What is Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)? – Check Point Software

Why is ATP Necessary for Threat Prevention?

The cyber threat landscape has evolved rapidly in recent years. Organizations’ IT environments have been transformed by a move to the cloud and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, cyber threat actors have become more sophisticated and professional, leading to higher-impact, more costly attacks.

With remote work becoming commonplace, the endpoint has become the first line of defense for many organizations’ cybersecurity programs. This means that these endpoints are targeted by sophisticated attacks and require advanced endpoint security solutions to protect them.

ATP solutions are designed to provide this advanced protection. They use a variety of next-generation security solutions to identify cyberattacks early in their lifecycles, which enables them to break the attack chain and prevent the attack before it can cause significant damage to an endpoint.
