Check Point SandBlast Network

Check Point SandBlast Network is an advanced network threat prevention solution designed to stop sophisticated zero-day attacks, evasive malware, and targeted ransomware at the network perimeter before they can compromise enterprise assets. Operating as an integrated capability on Quantum gateways or as a dedicated SandBlast emulation appliance, the solution employs CPU-level exploit detection and sandboxing technology to identify malicious code during the pre-infection phase before exploits can bypass traditional OS-level security controls.

The architecture combines two core components: Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. Threat Emulation executes suspected files within a secure cloud or on-premises sandbox, inspecting CPU instructions and memory operations to detect evasion techniques, zero-day vulnerabilities, and multi-stage payloads. Simultaneously, Threat Extraction utilizes Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology to remove active content, embedded macros, and malicious objects from incoming files, delivering a completely sanitized, safe document to the end user in milliseconds, ensuring uninterrupted employee productivity while deep emulation completes.

SandBlast Network is powered by Check Point ThreatCloud AI, sharing newly discovered threat indicators globally across the Check Point ecosystem within seconds. Primary enterprise use cases include protecting corporate perimeters from weaponized spear-phishing attachments, neutralizing evasive malware downloads, defending unpatched network servers against zero-day exploits, and satisfying stringent regulatory compliance mandates like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NIST SP 800-53. Check Point SandBlast Network consistently earns top threat prevention accuracy scores.
