Check Point’s Infinity Platform offers the best protection against the latest generation of cyberattacks, with a block rate of 99.9% on new malware, 99.7% phishing prevention rate, and 98% average block rate on high & critical intrusion events.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has announced that its Infinity Platform achieved a 99.9% block rate on Zero+1 day malware, along with a 99.7% phishing prevention rate, marking it as a leader in this year’s security benchmark report by Miercom. The platform also boasts a significant 98% block rate on high and critical network intrusion exploits.

“Yet again, in a comparison between the top five cyber security companies, Miercom recognizes the Check Point Infinity Platform for delivering the industry’s highest threat prevention rate,” said Eyal Manor, VP of Product Management at Check Point Software. “With cyber attacks growing 44% year-over-year, preventing and detecting threats is essential to protecting our digital way of life. These Miercom results validate our exceptional ability to accurately detect and block new malware and critical events.”

The latest Miercom report highlights Check Point as having the best record for vulnerability to hacks, with only one entry in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) database, compared to higher entries from competitors.

Miercom’s report has expanded to assess threat prevention capabilities across hybrid firewall use cases, including on-premises, Cloud, and Firewall-as-a-Service. Check Point’s Infinity Platform excels in these categories, providing robust threat prevention across its comprehensive hybrid mesh firewall solution.

Rob Smithers, CEO at Miercom, stated, “We proudly award Check Point with the Miercom Certified Secure certification in recognition of their superior competitive performance and exceptional value for organizations of all sizes.
