hyperscale network security solution
heck Point has introduced
Check Point Maestro, which it
says is the industry’s first truly
hyperscale network security solution.
Check Point Maestro is a revolutionary
new architecture that enables businesses
of any size to enjoy the power of flexible
cloud-level security platforms and to
seamlessly expand their existing security
gateways to hyperscale capacity.

“Today’s threat landscape is evolving
at a rapid rate. That means businesses
must turn to agile cybersecurity
platforms that can scale very quickly,”
said Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst
from the Enterprise Strategy Group
(ESG). “Check Point’s solutions continue
to evolve with today’s threat landscape in
order to meet the needs of enterprises,
with capabilities that will combat zero-
day attacks while limiting disruption to
day-to-day business practices.”

“The principle behind Maestro is
very simple: it enables organisations
to start with their existing security
implementations, no matter how small,
and scale their protection almost
infinitely according to their changing
business needs.”
Check Point Maestro delivers advanced
new capabilities:
• Hyperscale security: Customers can
scale up their existing gateways of
any size on-demand, to support over
50x their original throughput, within
minutes. It gives seamless expansion
to hyperscale security, while protecting
organisations’ existing investments.
• Cloud-level resiliency: Maestro
is the only unified security system
that can offer cloud-level resilience
and reliability to all organisations’
deployments, with Check Point’s
HyperSync giving advanced telco-
grade clustering and full redundancy.
• Operational supremacy: It is
managed intuitively by Maestro
Security Orchestrator, which controls
all of an organisation’s gateways
as one unified security system,
minimising management overhead.
New 6500 and 6800 security
gateways give mega-scalability
The new 6500 and 6800 security
appliances set new standards of
protection against the most advanced fifth-
generation threats targeting mid-size and
larger enterprise networks, while offering
unprecedented scalability. Combining
Check Point’s award-winning Threat
Prevention suite with SandBlast Zero-Day
protection, with purpose-built hardware,
the 6500 and 6800 gateways deliver
the power to inspect SSL-encrypted
network traffic without compromising on
performance or up-time. u

With Check Point Maestro, organisations
can easily scale up their existing Check
Point security gateways on demand,
in the same way as spinning up new
servers and compute resources in
public clouds. Maestro enables a single
gateway to expand to the capacity and
performance of 52 gateways in minutes,
giving companies elastic flexibility
and enabling massive Terabit/second
firewall throughput. This almost limitless
scalability enables organisations to
support 5G networks’ high data rates
and ultra-low latency, and secure
the largest, most resource-hungry
environments, setting new standards in
hyperscale network security.
environments. It ensures organisations
can secure their dynamic, evolving
environments without limits, now and in
the future,” said Itai Greenberg, VP of
Product Management at Check Point.
