Check Point Software Technologies Launches Quantum Spark 1900 & 2000: Advanced Cyber security for SMBs

BANGKOK, Thailand, Jan. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CPX APAC – Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading AI-powered, cloud-delivered cyber security platform provider, announces the launch of Check Point Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000, the latest additions to its next-generation firewall series for small and medium business (SMBs). These advanced security gateways are specifically engineered to protect SMBs from ever-evolving cyber threats. The new Quantum Spark security gateways offer high-performance network security at scale with zero-touch provisioning, advanced cloud management, and automated threat management capabilities, making them ideal for medium-sized businesses.

In today’s digital age, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly challenged by cyber security threats. Despite their significant contribution to the global economy, these businesses often grapple with limited IT capabilities and budgets, leaving them exposed to advanced cyberattacks like malware, phishing, and ransomware. Although aware of these escalating risks and dedicating more funds to security, many SMBs remain inadequately protected, with only a fraction adopting enhanced security measures and training. To address these challenges, a growing number of SMBs are turning to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) for comprehensive, tailored cyber security solutions. By 2025, MSPs are expected to represent 40% of SMB cyber security expenditures, highlighting their crucial role in safeguarding these businesses.

Shahar Divon, Global Head of MSSP and SMB at Check Point Software Technologies, emphasizes, “The increasing reliance on MSPs as primary market conduits is a response to the growing necessity for end-to-end management of intricate software stacks and the advancement of digital initiatives. At Check Point, our Quantum Spark next-generation firewalls are specifically designed to safeguard data and systems against cyber-attacks, ensuring secure and efficient access. These gateways not only promise secure expansion in user numbers, transaction volumes, and data but also aid in reducing costs while supporting remote workforces, encouraging cloud adoption, and enabling digital transformation.”

The full line of gateways allows supporting businesses ranging from one all the way to 1,000 employees. They provide SMBs with a powerful combination of AI-powered threat prevention, easy management, and scalability, particularly important as many SMBs struggle with limited cyber security resources and expertise. The introduction of these new products aims to empower SMBs to protect their operations effectively and with confidence, amidst the complexities of the current cyber threat environment.

Quantum Spark™ Gateway 1900 and 2000 users benefit from:

“As cyber threats like phishing and ransomware increase, SMBs face more security challenges without the IT expertise and resources needed to defend themselves.  Check Point’s new Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 network security gateways provide SMBs with AI-Powered threat prevention, automated security for SD-WAN and IoT, and unified security management that is easy to deploy and use,” said Pete Finalle Security Research Manager at IDC. “Given their limitations, many SMBs are turning to managed service providers (MSPs) for security solutions. Check Point empowers MSPs to support SMBs with comprehensive security, remote streamlined management and zero touch deployment, reducing the need for onsite IT staff.”

The Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 series are available immediately. For full details and specifications of the six models in the Quantum Spark™ Gateway range, visit: https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/next-generation-firewall/small-business-firewall/
