Improved network security through detailed device tracking and proactive threat management
The best features that Check Point Antivirus offers are numerous, especially its ability to segregate each device into partitions on the same page, showing all connected devices such as mobile phones, smartwatches, laptops, and cameras. It provides details like the brand name, model name, host name, IP address, and MAC address in differentiated categories, allowing for easy tracking of what devices are connected to the internet. This is a significant positive aspect of Check Point Antivirus that many other devices lack, and it aids in day-to-day work. With our limited internet IP scope of only 512 IPs, users often connect multiple devices like two phones, two tablets, and smartwatches to the internal network. At times like this, I, as an IT admin, can log in and block specific mobile devices and peripherals, excluding laptops, desktops, access points, and switches, to free up IPs. Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted my organization by having a pre-inbuilt antivirus, which is stored within the Check Point devices, scanning each endpoint device connected to the firewall. When a threat is detected on any devices connected to the internal network, Check Point Antivirus provides immediate pop-up alerts before a user even notices the issue, keeping users informed and advising them to refrain from connecting their devices to other networks within the organization.
