Productivity Loss and Cyber Risks in Branch Offices
Today’s branch offices are on the frontline, directly interacting with customers and the public. They
directly connect the public cloud and internet which expose them to cyber threats. This often makes
branch offices 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. Suddenly, the same bandwidth-hungry SaaS and enterprise apps become
frustrating to use at the office due to lag, choppiness, and freeze ups.

power supply, 16x 1GbE, 2x 2.5GbE, 8x 1GbE SFP
ports and 4x 10GbE connections to support
highspeed network in today’s hybrid mesh branch
networks.
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 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.
