    If you have the Check Point environment and want to utilize the Checkpoint environment, you should use the [Check Point] ThreatCloud. Without [Check Point] ThreatCloud, there’s no way to stop the 0days or APTs. However, [Check Point] ThreatCloud relies on the Checkpoint infrastructure to be used and integrated. If you have other firewall and/or endpoint vendors, [Check Point] ThreatCloud is not the best service to be used. Checkpoint also offers 24x7 threat cloud-managed security services to [...] organizations. Threat cloud-managed security services leverage the threat cloud decreasing the detection time and false-positive rates via increasing protection rates.

    IBM X-force is community-based and crowd strike is not. Community-based will always be best-effort quality.

    Return on Investment
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • High score rates [are] seen on breach systems after deploying systems integrated with [Check Point] ThreatCloud
    • Catch rates are very high compared to other vendors
    • One missing thing is the detection for localized URLs and IPs
    • Purchasing within the 3-year perspective is cheap compared to other solutions; ROI is generally six months
    • [Check Point] ThreatCloud eliminates the need [for] other additional services that may need to be deployed like dedicated IPS, Dedicated Sandbox, DNS solution, etc.
