SAN CARLOS, CA — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, today announced it has earned the highest security effectiveness score in NSS Labs’ first-ever Breach Prevention System (BPS) test. NSS Labs tested Check Point’s SandBlast Full Threat Prevention solution using a single consolidated 15600 gateway, running at 9,268 Mbps, and recommended it for both its security effectiveness and lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

Of the group tested, Check Point achieved the lowest TCO per protected Mbps, and a block score of 100 percent for Drive-By Exploits, Social Exploits, HTTP malware and Email malware.
