SAN CARLOS, Calif., Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Check Point\u00ae<\/sup> Software Technologies Ltd.<\/u><\/a> (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, has announced the launch of Check Point <\/u>Horizon<\/u><\/a> \u2013 the industry-leading prevention-focused suite of security operations solutions and services that combines proactive management solutions for Managed Prevention and Response (MDR\/MPR), Extended Prevention and Response (XDR\/XPR) and Events. All powered at the click of a button and supported by the industry\u2019s top analysts, research experts and innovative AI technology.<\/p>\n

The cyber threat landscape has never been more severe. Check Point\u2019s Mid-Year Report recently revealed a 42% global increase in cyberattacks<\/u><\/a> and ransomware is now the number one threat to businesses. Attacks are increasing all the time as security teams struggle to shut down breaches before damage spreads due to the distraction of endless alerts and false positives across multiple siloed tools and a narrow attack vector view that lacks context. The problem is made worse by a lack of cyber experience and the ongoing skills shortage.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, there is now a critical need for all organizations to have a security operations center (SOC), with 24\/7 monitoring, response, and threat hunting capabilities. However, for the majority, running this kind of operation is too complex and expensive. Also, SOC provision up to now, does not match the scale of the challenge as the industry is only focused on detecting and responding to attacks rather than preventing them.<\/p>\n

Craig Robinson, Research Vice President for Security Services at IDC commented: \u201cMany of the existing MDR solutions in the market today simply deal with detection and management of cyber incidents, but actually preventing incidents has largely been missing in the MDR arena, until now. Check Point Horizon\u2019s strategy of going prevention-first is a game-changing feature addition in the crowded MDR market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dan Wiley, Head of Threat Management and Chief Security Advisor at Check Point Software, said: \u201cThe secret sauce to Horizon is in its unique combination of preventative tools, the industry\u2019s top analysts and research experts and innovative AI. Check Point Horizon is a unified solution across your entire infrastructure that will vastly improve your cyber defenses and prevent attacks from happening, while reducing overheads and TCO.\u201d He continued: \u201cThe strength of any MDR service is in its people, and prevention is in our DNA. With Horizon MDR\/MPR, customers benefit from the direct experience of our Incident Response team who handle more than 3,000 incidents per year. If you do not have the resources to run a solid 24\/7 SOC, we will do it for you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Check Point Horizon brings a prevention-first approach to security operations by providing SOC teams with the tools and services needed to prevent attacks in real-time with fewer resources. It includes:<\/p>\n
