The 2025 IDC MarketScape Report for Worldwide Enterprise Hybrid Firewalls, has named Check Point a Leader. We believe this recognition reflects the maturity of our Hybrid Mesh Firewall capabilities and the focus we’ve placed on unifying, automating and simplifying security operations at scale.
This report offers critical insights into the firewall market, which totaled $12.3 billion in 2024 according to IDC’s latest tracker data.
Modern enterprise networks are hyperconnected and more widespread than ever, extending the boundary and increasing vulnerability across various points. With systems often isolated and threats evolving rapidly, CISOs and security teams face significant challenges in addressing vulnerabilities and outpacing attackers. To address this challenge, Check Point’s Hybrid Mesh Network Security provides AI-powered real-time threat prevention, reliable zero trust security, and unified management for today’s distributed networks. This is key as Check Point’s 2025 Security Report found that cyber attacks increased 44% this year, demonstrating the need for consistent security that addresses the expanded attack landscape.
“Around the world, governments and organizations trust our AI-driven Infinity platform to protect what matters most,” said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point Software. “We believe being named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Enterprise Hybrid Firewall reflects our commitment to redefining cyber security. Our open architecture helps teams customize and manage multi-vendor environments, closing security gaps with intelligent automation for stronger protection.”
Securing the Hyperconnected Enterprise
The IDC MarketScape report considered both capabilities and strategies to assess alignment with current and future customer needs. The report notes, “Check Point provides one of the most complete network security portfolios, thanks to its acquisition of Perimeter 81 in late 2023, Cyberint in August 2024, and Veriti in May 2025. This has resulted in a highly integrated firewall platform with over 250 in-house integrations throughout its vast portfolio of products and capabilities.”
According to the IDC MarketScape, “Check Point offers excellent flexibility within its firewall platform, whether the buyer is looking for small, highly integrated firewalls for their distributed branch offices or a highly scalable/flexible platform for large datacenter applications. This makes Check Point a safe bet for the majority of firewall buyers, and its performance to dollar proposition places the company in a competitive position within the high-end firewall market.”
We believe Check Point is differentiated by the following:
- Unified Policy and Simplified Management: Check Point performs strongly in firewall rule/policy management and offers complete policy portability across all firewall form factors, which can simplify the deployment and management of its firewalls.
- Open Platform: Check Point distinguishes itself by delivering scalable, high-performance security solutions that feature open, modular architecture with 250+ integrations, enabling multi-vendor security stacks with built-in automation and collaborative defenses. Check Point’s robust platform is supported by recent strategic acquisitions of Perimeter 81 for SASE, Cyberint for external risk management, and Veriti for pre-emptive exposure management.
- Strong Choice for Distributed Enterprises and SMBs: Check Point performs well in the market in terms of variety of firewall hardware configurations offered, with multiple models supporting landline modems, Wi-Fi, cellular/dual SIM, and ruggedized chassis.
- Unique flexibility, scalability, and expansion capabilities: On the high end of the enterprise market, Check Point’s patented Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator offers enterprises the unique ability to easily expand security capacity to meet any network demand.
- Strong Carrier Grade and Operational Technology (OT) Security: Provides carrier grade and OT network security for enterprise data centers needing both high availability and high performance, including manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, energy, and critical infrastructure.
Check Point’s Strategy: Unifying Hyperconnected Security for Consistent Protection Across the Network
Check Point’s strategy follows an architecture-wide commitment that requires simplicity, unification, and visibility. Our platform approach addresses the challenges of hybrid networks: security teams need to overcome challenges of siloed systems and multi-vendor environments to close security gaps and reduce management complexity.
In the modern hybrid ecosystem, manual administration has become unsustainable for maintaining operations and Zero Trust. Check Point is leveraging AI agents to streamline management, infrastructure monitoring, and proactive threat prevention. Our AI-Powered management solutions provide unified visibility and orchestration across the enterprise, empowering teams to adapt to new environments, conditions, and threats in real time.
At Check Point, our mission remains clear: to empower enterprises with prevention-first security that stops threats before they spread.
