Security Gateway

Stateful firewall / network traffic filtering: The Check Point Security Gateway inspects and controls network traffic using stateful inspection, tracking connection state to allow legitimate traffic and block unauthorized communication according to policy.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): An integrated IPS inspects traffic for exploit attempts and known attack signatures and blocks them inline, protecting systems behind the gateway from network-based attacks.

Application control: The gateway identifies and controls thousands of applications and their functions, letting administrators allow, block, or limit specific applications regardless of port or protocol.

URL filtering / web filtering: URL filtering categorizes and controls access to websites, blocking malicious and policy-violating sites and enforcing acceptable web use.

Antivirus and anti-malware at the gateway: The gateway scans traffic for malware, stopping malicious files at the network perimeter before they reach endpoints.
