Check Point SandBlast Network Reviews

The main use case for Check Point SandBlast Network is for sandboxing purposes, which means analyzing and detecting zero-day attacks for advanced threat prevention, especially targeting zero-day attacks, ransomware, unknown malware, and file-based exploits. It is a core component of Check Point SandBlast Network solutions that we have used. 

A specific example of when Check Point SandBlast Network helped my organization catch and prevent zero-day attacks or unknown malware occurred when we observed files being downloaded from the internet and emails. The sandbox can be integrated with emails, making it possible to analyze them as well. 

This use case helps the organization stop questionable files by delivering a clean copy to the user and keeping the original file for further analysis in a virtual environment. By analyzing the file's behavior, we can determine whether it is malicious or clean traffic. 

Accordingly, SandBlast takes action on those files and keeps our client environment safe from zero-day attacks. Most often, we see in the logs the presence of phishing mails containing attachments, which behave abnormally and try to execute unauthorized commands. Such malicious activities are observed in the sandbox, effectively preventing cyber threats and keeping us safe from zero-day attacks and unwanted malware.

Check Point SandBlast Network has positively impacted our organization by reducing incidents, improving user confidence, and saving time since implementing it. With around 2,000 users in our organization, after deploying threat emulation for network security, we haven't seen any incidents, including zero-day or ransomware attacks. 

Check Point effectively captures advanced threats, leading to no business disruptions and allowing users to focus on their tasks without interruptions, helping the organization grow economically. While I cannot directly state specific metrics or numbers, it is evident that Check Point SandBlast Network is saving us time, as staying protected from attacks minimizes the need to address issues related to incidents. Since no attacks have happened, there is no business impact, which ultimately allows us to function without disruption. 

From user feedback, it is evident that after deploying Check Point SandBlast Network, no attacks have happened, resulting in no business disruptions. Even the potential 1 or 2 hours of downtime could account for billions of dollars, so the organization's ability to go without experiencing cyber attacks is a significant value saved. Users are reassured, knowing that Check Point SandBlast Network handles potential threats, allowing them to work freely on the internet without concerns about file downloads. This builds confidence among users.

SandBlast Network enhances security by providing advanced threat prevention. It utilizes geographic-based policies to mitigate attacks. For example, it addresses the OWASP Top Ten security risks, which include common vulnerabilities such as XSS and SQL injection. These algorithms are designed to protect against the most prevalent and dangerous attacks in the world, making them an excellent solution for comprehensive security.

Check Point offers three types of support: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. The level of support you receive should be based on the criticality of the issue, not solely on your client's support tier. While there are established support levels, I have experienced instances where the support provided was not categorized as Gold, Platinum, or Diamond but rather a standard support level. In such cases, the response times were slower, and getting support personnel on the call was more difficult.

Check Point SandBlast Network was acquired when the company needed to improve its security posture in different characteristics. The company had a deficiency in monitoring the corporate network. This tool analyzes the traffic network in a way that is really efficient, and of course, the best thing is that it identifies suspicious patterns and behaviors. With this solution, we managed to improve the entire comprehensive posture of the critical assets of the organization's network.

Within the first six months of implementing Check Point SandBlast Network, we have managed to improve the security posture little by little. We have managed to reduce some threats, and with this, we have managed to locate where to improve the defense against malware, exploits, and zero-day attacks. 

One of the features that has helped us a lot is the capacity for sandboxing analysis and deep inspection of SSL/TLS traffic, which has enabled us to neutralize malware that the other technologies we have were not able to identify.

One of the great needs that our company was going through was the need to protect its infrastructure against hackers or malicious bots, as well as cyber-attacks.

We wanted a robust technology that would meet our objectives. We wanted to prevent attacks on our business environment. In addition, as a company, we already use various Check Point technologies and we wanted to continue with the same scope and security that they have offered us in recent years. That's why Check Point SandBlast Network provides us with that security by scanning everything that passes through our network.

Since implementing the Check Point SandBlast Network tool in the organization, in an environment of around 200 servers (both physical and virtual), we also have three high-availability clusters. 

Before, we only depended on a firewall; however, this acquisition has helped us a lot to improve the entire security environment of our company. In addition, the tool has excellent features such as Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction as well as sandboxing. We can even extract the malicious content of the files or block files completely and can also work as email APT and can remove malicious content from the email body.

I use the solution in my company for securing incoming emails, specifically the ones with attachments. The tool scans the incoming documents for specific network traffic. We also use the tool to inspect and download files for malware or malicious content.

With the tool, malware does not get into our environment, and the user does not open emails with malware in them. We don't get any security breaches, which is the most important benefit of using the tool in our company.

We are using this solution to keep our organization network secure from threats as it provides a virtual environment for the files to scan and emulate.

It keeps our organization secure and is effective against zero-day threats as it gets frequently updated. 

With so many threats at the computer level, we have sought solutions that allow us to improve our internal perimeter security at the technological level to minimize exposure and one by one ability to reduce recovery time in the event of an attack. 

As a necessary part of security, we needed a solution that could integrate easily with other solutions and third-party solutions to allow us an in-depth defense against any threat that we detect. Based on all this, we effectively wanted to protect ourselves with the best solution and brand on the market. 

The product gives us advanced protection, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and services. It is managing to protect us from malware fishing, cyber-attacks, and network exploits and allows us to emulate each of these attacks in a controlled environment. It is one of the few solutions that manage to emulate in real-time and minimize exposure to vulnerabilities since it detects if items have been analyzed and emulated, thus giving a 100% solvency solution before any infiltration.
