Great AI, less false positives, and great administration capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "Its main value and what we liked the most is its powerful AI."
  • "Among its most outstanding features is the powerful AI in container security; above all, it is one of the most powerful and easy-to-manage solutions."
  • "We would like to have a solution of this type for the administration of applications from mobile devices."

What is our primary use case?

We had the need to protect the computers in the cloud that we were migrating, giving them greater security and having control over the events and tasks that they execute. 

This need led us to have and search for a solution that would support us directly with containers and the security of our access APIs. 

Above all, we needed something that would give us added value when implementing, and that was where we came to use Check Point AppSec. 

Its main value and what we liked the most is its powerful AI.

How has it helped my organization?

With so many tasks that we have at the administration level, as administrators, we find this solution as one of the best recommendations due to its powerful AI. It supports us to be scalable and learn in management with the data it is learning. 

Zero-day management and preemptive stop management provide detection in hours, not weeks. These help us to be much more proactive and efficient in our security management and in much of what we have in the cloud and the infrastructure that we have been migrating to the various cloud.

What is most valuable?

Among its most outstanding features is the powerful AI in container security. Above all, it is one of the most powerful and easy-to-manage solutions. It manages to protect itself, and it manages to include its new rules based on what manages to learn. This helps us protect web applications and APIs by eliminating false positives and stops automated attacks against our organization. It eliminates the need to adjust rules manually and create exceptions each time an update is performed.

What needs improvement?

We would like to have a solution of this type for the administration of applications from mobile devices. It would help us to be more portable with management from tablets, iPads, or some cell phones, becoming easier to administer. 

We'd lie to see it take on the characteristics of quantum applications and have these solutions all in one, protecting us and giving us even more value than what it is giving us today.
