Productivity Loss and Cyber Risks in Branch Offices
Today's branch offices are on the frontline, directly interacting with customers and the public. They connect the public cloud and internet, exposing them to cyber threats and often making them a weak link in enterprise network security.
As employees return to the office, they experience downgraded network performance compared to their high-speed home internet. Bandwidth-hungry SaaS and enterprise apps become frustrating to use at the office due to lag, choppiness, and freeze-ups.

Frontline Defense for the Branch
The 3950 delivers 4x higher threat prevention throughput compared to previous models, ensuring secure, blazing fast network performance for SaaS productivity apps like Zoom, Teams, Salesforce, etc.
High Performance HTTPS Inspection
While commonly used for good, HTTPS web traffic can also hide illegal user activity and malicious traffic. Enterprises need the ability to inspect a broad range of encrypted TLS 1.3 and HTTPS channels while also excluding the inspection of sensitive regulated industry traffic, such as Health Care and Financial. Check Point makes it easy to fine-tune HTTPS security using customizable dynamic security policies.
