Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading
AI-powered, cloud-delivered cyber security platform provider,
revealed today that its Check Point Infinity Platform has achieved
an outstanding 99.8% block rate on Zero+1 day Malware, and a 100%
phishing prevention score in Miercom’s Next Generation Firewall
(NGFW) Security Benchmark 2024 report. By comparison, the average
new malware block rate for the other four security vendors was
69.2%. Miercom, a leading independent network and security testing
organization, put the industry's top five firewalls through a
series of intense malware and phishing prevention tests to rate the
security efficacy of each product.
“Based on our head-to-head competitive test findings and
observations, we can see that Check Point’s Infinity Platform
excels in all the security efficacy testing categories. Check
Point’s next generation firewall was superior in advanced threat
prevention and offers the best protection against the latest
generation of cyberattacks including Zero+1 Day new Malware. Check
Point did exceptionally well at blocking attacks in the first 24
hours, which is the window of highest risk for enterprises”, said
Rob Smithers, CEO at Miercom.
Smithers also notes that, “Check Point’s industry-leading block
rate enables enterprises to effectively prevent new malware from
entering and spreading across their networks, servers, and
endpoints, saving them time, money, stress, and resources. As a
result, we proudly award Check Point with the Miercom Certified
Secure certification in recognition of their superior competitive
performance and exceptional value.”
“The Check Point Infinity platform continuously sets new threat
prevention benchmarks for the cyber security industry,” said Eyal
Manor, VP of Product Management at Check Point Software. “These
Miercom results validate our exceptional ability to accurately
detect and block new malware, especially against increasingly
sophisticated ransomware tactics. A key differentiator for our
Infinity Platform is the ability to preemptively block zero-day
malicious exploits and malware.”
Miercom’s testing included verifying the effectiveness of
anti-virus, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), anti-bot, URL
Filtering (URFL), sandboxing, machine learning, and phishing
protection.
