Check Point Software is transforming how organizations secure their networks with the Quantum Titan (R81.20) cybersecurity platform, which provides advanced threat prevention for on-premise, cloud and IoT environments. Powered by AI and deep learning technology, Quantum Titan provides advanced threat prevention and protection against the most sophisticated cyberattacks, including zero-day phishing and domain name system exploits. While cyberattacks have become more sophisticated with increased frequency and cost, IoT device expansion on networks and multi-cloud environments have created more network complexity and threats to an organization. The new Quantum Titan platform addresses the need for better security and less complexity by consolidating and automating threat prevention technologies, processes, and policies. This enables smarter, more efficient protection across an organization’s complex, distributed networks, both on-premise and in the cloud. Quantum Titan is one of the industry’s only platforms that can provide both IoT device discovery and automatically apply zero-trust threat prevention profiles to protect IoT devices.

Key capabilities include:

• Threat prevention with new AI Deep Learning engines: Traditional reputation services can’t identify sophisticated, zero-day phishing campaigns. Quantum Titan leverages AI and deep learning technologies to stop 5x more DNS attacks, as well as 4x more zero-day phishing vulnerabilities compared to traditional signature-based technologies. This prevents credential theft and attacks that lead to ransomware.
• Unique autonomous IoT security: Traditional security solutions for IoT require additional hardware sensors and investment as well as significant time spent to manually deploy and administer, just to detect and manage attacks – not prevent them. Quantum Titan provides quick, efficient discovery of every IoT device on the network, assesses device risk levels and automatically applies zero-trust profiles so organization can prevent attacks in less than 5 minutes, as well as automatically blocking network attacks against new vulnerable IoT devices.
• Business driven security performance: Legacy on-premise security systems don’t automatically scale or prioritize performance for peak workloads and mission critical applications. Quantum Titan delivers a significant performance boost for critical applications with 20+ features, focused on efficiency and performance. The platform instantly prioritizes applications and large workloads during peak periods or to cope with unexpected traffic spikes.
