Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the largest pure-play security vendor globally, today announced that it is positioned as a Leader in the 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls. Check Point has been positioned as a Leader in Enterprise Network Firewalls since 1997.
"The Leaders quadrant contains vendors that build products that fulfill enterprise requirements. These requirements include a wide range of models, support for virtualization and virtual LANs, and a management and reporting capability that is designed for complex and high-volume environments, such as multitier administration and rule/policy minimization. A solid NGFW capability is an important element as enterprises continue to move away from having dedicated IPS appliances at their perimeter and remote locations. Vendors in this quadrant lead the market in offering new safeguarding features, providing expert capability rather than treating the firewall as a commodity, and having a good track record of avoiding vulnerabilities in their security products. Common characteristics include handling the highest throughput with minimal performance loss and offering options for hardware acceleration," writes Gartner.
"We’re proud to have been placed in the leader’s quadrant for enterprise network firewall once again. Since our first firewall product in 1993, we have continued to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape. Our mission is to secure the future of the internet, and the firewall will continue to play an integral role in combatting cyber threats alongside our new innovative technologies," said Marie Hattar, chief marketing officer at Check Point Software Technologies.
