"Zero-day treats protection"

4/5

What do you like best about Check Point SandBlast Advanced Network Threat Prevention?

1. High rate of catching the zero-day advanced threats (I suppose due to the integrated AI-engine).

2. The Threat Extraction feature, when the suspicious document is converted to the other type/extension, which is harmless, like doc to pdf.

3. Very easy processes of the software blade activation and configuration.

4. In addition, Check Point SandBlast Network provides the protection against the phishing emails.

5. Good logging and reporting capabilities, on the level of other Check Point products.

6. Built-in compliance checks, with a reasonable set of the default regulations provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Check Point SandBlast Advanced Network Threat Prevention?

Some users report the poor performance of the software, but I believe that is valid for every enpoint security solution with a rich set of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Check Point SandBlast Advanced Network Threat Prevention solving and how is that benefiting you?

The overall security of the environment has been greatly improved by the Check Point NGFWs with the SandBlast Network blade activated. Before implementing the Check Point solutions, we relied on the Cisco ACLs and Zone-Based firewalls configured on the switches and routers, which in fact a simple stateful firewall, and currently appear to be not an efficient solution for protecting from the advanced threats. The Check Point SandBlast Network software blade has increased the protection of our environment by enabling the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction features. The first feature performs the sandboxing of the suspicious file types (over 70 file types may be emulated) in the Windows and MacOS virtual machines. The second feature works faster by just converting the files to the clean file of the PDF format thus deleting potentially dangerous Macroses, JavaScript Actions etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
