Horizon Playblocks platform contains attacks and prevents them from spreading.
Check Point Software Technologies has launched Check Point Horizon Playblocks, a security automation and collaboration platform that automatically contains attacks and prevents them from spreading.
Horizon is Check Point’s prevention-first security operations security suite, which includes the Managed Detection/Prevention and Response (MDR/MPR) SOC service, the Extended Detection/Prevention and Response (XDR/XPR) SOC platform and now Playblocks, the security collaboration platform for security teams.
In a traditional security model, solutions work at the local environment level, which assumes threats are contained within the silo. Horizon Playblocks augments security by enabling products, people, and processes to work together to stop the proliferation of attacks. It redefines security approaches by enabling a holistic collaborative method.
Once a security product detects a potential threat at any enforcement point, it activates preventative actions throughout the entire security infrastructure, across every security solution, and takes operational actions to alert the necessary teams.
“Horizon Playblocks encapsulates our vision of collaborative security—it’s where people, processes and technologies unite to deliver intuitive, consolidated, and automatic defence mechanisms,” said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer, and Head of R&D at Check Point Software Technologies. “The best way to understand Playblocks is to think of it as an “instinctive” security product, able to immediately block an attack in its tracks and preventing its spread across an organisation. With its unique blend of immediate response, automatic updates, and third-party integration, Playblocks embodies true collaborative security.”
“The security and operational value of Playblocks became clear to us immediately. Playblocks eliminates a lot of manual work and does a great job automating prevention to keep our teams and data safe,” says i.A. Plamen Todorov, Senior Information Technology Specialist at MOTORTECH GmbH. “The collaborative nature of the platform means that all of our security products are working in sync together to provide a level of security which was previously unattainable.”
“In cybersecurity time is the attackers’ biggest advantage, so the more preventative actions can be automated the better an organization can prevent severe threats,” says Michael Suby, IDC Research Vice President, Security & Trust. “By harnessing the preventative powers of all security products in an environment, the Playblocks platform makes it easier for security teams to automate the most crucial actions across multiple tools and let SOC analysts focus where they can be most effective.”
Horizon Playblocks is now available both as an individual product and as a component of Check Point Horizon´s XDR/XPR.
