10 Reasons to Upgrade Your Check Point Firewall

Could you enjoy “Business as Usual” if your firewall stopped working?

Check Point firewall version R77.30 will go end of support in September. Just 17 weeks away! All versions prior to R77.30 are already unsupported. Therefore, we urge customers running on R77.30 or lower to contact us immediately and arrange an upgrade to the latest supported version.

Your firewall is at the heart of your business. Without it operating correctly, your business cannot function. Firewall failure may result in loss of Internet access and email, or attackers compromising your business systems, customer data or intellectual property; all of which could have catastrophic effects on your business. Still, many businesses overlook this and continue to run unsupported legacy software or hardware, not appreciating that this is a ticking timebomb. Sudden failure of an unsupported product could immediately cripple many businesses. Therefore, ensuring your firewall is upgraded and fully supported by the vendor is crucially important to ensure the best protection against the latest “Gen V” cyber threats, and maintain timely access to expert help if problems arise.
