What a time to be alive. The coronavirus outbreak has accelerated the digital transformation of enterprises requiring them to expand support for remote internet connectivity across the globe. Businesses need to provide their employees the tools to protect corporate data and intellectual property while working remotely. Cyber attacks have increased during this crisis, and the large number of remote workers have become easy targets for hackers.  During these challenging times, companies are focused on three needs that are critical for any enterprise network today:

• Having security that stops cyber attacks as they happen
• The ability to handle any type of growth on demand
• Unified products that speed up operations

To address these needs, Check Point has introduced the new Quantum Security Gateways^TM that provide ultra-scalable, power efficient protection against Gen V cyber threats.
