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.
Analytics, Threat Hunting and detailed investigations for the security incidents are the main use cases. Automation on the cloud based on the feeds through the minemeld is another use case. When you deploy PAN on perimeter, Autofocus gives you a temendaous value. If you have non PAN firewall/products running Auto focus doe not make sense.
As Checkpoint next generation firewalls were already implemented in the network, ThreatCloud was easy to implement and had better features and reputation than competitors

Minemeld is unique to PAN and working perfectly. Search outputs and are detailed and gives lots of data. Integration with SOAR is much easier with autofocus. Indicator list is huge. Tagging works magnificent.
