SINGAPORE, July 17, 2025 -- Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today unveiled the new Quantum Spark 2500 series, a next-generation firewall family designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs). With built-in Wi-Fi 7, 5G, SD-WAN, and AI-powered threat prevention, the 2500 series deliver fast, secure, and resilient connectivity as part of the Check Point Infinity architecture.

Bridging Security, Speed, and Simplicity

“The Quantum Spark 2500 series deliver a critical combination of security, speed, and simplicity,” said Shahar Divon, Director of Worldwide MSSP and SMB Sales at Check Point Software Technologies. “With AI-powered prevention, next-generation connectivity, and centralized cloud management, it empowers SMBs to scale securely without the burden of complex operations.”

The launch comes at a time when small businesses face mounting cyber risks and bandwidth demands. Check Point Research reported a 61% year-over-year increase in cyberattacks targeting SMBs—surpassing attack growth rates in larger enterprises. Meanwhile, cloud and SaaS usage has more than doubled over the past two years, intensifying the pressure on IT infrastructure.

Designed for SMBs and Built for MSPs

Recognising the constraints faced by many SMBs—particularly the lack of in-house IT teams—the Quantum Spark 2500 series addresses these gaps with high-performance, all-in-one security appliances. These solutions are designed to support both internal teams and MSPs, offering simplified management and enterprise-grade protection in a cost-effective form factor.

“Small and medium sized businesses are faced with an increasingly sophisticated threat-landscape, without the resources and dedicated personnel of larger enterprises. While managed service providers (MSPs) can help with deployment and management, they require security tools which solve modern security problems efficiently and effectively,” said Pete Finalle, Research Manager, IDC Security and Trust.

“Check Point’s new Quantum Spark 2500 gateways and updated cloud-based security management offer high-performance threat prevention, accelerated connectivity with Wi-Fi 7, 5G, and SD-WAN, and protection for IoT devices. With multi-tier, multi-tenant management and zero-touch provisioning, Check Point is equipping MSPs with purpose-built tools that are ideal for protecting any size SMB from evolving threats.”
