Helps prevent advanced threats and reduce incident response times through unified security policies
The best feature Check Point Infinity offers for me is threat prevention, which is effective at blocking malware, ransomware, and phishing, as well as preventing zero-day attacks before they reach users or systems. For our team, the threat prevention in Check Point Infinity works by layering multiple defenses that stop attacks before they reach users or systems, and the most effective feature for us is the specific SandBlast Zero-Day Prevention, which uses advanced sandboxing and threat emulation to detonate suspicious files in a safe environment. Check Point Infinity has impacted my organization positively, as I have seen a reduction in security incidents and response times, with threats that used to slip through different point solutions now being blocked automatically thanks to the unified prevention layers.
Anthony Tuhame - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Technology Manager at Everseen
Continuous threat monitoring has strengthened our endpoint protection and reduced false positives
Key improvements I would like to see include fewer false positives. I understand that almost all EDR or cybersecurity platforms cannot be 100 percent accurate, but I need to see fewer false positives. Another thing I want to see is improved threat detection accuracy. I want them to improve their AI and investigations and implement a faster investigation process. I would recommend them to invest heavily in machine learning. I would also recommend introducing onboarding calls before someone purchases the software because we faced a challenge whereby we had no idea about how to install it in our system. We had to rely on documentation and support, but if they could offer onboarding calls, it would be great.
