Automated and manual threat analysis provides deep insights for potential threat remediation

The most valuable features of Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer include manual and auto-submission. The sandbox analyzer provides a combination of technologies including machine learning-based technologies. Network analytics is performed, and the tool analyzes using threat feeds.

Comprehensive security solution mitigates advanced threats

Improvements for Check Point SandBlast Network can be seen in dashboard usability; the threat emulation logs and analysis reports could be made more intuitive and visually appealing. Enhancing the system for granular tuning to reduce false positives and allowing benign files to bypass checks more simply for non-expert users would be beneficial. Additionally, faster emulation times could be achieved by increasing file scanning speed through hardware productivity enhancements. A specific instance where file scanning speed posed an issue was when the time taken depended on the file size. Scanning can take less than a minute or up to 2 minutes for larger files. Enhancing the file scanning time would be a significant improvement to the system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The beautiful thing about the GravityZone product group is that you can successfully curate your groups, create time-sensitive policies, apply them, and push reconfiguration so that engine is functioning, tuned, and safe, giving us a speedy reaction time to events."

"We've been running that platform for about five years, and we've not really had any viruses or malware get through."

"Sandbox Analyzer is easy to use. It's simple to drill down into the data. In a lot of the competing products, an extremely informed end-user can do battle with the tools provided, but in today's market, end-users have less and less time to try and keep up. The CSAW alerts come out every day, and they're huge. Adobe did a master patch last Thursday and another one a few days later."

"To some extent, Bitdefender already covers most of the security features; you don't need to buy other solutions."

"It is easy to use, and there is a lot of automation. So, users don't need to worry about that."

"The solution is useful in the event of a gray file or grayware, as there are certain files users may download of which we know little about."

"Bitdefender has shown fantastic stability over the past eight years with no major incidents reported."

"I like the fact that it works pretty well. It can be a little aggressive at times, but I'd rather have it be a little bit aggressive than not catch what it's supposed to catch. We've been running that platform for about five years, and we've not really had any viruses or malware get through. It's also easy to set up, and it's easy to manage."

More Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer pros

"Working for a Check Point partner we utilise Check Point's endpoint solution in our day to day work and the most valuable benefit is knowing I am being protected from email, endpoint and removable media attacks and when attacks occur I am likely to weather the storm better than other users."

"Threat extraction can help us to remove malicious content from documents by converting them to PDF."

"The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services."

"You do not need to risk your network by using the in-line sandbox."

"This product protects us against the most common and sophisticated attacks including phishing email, account takeover, protection against malicious files, malicious attachments, and malware."

"It saves time with us trying to do the analysis. We use it to try to find out how something got into the network. We use it to stop something before it ever gets in."

"The most valuable feature of Check Point SandBlast Network is the sandboxing of PDF and Microsoft system files."

"Nothing is perfect, but Check Point is pretty close to perfect."

Cons

"It would be better if there were real-time alerts. The whole suite, unlike most anti-virus consoles that just ping you when there's an infection or something, for some inexplicable reason, Bitdefender doesn't do that. The most you could do is get an hourly email, or maybe if there's an outbreak that affects 30% of our machines, it sends me an email. There's no real-time alert to say, "Hey, so-and-so literally 30 seconds ago just had this happen on their machine." Real-time reporting would be a huge improvement. All in all, it's a pretty nice product, generally speaking. They do a pretty good job. They can pretty much go toe to toe with just about anybody. But it's that kind of real-time nature. I've not had occasion to use the EDR portion to actually try and do any kind of custom scripting to drill into things that are going on at the endpoints. But my understanding from reading comments of others is that it's not particularly flexible in that regard to be able to do things like that."

"It would be better if there were real-time alerts. Unlike most anti-virus consoles that ping you when there's an infection or something, for some inexplicable reason, Bitdefender doesn't do that."

"We would like to see the time it takes for the sandbox to analyze a file reduced from its ten or fifteen minute duration to five."

"It does everything we need. We haven't been able to throw anything at it that it couldn't handle."

"It should be more secure. There should be more protection, especially for non-signature-based malware. It works fine for non-signature-based malware, but I expect it to become a bit more advanced to be able to cope with future or upcoming environments."

"We would like to see the time it takes for the sandbox to analyze a file reduced from its ten or fifteen minute duration to five."

"One area that needs improvement in Bitdefender Sandbox Analyzer is the addition of an asset management feature."

"We propose the on-premises solution to most of our customers, for which we must provide a license, although no such request accompanies customers who want a cloud-based solution."

"Today, we have it as part of a solution or a package. However, we'd like there to be a way where we can have the solution's features available to us in a cheaper way in the future."

"We would like to see this solution reach mobile devices more efficiently, through apps or more specific products."

"Every time we try to do SandBlast, we run into a conundrum where the certificate issue comes into play."

"The knowledge base of Check Point SandBlast Network contains some confusing context, which might be confusing while configuring and designing."

"I think Check Point provides standard time which ideally most other vendors take to identify behaviors of a file by sending them into a sandbox environment for inspection."

"The technical support could use some work, but it's okay. It's a little bit of a tedious process to get through."

"The file types that can be scanned are limited, which means that if the file type is not listed or enabled for the sandbox, they are bypassed and it can lead to a security issue."

"I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think it's probably less expensive than something like CrowdStrike. We got a really good deal because it was literally their year-end, and they were trying to close all the sales for the week. So we bought a three-year contract from them. It roughly ended up costing me somewhere around $17 for an endpoint per year. It was really quite a nice pricing. I've talked to other folks where they got CrowdStrike, and it's like $60 for an endpoint for a year. It does, and they can be pretty aggressive if you're dealing with them directly, and I have. So no complaints there."

"You need a license to a certain extent. You need to pay for advanced features. For corporate accounts, it isn't is really a problem, but pricing is an important thing for many companies."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"The pricing is quite effective, not excessively high. On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing a nine."

"The product's cost is high."

"We would like to try the Threat Extraction blade, but you need to buy a license. Check Point is expensive. I would like to buy things, but I would need the funding."

"The cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."

"We have seen ROI."

"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."

"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
