Description
Suppose you’re in a real zero-trust, high-traffic environment. You have multiple roaming users where not only east west but north south traffic is huge. You’re required to monitor every traffic flow, in multiple branch offices. They must be able to connect centrally, all the while being easy to monitor. Oh, and you need to be able to defend against newly-created attacks. Are your demands starting to outgrow the capabilities of a desktop, SMB firewall? Not if it’s the Check Point 1590 Next Generation firewall!
It’s important to understand that Check Point’s focus is on prevention rather than detection. In other words, blocking known and unknown cyber-attacks to ensure business continuity.
Their Advanced Threat Prevention is packaged with zero-day protection and next-generation firewall technologies. It includes application control, advanced URL filtering, IPS, antivirus, anti-bot. In addition, there’s email security, policy management, monitoring and event management.

The downside to plug-and-play firewalls is that sometimes they are less configurable. And it really just comes down to what your organization needs.
