At a glance

A spot on Newsweek’s list

Newsweek and Statista have named Check Point Software Technologies one of America’s best cybersecurity companies. It’s a familiar spot.

What Check Point sells

Check Point offers a broad range of security tools and has invested heavily in new products as attacks grow more sophisticated. Its products target problems ranging from zero-day attacks to ransomware. The Newsweek and Statista ranking draws attention to how well those tools work in practice.

Staying ahead of attackers

The company’s approach is to anticipate attacks. As threats grow more complex, Check Point keeps updating its products and strategies to stay a step ahead of attackers, with the stated aim of letting customers run their businesses without the constant worry of a disruptive incident.

A record of innovation

Check Point’s reputation rests on steady product development. The Newsweek recognition fits its standing as a company that designs defenses to stop threats before they land. In a field where companies rise and fall on how fast they adapt, that record has kept it near the top.

What the ranking signals

Rankings from well-known publications carry weight with buyers. This one is a reminder for companies in every industry to review their own defenses, and Check Point is often used as a benchmark for how a mature security program looks.

What the ranking means for buyers

Attackers are getting more sophisticated. Defenses have to keep up.

An award is a motivator to keep improving, for the winner and for the companies watching. Check Point’s place on the list shows what steady investment in security products can achieve.
