Check Point unveils Quantum Lightspeed Firewall

Check Point has extended the Check Point Quantum portfolio with Quantum Lightspeed Firewalls to introduce the biggest network security revolution in the last decade and sets the standard for firewall performance to enable Hyper-fast datacenter security for every enterprise:

● 5 times better firewall throughput – Up to 3 Tbps per system / 800 Gbps per single gateway
● 10 times faster – Ultra-low latency at 3 microseconds
● 20 times better price performance than competing solutions

Utilizing an innovative ASIC technology developed by NVIDIA, Check Point Quantum Lightspeed delivers breakthrough firewall performance that allows enterprises to support elephant flows and securely transfer terabytes of data in minutes instead of hours. Financial institutions can now securely process millions of hi-frequency trades with microsecond latency, and any business can provide fast access for remote users and support high growth businesses.

“As more enterprises rely on their hybrid datacenters to conduct business transactions, they need to implement a solution with network security speed,” said Dr. Dorit Dor, Chief Product Officer at Check Point. “Our goal was to design a solution that would work in the most demanding data centers which require high security throughput, low latency and can expand on demand to support rapid growth. Check Point Quantum Lightspeed hyper-fast firewalls deliver line-rate firewall performance at the speed of the network, setting a new standard in cybersecurity performance.”
