Check Point named a leader in Enterprise Firewalls Report

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd., a global provider of cyber security solutions, was named a leader in The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Firewalls, Q4 2022. According to Forrester Research, a global research and advisory firm, Check Point “has an admirable vision: to be so good at threat prevention that it protects everyday business customers who aren’t cybersecurity specialists running a sophisticated SOC.” Check Point can protect any enterprise through intuitive products that greatly simplify the implementation of security policies.

The Check Point user interface increases the efficiency of security operations by quickly detecting, investigating, and automating responses across the entire IT infrastructure.
