The underlying technology began life as Perimeter 81, an independent Israeli SSE/ZTNA vendor founded in 2018 that had grown to more than 3,000 customers and a Forrester Zero Trust Wave recognition before Check Point Software Technologies - the much larger, long-established Israeli cybersecurity vendor behind Check Point Firewall-1, founded in 1993 - acquired it for approximately $490 million in a deal announced September 2023. The acquired product was rebranded Harmony SASE, integrated into Check Point’s four-pillar Infinity Architecture (Harmony for users, CloudGuard for cloud, Quantum for network, and the Infinity management layer), and has since been rebranded again to ‘Check Point SASE Platform’ as of the most recent primary materials found in our research. Check Point brings scale and financial stability to this relationship - the parent company reported $2.333 billion in FY2025 revenue with $836 million in GAAP net income, a materially profitable, stable financial position. The platform’s clearest current strength is a credible piece of independent, comparative third-party validation: Miercom, an independent security-testing firm, evaluated Check Point directly against Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco and Fortinet across ten real-world enterprise use cases in 2024 and found Check Point led on security efficacy, administrative and user experience, and zero-trust implementation, with a specific, dated malware-blocking figure of 99% against a range as low as 74% for other vendors tested. Compliance is well-documented and specific - SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27002, GDPR, HIPAA, HITRUST, and alignment with more than 40 CIS Safeguards across 11 of 18 CIS Controls are all confirmed directly by Check Point’s own materials. Commercially, pricing is not published, consistent with the standard pattern in this product category, and independent review data (Gartner Peer Insights specifically) includes a worth-noting caution that per-user licensing costs can outpace comparable VPN alternatives at scale.","page_title":"Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
