Check Point has 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 delivers fast, secure, and resilient connectivity as part of the Check Point Infinity architecture.
“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.”
According to Check Point Research, SMBs experienced a 61% year-over-year increase in cyberattacks, outpacing the growth seen in larger enterprises. At the same time, cloud and SaaS bandwidth demands have more than doubled over the past two years. Many SMBs lack dedicated IT teams and depend on MSPs to manage increasingly complex security environments. The Quantum Spark 2500 series address these needs with high-performance, all-in-one appliances that provide robust protection, simplified management, and enterprise-level capabilities.
“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.”
Key Capabilities of the Quantum Spark 2500 Series:
- Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Built In: Embedded Wi-Fi 7 and dual-SIM 5G support deliver 2.4 times faster speeds and enable seamless remote access. SD-WAN ensures consistent connectivity for cloud-first businesses.
