What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Check Point Software Technologies introduced a Firewall-as-a-Subscription model for its advanced firewall protection. This monthly or annual model allows organizations to scale protection over a three-year term, specifically targeting companies whose capital budgets cannot support large hardware purchases. The subscription includes AI Network Firewall capabilities based on software version R82.20.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shift addresses budget constraints in the security sector, as 55% of security leaders reported flat or shrinking budgets despite 64% requesting increases. The subscription model converts on-premises security hardware into a predictable operating expense, which industry experts expect demand for will rise as AI adoption increases network risk.
