Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP) has announced the launch of its next-generation Quantum Smart-1 Management Appliances. The company is a global leader in cybersecurity solutions.
The new appliances deliver a 2X increase in managed gateways. They also offer up to 70% higher log processing speeds. These improvements are designed to meet the complex demands of hybrid enterprises.
Check Point revealed that the appliances are fully integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform. This integration enhances threat detection and response using a hybrid mesh architecture. It also supports connections with over 250 third-party solutions.
Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point, stated that security teams are under pressure from AI-generated threats and fragmented infrastructures. She said the new appliances simplify these challenges through AI, automation, and precision.
The rise of remote work and distributed teams has increased vulnerabilities. Check Point Research reported that AI services are now used in over 51% of enterprise networks each month. This growth widens security risks, making advanced security policies essential.
According to Check Point, the Quantum Smart-1 Management Appliances help security teams operate faster and smarter across on-premises, cloud, and remote environments.
Key features include: Managing up to 10,000 gateways, enabling scale without rearchitecting.
Achieving up to 70% higher log speeds for faster threat response.
Storing up to 70TB of logs locally to meet compliance needs.
The appliances unify security operations and reduce complexity in hybrid environments. They are available in five models, including the high-performance 7000 Ultra.
Check Point confirmed that the new models support tools like Infinity AI Copilot, Playblocks, Policy Advisor, Compliance, and Infinity AIOps. These tools streamline policy and firewall management.
Miercom recently named Check Point the top performer in its AI-Powered Cyber Security Platform Benchmark. The report recognized Check Point's superior management usability and threat prevention.
Rob Smithers, CEO of Miercom, said Check Point's Infinity Platform outperformed its peers. He added that its AI-driven design and hybrid mesh model set a new standard in cybersecurity.
Check Point continues to advance cybersecurity with AI-powered solutions tailored for modern enterprise needs.
