.
- Streamline management across users, locations, and clouds.
Miercom’s assessment confirms that Check Point’s Harmony SASE and Infinity Platform are built for this moment.
How Check Point Stood Out
Miercom evaluated ten enterprise-critical use cases. Here’s where Check Point’s SASE led the pack:
Zero Trust Access and Clientless ZTNA
- Top-rated for enabling secure browser-based access with posture checks, earning Check Point the highest score in the Clientless ZTNA use case.
- Seamless enforcement of least-privilege access across cloud and on-prem apps.
- Streamlined delegated administration with full audit visibility.
Superior Experience for Remote Work
- Fastest global browsing speeds and file downloads in the test.
- Full support for secure, scalable internet access — no user complaints, no blind spots.
- Comprehensive protection across email, mobile, endpoint, and browser.
- Blocked 99% of web-borne threats encountered by remote users in Miercom tests, significantly higher than competitors.
Mobile Threat Defense (MTD)
- Comprehensive detection of rooted/jailbroken devices, malicious apps, and outdated OS vulnerabilities.
- Full visibility and control via a unified admin console.
- Integrated into the broader SASE framework to secure mobile endpoints accessing cloud and corporate resources.
Miercom recognized Check Point’s MTD capabilities as best-in-class, effectively identifying and mitigating risks on unmanaged and BYOD devices. For SASE deployments, mobile threat defense is a crucial component—protecting the devices that connect users to business apps from anywhere.
Unified Security, Simplified Operations
- Highest admin usability score.
- One platform to manage policies, access, alerts, and risk.
- Reduced complexity across distributed environments and toolsets.
