Check Point launches SASE solution

SAN CARLOS, Calif. – Check Point Software Technologies have announced the immediate availability of Quantum SASE, integrating technologies from newly acquired Perimeter 81.

The company said this integrated offering addresses organizations’ needs for a unified user experience, simplified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) management, and a fast, secure browsing experience. It enhances the Check Point’s Infinity architecture with a unified SASE solution offering 2x faster internet security, full mesh Zero Trust Access, and Secured SD-WAN with industry-leading threat prevention.

“As the lines between digital and physical realms become increasingly blurred, businesses need a comprehensive, consolidated, and collaborative security strategy,” said Amit Bareket, VP, Security Service Edge at Check Point Software Technologies. “With Quantum SASE, Check Point stands as the pioneer security partner, offering a Hybrid SASE solution comprised of three pivotal components: on-device network protection, cloud network protection, and a unified security gateway with built-in SD-WAN and IoT security. As organizations navigate the intricacies of hybrid work and cloud integration, Quantum SASE is the very future of secured networking.”

With an increase of hybrid work, enterprises are embracing multiple cloud services, with up to 90% now operating that way according to Check Point, moving from on-premises internet security to internet security delivered in the cloud. “However, in both cases all traffic is redirected into one location for inspection, frustrating users with latency. The Quantum SASE solution solves the internet security latency problem with a hybrid approach that combines on-device protection of direct internet access, with the ability to use cloud inspection when needed. The result is 2x faster internet security when compared with other solutions on the market.” They wrote.
