With several sandboxing solutions available in the market today, how do you go about choosing the one that’s right for your organization? On March 2, 2015, Gartner published the “Market Guide for Network Sandboxing” geared at providing guidance to organizations looking to prevent the most sophisticated unknown malware from compromising their systems and networks. In this paper, we will present the key points of the Gartner research, and then discuss how we feel Check Point solutions are meeting those requirements today.
In Gartner Predicts 2015: Infrastructure Protection, Gartner states that “By 2018, 85% of new deals for network sandboxing functionality will be packaged with network firewall and content security platforms”1 We believe the reason behind this statement is clear—there is an inherent desire to minimize the number of separate security products an organization must deploy, consolidate the security alerts into fewer and more consistent screens, and integrate and correlate the alerts into one meaningful dashboard. Because of this, network firewall gateways with their out-of-the-box visibility to network traffic are the ideal platform to offer the best sandboxing security services to organizations.
