Insights
The latest Miercom security benchmark results represent a significant competitive advantage for Check Point Software, showcasing industry-leading threat prevention rates that substantially outperform major competitors. The 99.9% block rate for Zero+1 day malware and 99.7% phishing prevention rate are particularly noteworthy when compared to competitors' ranges of 62.7% to 90.9%, demonstrating a clear technological gap.
These results carry substantial weight in the current cybersecurity landscape, where attacks have increased by 44% year-over-year. The superior performance in preventing Zero+1 day threats is especially important as these represent some of the most sophisticated and damaging attack vectors. The company's achievement of having only one Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) compared to competitors' 11-21 KEVs provides a compelling differentiation point in enterprise sales cycles.
From a market perspective, these results strengthen Check Point's position in the rapidly growing Security Service Edge (SSE) and SASE markets. With a 99% block rate in SSE/SASE threat prevention versus competitors' 74-96%, the company is well-positioned to capture market share in cloud security transformation initiatives. This is particularly relevant as enterprises accelerate their cloud adoption and hybrid work strategies.
For enterprise customers, these performance metrics translate directly to reduced security risk and operational costs. The high prevention rates mean fewer security incidents requiring investigation, reduced potential for data breaches and lower remediation costs. The comprehensive coverage across on-premises, cloud and Firewall-as-a-Service use cases also addresses the complex security needs of modern hybrid environments.

“Yet again, in a comparison between the top five cyber security companies, Miercom recognizes the Check Point Infinity Platform for delivering the industry’s highest threat prevention rate,” said Eyal Manor, VP of Product Management at Check Point Software. “With cyber attacks growing
This year, Miercom introduced an important firewall comparison to reflect the quality of cyber security products, by assessing their vulnerability to being hacked. Leveraging CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) database, Miercom highlighted Check Point as having the best record – with one single KEV. The other top cyber security vendors had 11, 16, and 21 KEVs.
With the advent of the hybrid mesh firewall platforms, Miercom's 2025 security report has expanded to provide a holistic view of threat prevention across all three hybrid firewall use cases: On-premises, Cloud, and Firewall-as-a-Service (SSE/SASE). The Check Point Infinity Platform delivers a comprehensive hybrid mesh firewall solution with exceptional threat prevention.
“We proudly award Check Point with the Miercom Certified Secure certification in recognition of their superior competitive performance and exceptional value for organizations of all sizes,” said Rob Smithers, CEO at Miercom. “Based on our latest head-to-head competitive test findings and observations, the Check Point Infinity Platform sets the standard in all of the security efficacy testing categories. In our benchmarks, the Infinity Platform offers the best protection against the latest generation of cyberattacks, including Zero+1 Day new malware. Check Point also enables enterprises to effectively prevent new malware from entering and spreading across their networks, servers, and endpoints, saving them time, money, stress, and resources.”
The report includes the following highlights:
- Zero+1 Day Malware Prevention vs Detection: Check Point led with the highest score preventing
99.9% of malware downloads. Other vendors ranged from62.7% to90.9% . - SSE/SASE Threat Prevention: Check Point led with a
99% block rate. Other vendors ranged from74% to96% . - Phishing Prevention: Check Point proved to have the best overall prevention against phishing URLs, making use of Quantum Firewall Software R82’s advanced AI deep learning capabilities. Other vendors ranged from
55.87% to98.69% .
To understand vendors’ threat prevention capabilities, Miercom ran benchmarks over the course of three months. Miercom continuously downloaded sets of 500 malicious files from VirusTotal, with samples consisting of Office docx, Office xlsx, pdf, exe, PowerShell, Bash script, APK, and dll and archived files. Miercom assessed each firewall solution using Anti-virus, IPS, Anti-bot, URLF, sandboxing, and all the AI\ML powered security engines. Testing was run concurrently on each vendor’s solution to determine how well each blocks modern attacks.
