Checkpoint NGX is an advanced security software platform that is the basis for all Check Point enterprise security solutions. NGX is the platform that enables the sharing of common security technologies, Unified Security management, and Universal Updateability across all Check Point solutions. It represents a unique approach to enterprise-wide information security by enabling a unified security architecture across an entire security system. The NGX platform is an extension of the robust, secure, and reliable Next Generation (NG) platform that has been the foundation of network security defenses for tens of thousands of enterprises.
