Check Point is delighted to announce that the IoT security team has successfully registered a patent for its technology that uniquely profiles network-connected IoT devices into groups/zones while creating autonomous policies for the profiled IoT devices. This achievement represents a significant milestone in our growth and demonstrates our commitment to advancing the industry for the overall goal of innovation and delivering exceptional value to our customers.
Modern networks often host dozens of devices that communicate both inside and outside of the network, increasing the number of network accessible devices; consequently, introducing more targets for malware attacks. Infected devices gain the ability to communicate with different devices both inside and outside the network to create a chain reaction of malware infections, potentially leading to a widespread and devastating cyberattack. This highlights the importance of implementing innovative security technologies that move faster than the speed of advancing cyberthreats and cyberattacks.
Check Point Software Technologies provides organizations with cybersecurity solutions that are designed to protect against cyberattacks like malware, ransomware, phishing, and more, with a prevention-first approach. The solutions span network security, IoT security, endpoint security, cloud security, mobile security, data security, and security management.
The technology mentioned above relates specifically to Check Point’s recently announced product, Quantum IoT Protect. It exists as a subscription service within Check Point’s Quantum ‘Titan’ release R81.20. With the technology outlined in this patent, organizations can discover and protect its IoT assets in just minutes. Check Point is the only vendor that provides autonomous protection against network IoT-related attacks. The solution automatically creates and autonomously enforces zero-trust network access profiles for IoT assets, protecting them against known and unknown cyber threats.
