Helping MSPs Protect SMBs at Scale Without Complexity
Cyber attacks are hitting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) harder than ever. According to Check Point Research, weekly attacks on SMBs have increased by 61 percent, outpacing trends in large enterprises. As digital transformation accelerates, these businesses need enterprise-grade security and performance, but often without the resources of a full IT team.
Check Point’s new Quantum Spark 2500 series of gateways address this challenge directly. Designed for SMBs and their managed service providers (MSPs), the 2500 series delivers AI-powered threat prevention, next-generation connectivity, and cloud-based, multi-tenant management, all within the Check Point Infinity Platform.
“Our new Quantum Spark series is built with MSPs in mind,” said Francisco Criado, VP of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem at Check Point. “It helps partners reduce complexity, streamline operations, and deliver consistent security across hundreds or even thousands of SMBs.”
Why the 2500 Series Is a Game Changer
- AI-Powered, Prevention-First Security
The 2500 series is powered by ThreatCloud AI and the latest R82 software, offering industry-leading protection against malware, phishing, zero-day exploits, and DNS-based attacks. Built-in virtual patching and zero-phishing technology allow defenses to stay ahead of attackers even before official patches are applied.
- Blocks 99.9 percent of known and unknown threats
- Delivers real-time AI-driven threat prevention
- Provides consistent policy enforcement across customer environments
- Fast, Reliable, and Scalable Connectivity
The gateway connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, dual-SIM 5G, and SD-WAN. These features give SMBs the bandwidth and resilience they need to maintain productivity and cloud access.
- Wi-Fi 7 delivers up to 2.4 times faster wireless performance
- 5G enables high-speed internet, even in remote locations
- SD-WAN and dual ISP ports support seamless failover and high availability
- Built-In Resilience for Always-On Operations
Business continuity is critical for SMBs. That is why the 2500 series includes redundant power supplies, optional high-availability clustering, and dual SIM connectivity to keep operations running smoothly, even during outages or hardware failure.
- Dual ISP and SD-WAN ensure continuous connectivity
- Dual power and failover clustering support maximum uptime
- Designed to prevent downtime across distributed environments
- Streamlined MSP Management Through Infinity Portal
Managing dozens or thousands of SMB customers is easier with the upgraded Spark Management cloud-delivered application, accessed from the Infinity Portal. This platform supports multi-tenant, multi-tiered administration with centralized visibility, proactive alerts, and automation.
- Zero-touch provisioning and template-based configurations reduce setup time
- Unified dashboards to monitor security posture, Wi-Fi, internet connectivity, VPN, licensing and more
- Self-service portals empower SMBs while freeing up MSP resources
Unified Security, Open Ecosystem, Greater Value
The Quantum Spark 2500 series is part of Check Point’s Infinity architecture, which delivers unified, prevention-first security across networks, cloud, endpoints, and mobile. It also supports an open garden ecosystem, allowing MSPs to integrate seamlessly with third-party platforms while avoiding vendor lock-in.
“The new Spark Management and Quantum appliances give us greater control and visibility across customer networks,” said Lee Atkinson, Managing Director at Optix Software Ltd. “It’s a game changer for how we deliver secure, responsive services.”
With integrated tools, consistent policy control, and scalable management, MSPs can simplify operations, improve customer satisfaction, and deliver strategic value that goes beyond infrastructure support.
“Small and medium sized businesses are faced with an increasingly sophisticated threat-landscape, without the resources and dedicated personnel of larger enterprises. While managed service providers (MSPs) can help with deployment and management, they require security tools which solve modern security problems efficiently and effectively,” said Pete Finalle, Research Manager for IDC’s Security and Trust team. “Check Point’s new Quantum Spark 2500 gateways and updated cloud-based security management offer high-performance threat prevention, accelerated connectivity with Wi-Fi 7, 5G, and SD-WAN, and protection for IoT devices. With multi-tier, multi-tenant management and zero-touch provisioning, Check Point is equipping MSPs with purpose-built tools that are ideal for protecting any size SMB from evolving threats.”
