The Check Point Next Generation Firewall provides us with holistic perimeter and endpoint security protection throughout the enterprise. The robust and secure VPN functionality also provides enough confidence to enable a 'work from home' / 'road warrior' culture within the organization. In-depth application control, URL filtering and SSL inspection features also mitigate a significant amount of risk for internal users browsing the internet and hosted services that face the internet. Data loss prevention, compliance, threat emulation, and other blades overall make this a robustly unified platform for the implementation and management of security controls.
- SSL inspection provides more effective mitigation of threat and data leakage with the ability to inspect and analyze encrypted traffic.
- Threat emulation and extraction provides protection against zero-day threats without compromising the data of infected files.
- 'Office mode' VPN provides a seamless connected experience for remotely connected individuals.
- Application control features provide granular restrictions to the type of application traffic than can pass through the network.
- Pricing is not as competitive as the alternatives.
- Perimeter antivirus is not as effective as its competitors
- Steep learning curve and expensive certification paths may impair training paths
Our Check Point Firewall is being used across the organization for all of our internet traffic. All network traffic is backhauled to our corporate location, filtered by the firewall, then out to the internet, and vice versa. The business problem it addresses is to allow certain traffic while blocking others. This is done through both an IDS/IPS, and logging.
- Logging -- Logs are clearly displayed with all information about the packet
- Canned reports -- The reports "out of the box" are pretty nice and give you a lot of detail
- Rule Configuration -- Defining (basic) rules is easy to do, and understandable
- HTTPS Inspection -- The firewall has troubles re-packaging the packet in a way that some websites are able to interpret correctly
- Support -- Even getting support directly from Check Point isn't the easiest of experiences. They are more concerned about how fast they can close a ticket out, rather than fixing the problem.
- Custom reports -- Custom reporting is extremely limited
