Check Point Software Technologies has announced that Check Point Threat Emulation Service, which protects organizations against new, unknown and targeted attacks before they infect a network, has the highest catch rate of malicious files. In recent benchmark testing, 600 malicious files were scanned through Check Point Threat Emulation and other competitive products. The results found that Check Point outperformed all of the others in this test; with a malicious file catch rate of 99.83%.The other competitive products detected an average of 53% of the files as malicious, with the highest competitor’s catch rate at 75%.
“In the past 30 days alone, Check Point Threat Emulation detected over 53,000 previously undiscovered malware threats through emulation of over 8.8 million files. This staggering statistic is an example of the ever-increasing rate at which organizations are facing advanced and unknown attacks,” said Gabi Reish, vice president of product management at Check Point Software Technologies. “With a malicious file catch rate of over 99%, Threat Emulation provides our customers with the quickest protections against undiscovered malware in the industry’s most comprehensive multi-layered security solution available.”
As the modern threat landscape evolves with more aggressive and destructive generations of cybercrime, hacktivism, cyber espionage and targeted attacks, Check Point Threat Emulation has accelerated detection and increased awareness of these threats. For example, it typically takes anti-virus and IPS detections nearly three days to detect unknown malware, while some malware can be left undetected for months or even years. Check Point’s global research found that a typical organization downloads an unknown malware every 27 minutes. An integral part of Check Point’s multi-layered Threat Prevention solution, Threat Emulation discovers and prevents infections from undiscovered exploits, new variants of malware, and targeted attacks by dynamically emulating files within a virtual sandbox.
