Featured Reviews

Abnet Tsegaye Belay - PeerSpot reviewer
Has prevented zero-day attacks by analyzing and disarming suspicious files before delivery
Check Point SandBlast Network offers wide protocol coverage. It inspects emails through SMTP, POP3, and IMAP, web downloads through HTTP and HTTPS, and file transfers. Original files are analyzed in the sandbox while users get clean copies instantly to their inbox. It detects zero-day exploits in suspicious and normal files, and includes forensic and reporting features that provide detailed incident analysis, malware behavior reports, and indicators of compromise. The wide protocol coverage is particularly valuable because suspicious activities happen across different protocols. With Check Point SandBlast Network supporting multiple protocols, there is strong protection for our networks. Since implementing Check Point SandBlast Network, we have gained enhancement in our email and web security. It protects our files, complies with different standards, and reduces lateral movement in our networks.

With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.
