Quantum Smart-1 Appliances Accelerate Security Management

The new 700/7000 series of Quantum Smart-1 Security Management appliances are an ideal upgrade from the predecessor 600/6000 series because they offer a major increase in performance:

  • Greater on-demand scalability with support for up to 1,500 gateways or 10,000 gateways in a multi-domain configuration.
  • Accelerated performance with up to 70% higher log rate.
  • Greater log storage capacity with up to 70TB of NVMe storage (non-volatile memory express).

These high-performance appliances augment Check Point’s latest AI-powered advancements, designed to enhance security and radically simplify operations of fragmented, hybrid environments. The recently announced Premium and Complete AI-Powered Security Management packages elevate security management to a new level:

Tackling new challenges in Hybrid Security Management

As demands on security teams grow, their management infrastructure must keep up. This is particularly challenging given the hybrid nature of today’s digital environments. Decentralized work environments, branch offices, and distributed teams have led to unprecedented levels of complexity and larger attack surfaces. Managing these hybrid systems holds operational and security challenges including:

  • Higher volumes of corporate traffic: Securing the increasing bandwidth demands of corporate networks requires advanced throughput and improved logging ability.
  • Fragmented security systems: Teams are weighed down by lack of cohesive visibility and manual management of multiple systems, leading to security gaps and the inability for already stretched teams to keep up in the absence of advanced automation and orchestration.
  • Faster, more agile development: Security teams are often a bottleneck, impeding competitiveness and agility in cloud and hybrid environments.
  • Security gaps: Hybrid environments with multiple tools and stakeholders are prone to policy and security vulnerabilities, requiring advanced measures to tighten zero trust and compliance.
Comprehensive AI-Powered Security Management Software

Check Point’s AI-Powered Security Management solutions solve these challenges, offering centralized operations, collaborative administration, automation, and more.

  • High-performance security management: Check Point offers industry-leading throughput, enabling faster processing speeds and advanced logging abilities. Teams can now solve issues faster – with AI-powered preventive infrastructure monitoring and alerting (AIOps) and a generative AI assistant to investigate issues immediately and apply updates with a click (AI Copilot).

Users leverage automated customizable reports for full threat visibility with a single view into security risks. This enables enterprises to immediately take control of security events through real-time forensic and event investigation, compliance, and reporting.

  • Improved automation and orchestration: Automate cross-product workflows with our open garden approach that fully integrates your current infrastructure, including 3rd party security vendors, identity providers, XDR products, and common ticketing tools (Available with the Premium Add-On Package). Smart-1 also enables multiple administrators to work safely within the console at the same time for risk-free collaboration and concurrent admin support across the entire enterprise.
  • Maintain agility for hybrid environments: Manage security in the cloud or on-prem with near feature parity, retaining the same user experience and capabilities across deployment models, including Smart-1 appliances, Smart-1 Cloud and Quantum security management software, which can be deployed on a user’s own physical or virtual appliances.

The underlying Smart-1 software maximizes development agility by empowering security automation by DevOps in hybrid and cloud environments using a dynamic self-service layer and offering the ability to automatically import objects from public clouds.

  • Tighter zero trust and compliance: Unified identity management and security policies eliminate security vulnerabilities for robust zero trust and compliance (available with the Premium or Complete upgrades). Multi-domain management enhances security by segmenting policies into virtual domains, allowing for tailored policies, multi-tier and isolated role-based administration.
