SAN CARLOS, Calif., July 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP), a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, today announced new capabilities for its industry-leading mobile threat defense solution, SandBlast Mobile. SandBlast Mobile 3.0 becomes the only solution in the category to offer threat prevention technology for the enterprise, allowing employees to safely conduct business using their mobile devices.

“Mobile devices are a key part of the IT ecosystem of businesses globally. However, in most organizations, they are not protected anywhere near the level they need to be, in relation to the value of the corporate assets they store and process,” said Itai Greenberg, VP of Product Management at Check Point Software Technologies. “Enterprises need to use consistent, comprehensive threat prevention across their mobile fleets, to stop these devices being the weak point in their security defenses. The new capabilities for SandBlast Mobile extend our best-in-class threat prevention technology to mobile, delivering fully-integrated protection across enterprise networks, endpoints, cloud and mobile deployments.”
