Check Point TE250 Private Cloud Threat Emulation Appliance
Discover and stop new, zero-day and targeted attacks

How it Works:

Identify suspicious files at the organization

• Identify files in email attachments or downloads from the web
• Suspicious files are sent to the ThreatCloud Emulation Service
• Supported without Check Point infrastructure using a unique agent for Exchange server
• Supported on existing Security Gateways running R77

File Emulation

• Launch files for emulation in a virtual sandbox environment
• Inspect file behavior in multiple operating systems and office versions
• Monitor activities: file-system, system-registry, processes and network connections
• Suspicious activities by files are flagged, and a unique algorithm further determines whether the file is engaged in malicious activities
• Generate a detailed report including file details, abnormal activity details and actual screenshots of the sandbox environment while running the file

Prevent malicious file from entering the organization

• Malicious files are stopped inline before breaching the network

Share malicious information with ThreatCloud

• Immediate update to ThreatCloud to prevent newly detected malicious files from entering other organizations

Features:

ThreatCloud Emulation Service

ThreatCloud Emulation Service is a cost-effective subscription where customers pay only for the amount of incoming files to the organization. No changes are required at the organization—files can be sent for emulation from an existing security gateway or from an agent for Exchange server. A global quota for the organization allows centralized management and visibility of both threat and service usage information.

Virtual Sandboxing

Check Point Threat Emulation works by intercepting and filtering inbound files, running them in a virtual environment, and flagging those files that engage in suspicious or malicious behavior commonly associated with malware, such as modifying the registry, network connections, new file creation, and more. Once these new threats are discovered, the file signature is sent to Check Point ThreatCloud to turn the new malware into a known and documented threat that can be prevented.

Multiple Emulation OS Support

Check Point ThreatCloud Emulation provides multiple simultaneous environments for file simulation: Windows XP, 7, Microsoft Office and Adobe environments.

ThreatCloud Emulation Detailed Report

A detailed report is generated per any file emulation. The report is simple to understand and includes detailed information about any malicious attempts originated by running the file. The report provides actual screenshots of the environment while running the file for any operating system on which it was simulated.

Encrypted Communications

Files delivered into the organization over SSL and TLS represent a secure attack vector that bypasses many industry standard implementations. Check Point ThreatCloud Emulation looks inside SSL and TLS tunnels to extract and launch files to discover threats hidden in those protected streams.

Prevent Malicious Files from entering the Organization

Files returned back to the security gateway or Exchange agent with detailed information about their activity from the ThreatCloud Emulation Service. Malicious files then stopped from getting into the user and prevent infection at the organization.

ThreatCloud Ecosystem

Newly discovered threats are sent to ThreatCloud, which can then protect other Check Point connected gateways. Each newly discovered threat signature is distributed to other Check Point connected gateways to block before the threat has a chance to become widespread. This constant collaboration makes the ThreatCloud ecosystem the most advanced and up-to-date threat network available.

Simple and Flexible Deployment at the Organization

Check Point ThreatCloud Emulation is implemented in a way that works with existing networks. Files can be sent to the ThreatCloud Emulation Service or to a Private Cloud Emulation Appliance. Any R77 Security Gateway or an agent for Exchange server can monitor incoming files and send suspicious ones to emulation.
