Check Point Software Technologies

SMB firewall series with Wi-Fi 7 and 5G options and MSP cloud management

Overview

Check Point’s SASE platform descends from Perimeter 81, a security service edge company whose cloud service let businesses build a private corporate network over a global backbone without hardware. When Check Point Software Technologies completed the acquisition on 13 September 2023, Perimeter 81 served more than 3,000 customers and partners, mainly managed service providers and resellers, and had more than 200 employees[15]. The product was marketed as Harmony SASE and is now presented as the Check Point SASE Platform[14].

The platform combines Private Access, an identity-based ZTNA service over a full-mesh private backbone for employees, third parties and branches; Internet Access with on-device inspection, web and DNS filtering and malware protection; SaaS security with inline and API controls and DLP; and SD-WAN with application routing and failover[14]. Check Point cites more than 80 data centres and more than 12,000 customers secured, and states that it was named a leader in Forrester’s Zero Trust Platforms Wave for Q3 2023[14].

The Perimeter 81 era was known for published per-user prices, but the current product page lists no pricing, so the service is treated here as quote-based[14]. Buyers moving from the older product should verify which features remain in their tier after the rebranding.
