Cyberattacks are hitting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) harder than ever. According to Check Point Research, weekly attacks on small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have increased by 61 per cent, outpacing trends in large enterprises. As digital transformation accelerates, these businesses need enterprise-grade security and performance, but often without the resources of a full IT team.

Check Point’s new Quantum Spark 2500 series address this challenge directly. Designed for SMBs and their managed service providers (MSPs), the 2500 series delivers artificial intelligence (AI)-powered threat prevention, next-generation connectivity, and cloud-based, multi-tenant management, all within the Check Point Infinity Platform.

Features of 2500 Series are as follows:

  1. AI-powered, prevention-first security: The 2500 series is powered by ThreatCloud AI and the latest R82 software, offering industry-leading protection against malware, phishing, zero-day exploits, and DNS-based attacks. Built-in virtual patching and zero-phishing technology allow defenses to stay ahead of attackers even before official patches are applied.
  • Blocks 99.9 per cent of known and unknown threats
  • Delivers real-time AI-driven threat prevention
  • Provides consistent policy enforcement across customer environments.
  1. Fast, reliable, and scalable connectivity: The gateway connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, dual-SIM 5G, and SD-WAN. These features give SMBs the bandwidth and resilience they need to maintain productivity and cloud access.
  • Wi-Fi 7 delivers up to 2.4 times faster wireless performance
  • 5G enables high-speed internet, even in remote locations
  • SD-WAN and dual ISP ports support seamless failover and high availability.
  1. Built-in resilience for always-on operations: Business continuity is critical for SMBs. That is why the 2500 series includes redundant power supplies, optional high-availability clustering, and dual SIM connectivity to keep operations running smoothly, even during outages or hardware failure.
  • Dual ISP and SD-WAN ensure continuous connectivity
  • Dual power and failover clustering support maximum uptime
  • Designed to prevent downtime across distributed environments.
  1. Streamlined MSP management through infinity portal: Managing dozens or thousands of SMB customers is easier with the upgraded Spark Management cloud-delivered application, now fully integrated into the Infinity Portal. This platform supports multi-tenant, multi-tiered administration with centralised visibility, proactive alerts, and automation.
  • Zero-touch provisioning and template-based configurations reduce setup time
  • Unified dashboards monitor network, Wi-Fi, endpoint, email, and SASE in one view
  • Self-service portals empower SMBs while freeing up MSP resources.
  1. Unified security, open ecosystem, greater value: The Quantum Spark 2500 series is part of Check Point’s Infinity architecture, which delivers unified, prevention-first security across networks, cloud, endpoints, and mobile. It also supports an open garden ecosystem, allowing MSPs to integrate seamlessly with third-party platforms while avoiding vendor lock-in.

Commenting on the launch, Francisco Criado, vice president (VP), Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, Check Point, said, “Our new Quantum Spark series is built with MSPs in mind. It helps partners reduce complexity, streamline operations, and deliver consistent security across hundreds or even thousands of SMBs.”
