Check Point Launches Horizon Security

Check Point Software is offering its Horizon platform based upon the company´s preventive  philosophy, to improve defences across the network, cloud and endpoints and stop future cyber attacks. 

The Horizon platform combines proactive management solutions for Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Horizon is powered at the click of a button and is supported by innovative AI technology and Check Point's teams of expert analysts. 

Check Point reports a 42% global increase in cyber attacks to the middle of 2022 and that 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. Against this backdrop, there is now a critical need for all organisations to have a Security Operations Center (SOC), with 24/7 monitoring, response and threat hunting capabilities. However, for many organisations running this kind of operation is far too difficult and expensive 

SOC provision does not, up until now, match the scale of the challenge for organisation who are only focused on detecting and responding to attacks,

Craig Robinson, Research Vice President for Security Services at IDC commented: “Many of the existing 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’s strategy of going prevention-first is a game-changing feature addition in the crowded MDR market.”

The Head of Threat Management and Chief Security Advisor at Check Point Software, Dan Willey commented, “The secret sauce to Horizon is in its unique combination of preventative tools, the industry’s 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.

He continued: “The 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.”

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.
