FAQs

Check Point collects intelligence items from thousands of sources across the open, deep and dark web. This includes social media platforms, code repositories, paste bins, Telegram groups, Discord servers, malware logs, credential dumps, cybercrime forums, dark web marketplaces, Tor services, ransomware gang websites, data leak sites, and much more. 

Check Point maps threat intelligence to your assets through a number of techniques. Your domains and configured keywords are monitored and correlated with all the intelligence aggregated through automated collection. Proprietary machine learning algorithms analyze the data to find the real threats that require immediate mitigation, assign confidence levels and risk scores, and issue enriched Alerts in real-time for fast response. 

Check Point’s attack surface management solution provides detection AND exposure validation once a vulnerability is detected. 

The types of attack surface issues Check Point detects and validates are:  

  • Exploitable Ports   
  • Vulnerable Technologies (CVEs) 
  • Exploitable Vulnerabilities In Web Apps 
  • Exposed Cloud Storage   
  • Exposed Web Interfaces   
  • Hijackable Subdomains 
  • Certificate Authority issues   
  • Compromised Credentials   
  • Hijackable Subdomains   
  • Mail Servers In Blocklist   
  • SSL/TLS issues 

The core ASM solution process is passive so it does not actively validate or test any security controls. The discovery process will not give security teams the impression an attack is underway. There is no impact on normal operations.
However we just added a new option, active exposure validation which allows you to take ASM one step further if you wish.

With an in-house remediation team specializing in takedowns, Check Point conducted more than 10,000 successful takedowns in 2024. We have built relationships with a variety of hosting providers, registrars, social media platforms, and app stores around the world, and we have developed standardized procedures with these organizations. Customers can request takedowns with a single click of a button. 

Check Point’s dark web monitoring capabilities rely on an array of advanced crawlers and proxies which enable data collection from thousands of relevant sources while maintaining anonymity. Each source is crawled and scraped according to the allowed policies on it.  

Logs from information-stealing malware, often called InfoStealers, are some of our richest sources. Each log comes from an infected machine and may contain dozens or even hundreds of sets of credentials. In some cases, these credentials are username/password combinations that provide access to corporate networks, resources, and data

Check Point’s Complete package and above do. Check Point’s analysts help your team save time and reduce cyber risk, maximizing the value of your ERM deployment. An assigned analyst triages and enriches alerts, provides expert insights and recommendations, and directly supports your team. 

This reduces your team’s workload, accelerating response and remediation activities while freeing up time to focus on other priority projects. 

Check Point has received 43+ G2 Badges Top Service reviews with a total of 118 reviews with a 4.8 average.
