Helps detect and prevent attacks and offer helpful sandbox analysis
Check Point SandBlast Network was acquired when the company needed to improve its security posture in different characteristics. The company had a deficiency in monitoring the corporate network. This tool analyzes the traffic network in a way that is really efficient, and of course, the best thing…

Easy to set up and use with a nice interface
We primarily use the solution for threat protection. It was for a government project. It involves using a VPN and firewall.  It's easy to use. The interface is very good.  It was easy to set up initially. The sandboxing is good. It offers a very useful Excel protocol that isn't available…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Threat Emulation gives networks the necessary protection against unknown threats in files that are attached to emails. The Threat Emulation engine picks up malware at the exploit phase before it enters the network. It quickly quarantines and runs the files in a virtual sandbox, which imitates a standard operating system, to discover malicious behavior before hackers can apply evasion techniques to bypass the sandbox."
"Check Point has enabled us to detect a lot of threats and prevented a lot of threats from entering our environments. It has kept us safe."
"One of its characteristics that we liked the most was its analysis and emulation of activities in the emails since it manages to review them and inspect them if they have an infected attachment."
"The most efficient and protective characteristics of Check Point's SandBlast solution are that we can see a lot of this protection at the network and mail levels."
"The solution can detect and prevent attacks that may be encrypted."
"The forensics reports and the ability to sandbox malware are its most valuable features."
"Preventing zero-day threats and extracting potential threats from incoming files with Threat Extraction is the most valuable feature for us."
"When our workers are downloading software, SandBlast Cloud is useful to emulate the downloads that the workers are doing. Then, there are no threats coming into the company."
"It is very scalable."
"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like if it could emulate bigger files and somehow improve this usability. I don't know if this would be possible. However, if it was able to scan or emulate bigger files, then it would be safer for a company using it."
"I would like for them to improve the visibility in the product."
"Most of the time stability is okay, but sometimes, we're not able to contact the cloud. It won't last for long. The product could be faster."
"EDR and EPM solutions like Carbon Black or CyberArk have integrations with the cloud version of Sandblast, however, there must be on-premise Sandblast options also."
"They need to improve the GUI interface."
"I would like to see these solutions being easier to manage from mobile applications - from either iOS or Android - including other operating systems that appear in the future."
"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."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost of Check Point SandBlast Network is annually, and there is only a standard license."
"The cost is not significantly high and it can be negotiated during any purchase of NGFW."
"We have seen ROI."
"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 product's cost is high."
"I think the overall cost for introducing Check Point with SandBlast was reasonable and competitive in the market."
"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."
"Our licensing fees for this solution are approximately one million dollars per year."
"The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
