The Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000, Check Point Software Technologies’ most recent firewall products, were released. These products are a part of Check Point’s next-generation firewall series, which is designed to cater to SMBs’ specific requirements in the face of an increasingly hostile digital landscape. The launch of Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 would represent a key milestone in cybersecurity.
Small and medium-sized businesses often have limited IT budgets and resources, which would leave them especially open to ransomware, phishing, and malware attacks. According to Check Point, SMBs are allocating more money to strengthening their cybersecurity defenses. Nevertheless, there would still be a significant gap in the defensive measures that SMBs may realistically adopt due to the complexity and expense of complete cybersecurity measures.
Because of this disparity, SMB cybersecurity expenditure may shift to Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and MSSPs, in greater proportion by 2025, according to Check Point’s forecasts. MSPs would be essential in providing tailored cybersecurity solutions that tackle the unique obstacles and limitations faced by small and medium-sized businesses. The strategic significance of MSPs was emphasized by Shahar Divon, Global Head of MSSP and SMB at Check Point Software Technologies. He pointed out that Check Point’s Quantum Spark firewalls are designed to offer SMBs safe, effective, and scalable cyber defense mechanisms, enabling remote work, cloud adoption, and digital transformation.
The Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 gateways are designed to provide state-of-the-art network security. They include threat prevention driven by AI and machine learning, which greatly improves the capacity to fend against cyberattacks. According to Check Point, these systems have an impressive 99.8% block rate against malware, phishing, and assaults on DNS and IoT devices, among other types of cyberattacks. Their dual power supply, network connection choices, and integrated cloud security services would highlight their dedication to flexibility, efficiency, and resilience.
IDC: Rise in Ransomware and Phishing Attacks
The Quantum Spark firewall series would make it easier for MSPs to administer cybersecurity services for their SMB clientele. Sophisticated cloud management tools would provide MSPs with an all-encompassing perspective of network operations, allowing them to efficiently automate threat management. The management process is streamlined by the integration of security activities into a single dashboard, which may enable MSPs to more easily provide their SMB clients top-notch security services.
Pete Finalle, Security Research Manager at IDC, stressed the seriousness of the cybersecurity issues that SMBs must deal with, especially in light of the rise in ransomware and phishing attacks. He commended the Quantum Spark 1900 and 2000 series for offering SMBs automatic security features, AI-powered threat protection, and simple deployment choices. Mr. Finalle made the point that SMBs with limited resources and IT know-how would especially benefit from these solutions’ simplicity of use and implementation.
