OVERVIEW 

The Check Point 5600 appliance combines the most comprehensive security protections to safeguard your mid-size enterprise. The 5600 is a 1U appliance with one I/O expansion slot for higher port capacity, redundant fans and a redundant power supply option, a 500 GB hard disk, and optional Lights-Out Management (LOM) for remote management. This powerful security appliance is optimized to deliver real-world threat prevention to secure your critical assets and environments. 

COMPREHENSIVE THREAT PREVENTION 

The rapid growth of malware, growing attacker sophistication and the rise of new unknown zero-day threats require a different approach to keep enterprise networks and data secure. Check Point delivers fully integrated, comprehensive Threat Prevention with award-winning SandBlast™ Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction for complete protection against the most sophisticated threats and zero-day vulnerabilities.

ALL-INCLUSIVE SECURITY SOLUTIONS 

Check Point 5600 Appliances offer a complete and consolidated security solution available in two complete packages: 

  •  NGTP: prevent sophisticated cyber-threats with IPS, Application Control, Antivirus, Anti-Bot, URL Filtering and Email Security. 
  •  NGTX: NGTP with SandBlast Zero-Day Protection, which includes Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. 

PREVENT KNOWN AND ZERO-DAY THREATS 

The 5600 Appliance protects organizations from both known and unknown threats with Antivirus, Anti-Bot, SandBlast Threat Emulation (sandboxing), and SandBlast Threat Extraction technologies. 

As part of the Check Point SandBlast Zero-Day Protection solution, the cloud-based Threat Emulation engine detects malware at the exploit phase, even before hackers can apply evasion techniques attempting to bypass the sandbox. Files are quickly quarantined and inspected, running in a virtual sandbox to discover malicious behavior before it enters your network. This innovative solution combines cloud-based CPU-level inspection and OS-level sandboxing to prevent infection from the most dangerous exploits, and zero-day and targeted attacks. 

Furthermore, SandBlast Threat Extraction removes exploitable content, including active content and embedded objects, reconstructs files to eliminate potential threats, and promptly delivers sanitized content to users to maintain business flow.

INSPECT ENCRYPTED CONNECTIONS 

There is a shift towards more use of HTTPS, SSL and TLS encryption to increase Internet security. At the same time files delivered into the organization over SSL and TLS represent a stealthy attack vector that bypasses traditional security implementations. Check Point Threat Prevention looks inside encrypted SSL and TLS tunnels to detect threats, ensuring users remain in compliance with company policies while surfing the Internet and using corporate data. 

INCLUSIVE HIGH PERFORMANCE PACKAGE 

Customers with high connection capacity requirements can purchase the affordable High Performance Package (HPP). This includes the appliance plus one 4x 1Gb SFP interface card, transceivers, redundant power supplies, Lights-Out-Management and 16 GB of memory for high connection capacity.

REMOTE MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING 

A Lights-Out-Management (LOM) card provides out-of-band remote management to remotely diagnose, start, restart and manage the appliance from a remote location. Administrators can also use the LOM web interface to remotely install an OS image from an ISO file. 

10 GbE CONNECTIVITY 

High speed connections are essential in modern enterprise and data center environments, especially those with high-density virtualized servers. If you’re ready to move from 1 to 10 GbE, so is the 5600 Appliance. The Check Point 5600 lets you connect your 1 GbE server uplinks to your 10 GbE core network with up to 4x 10 GbE ports. 

TAP THE POWER OF VIRTUALIZATION 

Check Point Virtual Systems enable organizations to consolidate infrastructure by creating multiple virtualized security gateways on a single hardware device, offering significant cost savings with seamless security and infrastructure consolidation.
