What is Check Point Quantum DDoS Protector?

Check Point Quantum DDoS Protector is part of Check Point’s Attack Mitigation Solution and is a real-time, perimeter attack mitigation device that secures organizations against emerging network and applications threats. DDoS Protector protects the infrastructure against network and application downtime (or slow time), application vulnerability exploitation, malware spread, network anomalies, information theft and other types of attacks.


The Quantum DDoS Protector offered by Check Point provides comprehensive protection at multiple layers of the OSI model. It safeguards layer 3 (network layer) by mitigating volumetric attacks through advanced traffic engineering techniques, and also protects application layer (layer 7) by inspecting HTTP/HTTPS traffic for anomalies and malicious behavior.


Furthermore, the Quantum DDoS Protector is compatible with various internet protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, and BGP. This compatibility enables integration with existing network infrastructures and ensures effective defense against a wide range of DDoS attacks, enhancing the security posture of organizations.


DDoS Protection Features & Capabilities
  • Fewer False-Positives - Anti-DDoS, network behavioral analysis, IPS and SSL-attack protection. Fully protects the application infrastructure against known and emerging network security attacks.
  • Real-Time Signature CreationDDoS Protector is a real-time attack prevention device that protects your application infrastructure against network and application downtime, app vulnerability exploitation and network anomalies.
  • Real-Time Attack Detection & Prevention - Attack mitigation at scale offers a wide range of protections, up to 800Gbps. Flexible network connectivity accommodates an array of environments and networks. Options include 25G, 400G and high-density 100G ports.
  • Completely Managed Devices - On-premise device management provided by specialized Emergency Response Team (ERT) including security experts that set up, manage and tune the device to keep it synchronized with business processes and policies.
  • Flexible Deployment Options - Pick the option that best suits your architecture or use case, with cloud-based, hardware-based, or hybrid deployment options.
  • Dynamic & Granular Protection - Service providers with large-scale networks can easily detect and mitigate attacks and anomalies.
  • SSL Attack Mitigation - Hardware-based SSL engines inspect the latest SSL/TLS standards.
  • On Premises and Cloud-Based Mitigation - Defense Messaging between devices provides accurate and distant mitigation

The DDoS Protector appliances offer versatile connectivity and mitigation capacities, adhering to enterprise and service provider
deployments. Bandwidth mitigation capacities range from 6, all the way up to 400 Gbps. Protection can be further augmented
with Check Point's Cloud DDoS Protector Services.

DDoS Protector can be deployed inline, out-of-path (OoP) or in a scrubbing center to provide the highest mitigation accuracy within the shortest time. Each deployment mode offers the same performance as an inline device. With DDoS Protector deployed either inline or out-of-path as well as in a scrubbing center, the devices are able to communicate with each other in real-time to collect automatic updates of normal traffic baselines, detect behavioral patterns and obtain attack footprints. This constant real-time flow of Defense Messaging enables DDoS Protector to provide accurate and instant mitigation without the need to learn this information when an attack occurs.

The vendor states that deploying DDoS Protector devices out-of-path or in a scrubbing center is the most scalable and flexible solution as it is based on the maximum attack mitigation capacity needed, without being limited by the actual network physical topology.
