To prevent infections from undiscovered exploits, threats and targeted attacks, Check Point has announced a new Threat Emulation Software Blade solution. This solution quickly inspects suspicious files, emulates how they run to discover malicious behaviour and completely prevents malware from entering the network.
Check Point Threat Emulation also immediately reports new threats to Check Point’s ThreatCloud service and automatically shares the newly identified threats with other customers. With Check Point Threat Emulation technology, new threats are blocked and infection does not occur.
Dorit Dor, Vice-President of Products, Check Point Software Technologies, said, “Unknown exposures and zero-day exploits are top attack vectors in today’s network environments, primarily because they have the ability to avoid traditional malware detection –making it hard for organizations to keep up with the sheer volume of threats. Our new Threat Emulation software blade not only detects, but is the first solution to prevent infections from the initial contact, empowering our customers to block undiscovered malware attacks, before they threaten network security or disturb the flow of business.”
The Threat Emulation prevents threats by selecting downloaded files and common email attachments such as Adobe PDFs and Microsoft Office files.
Check Point Threat Emulation provides customers with flexible deployment options within either dedicated appliances or through cloud-based service. Emulation and reporting can be managed using Check Point’s management console from any gateway, with local device management available for dedicated appliances.
The Threat Emulation Software Blade will be available for purchase through the Check Point worldwide network of value-added resellers in the second quarter of 2013.
