Check Point SASE (formerly Perimeter 81) is a cloud-delivered network security platform that provides secure access and network protection as a service. The offering is presented as a software-based service for enterprises and distributed organizations, delivered over a globally distributed network of data centers and private backbone infrastructure. Regions of operation are presented as global through use of numerous international data centers and customer references from multiple countries.

Services and Capabilities

• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): delivery of identity-centric access controls that connect users to company resources without requiring traditional site-to-site VPNs.
• Secure Web Gateway and Internet Access: cloud-based web and DNS filtering, malware protection, on-device inspection for web traffic, and privacy/compliance controls.
• SaaS security and CASB functions: discovery of shadow SaaS, monitoring of SaaS integrations, anomaly detection driven by AI, and policy controls to remediate misconfigurations.
• Private Access and SD-WAN: private backbone connectivity with full-mesh routing, optimized application routing, auto-steering based on link health, sub-second failover across WAN links, and zero-touch branch provisioning.
• Centralized management and analytics: a single console for policy administration, firewall and traffic visibility, and controls across users, devices, branches and cloud resources.

Industry Focus

• Enterprise IT and distributed workforces: secure remote access, centralized firewall and client management, and reduced hardware and help-desk burden for hybrid environments.
• Cloud and SaaS-first organizations: SaaS posture monitoring, DLP-style controls for cloud applications, and integration with cloud providers such as AWS.
