Quantum Force Firewalls Bring Lightning-Fast Cyber Security to the Branch Office
Check Point, Wednesday, May 28th, 2025
Our hyperconnected world demands more from cyber security than ever before. Security leaders must prevent intrusions at the network level, but also protect a distributed, cloud-enabled workforce in hybrid roles and in branch offices with the same enterprise-grade security that protects a company's headquarters.
A significant portion of work - and the workforce - resides in branch offices. For financial services, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare industries, branch offices can number into the hundreds. With each additional location, the attack surface expands and so does the opportunity for hackers to find a beachhead into the enterprise network.
According to the latest data from Check Point Research (CPR), branch offices are now facing an average of 713 weekly attack attempts per location, a 36% rise from the same period last year. Additionally, 50% of branch offices encounter attempts to exploit vulnerabilities from external sources, highlighting the urgent requirement for robust branch security and scalable management in the AI era.
